How to Get More Tasks Done

1. Use an 'Official List of Tasks I Gotta Do' list.
2. Post new tasks to that list.
3. Work from that list.

When it's work-time, you see yourself completing more tasks in less time.

Why? Your bad-self removes the "think time" that destroys your momentum in completing things.

Take Roger.

Roger does this:

1. He comes up with task.
2. He does the task.
3. He comes up with a new task.
4. He does that task.
5. He comes up with a new task.
6. He does that task.
7. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc.

When he transitions from 'completing the task', to 'coming up with a new task', he destroys his momentum in completing tasks.

1. He starts repeatedly thinking after every completed task, "Hmmmmmmmmmmm, what else do I do next?"
2. His increasing momentum to complete things stops.
3. He loses freakish time.

Repeatedly transitioning your mindset = exponentially-mother-freakish time wasted.

Therefore, Roger severely limits how many things he can do within a hour/day/week, etc.

One Mindset

Get in one mindset:

1. Come up with tasks in one sitting.
2. Complete tasks in one sitting.

When you complete a task, you'll start noticing completing the next task becomes easier (and the next one even easier, etc.).

Likewise, after you come up with a task, coming up with the additional task becomes ridiculously simpler-and-simpler-and-simpler.

Newton's Law.

List. Then do.
