Productivity
Soup of the day
Is your to-do list making you feel exhausted?
Instead of seeing it as a list of demands, Oliver Burkeman (author of Four Thousand Weeks) advises treating it like a menu.
It’s a selection of options for your day - ways to make it productive, relaxing, or impactful in any other way!
Productivity
Mono-tasking
People waste up to 22-28% of their time through multitasking.
Mono-tasking is the way to get things done.
If you want to start a mono-tasking session, you can use the Pomodoro technique - 25 minutes of uninterrupted work and 5 minutes of rest.
Productivity
The main quest
Are you losing track of your priorities as the day goes by?
It’s easy to forget which tasks are the most important as new ones come up.
To combat this, think of yourself as a game character who has a main quest per day.
Separate it from the side quests you can complete, but not at the cost of the main quest.
