  <body>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You set your sights on completing 9869530 items.&lt;/strong&gt; Night time arrives, and you've completed 1 item.  Boo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;"How do I complete more stuff?!?!"&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set an ambitious 30-minute goal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Imagine you're a coked-up ostrich on 'roids.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There, you've just:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="highlight"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;completed what you would've taken you the entire day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="highlight"&gt;barely caused a dent to your fabulously productive day ahead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;You do two of those 30-minute chunks in your day?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whoop-de-doo:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What normally had taken you two days takes you a collective 1 hour of work.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hip-hip-horaay!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;You'll Go Faster, and Faster, and Faster&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you've efficiently battled some ridiculous 30-minute goal, you'll feel = exhausted.  You'll then want to relax because you'll be like, "Oh. I so tired."  &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unbeknown to you, chill-axing replenishes your energy reserves to the max, helping you complete even more stuff.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Power of Relaxation?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your brain regains its full power.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your creative subconscious kicks into high gear.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You'll regain your vivacity.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kabbbbbbbooooooooooom!  &lt;span class="highlight"&gt;Your work-relax-work-relax-work-relax-yadda chunks exponentially increase your productivity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Think of it this way&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While other people are crawling dreadful 10 foots-per-hour on their marathons, what are you doing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="highlight"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You're using perpetual 20 miles-per-hour sprints to blow past all those %#@$#!@%!&amp;amp;$ in your way with exponential ease.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Say goodbye to Senor Boo-tay!  High-five!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Think 30-minute chunks.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
