How to Get More Tasks Done
- Use an 'Official List of Tasks I Gotta Do' list.
- Post new tasks to that list.
- 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:
- He comes up with task.
- He does the task.
- He comes up with a new task.
- He does that task.
- He comes up with a new task.
- He does that task.
- 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.
- He starts repeatedly thinking after every completed task, "Hmmmmmmmmmmm, what else do I do next?"
- His increasing momentum to complete things stops.
- 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:
- Come up with tasks in one sitting.
- 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.
