When I’m feeling REALLY unproductive here’s what I do.
Task. Time Limit. Set the clock.
I name the exact task I want to get done and how long I give myself to do it.
This cures my pattern of unproductive work. I want to get a lot done, so I tend to switch between tasks in an attempt to feel like I am getting lots done…
Yeah, that doesn’t work.
The above protocol forces my hand.
Task: Edit the first minute to this week’s video. Time: 35minutes. Start the timer.
There’s no mistaking what I need to do and how long I will take.
Task. Time Limit. Set the clock.
