A sure way to feel productive is to plan a lot of small tasks throughout the day. Running errands, picking up mail or “starting to look at [important work]” but finding yourself switching to facebook all the time. How often are you doing things that really matter? (Pro tip: Cleaning your room is not gonna get you far) How often do you feel productive even though you know deep inside you’ve done nothing of importance?
Selective ignorance is bliss.
Choose to do the few important things every day that really matters. You will definitely feel less productive the first few days because:
1) there’s only a few things being done unlike before, and
2) you’ll resist to do the work at first because it requires more attention than useless tasks, hence feeling less productive.
The end results, however, could be amazing.
