Productivity

Beat precrastination

Pre-crastination is the tendency to rush into tasks with minimal preparation.

This can result in more mistakes, which can demotivate you further.

To find the sweet spot between pro- and precrastination, allow yourself to do things slowly and tackle the task that scares you the most first.

The Positive Tetris Effect

Tetris Effect describes the way our brain notices what we focus on.

Play Tetris for a long time, and you’ll start to see 'blocks in the world. 

It works for many things - including the positive and negative aspects of our work.

To start noticing more positives, make a conscious effort to write down good experiences every day.
