Original Summary

I am a student, and I thought I was just bad with discipline. Each morning I'd open my to-do list and see, like, 30 things that all looked urgent and spend the first hour sorting through them. I was pretty worn out for the day by the time I actually got started. And the worst thing was, it happened again the next morning. So I tracked one week to see where the time went. To be honest, a lot of it was me just deciding what to do next. Every little “what now?” took a little bit of energy, and I only realized that when I wrote it down. This is nothing a list can fix. Everything looks equally important, actually, and I do the easy things first. What has helped me is I give every task a letter. “A” needs to be done today, “B” is important but not urgent, “C” is nice but not essential, “D” I delegate, and “E” I can delete. You get three A's maximum. You set a timer for the first one and then ignore the rest until it rings. I couldn't find any apps that actually enforced the three-task limit, so I built one. By the way, it’s called BLOC. It’s browser-based, so nothing to install, and it’s free as long as it’s in beta. If you try it, do it one day only, or maybe. a few days. Put in your list, see which three tasks make it as A's, and run one 25-minute block. If it doesn’t help, you’ve wasted about ten minutes. I'm the dev, so I'd really like to know: what was confusing in the first 5 minutes?   submitted by   /u/Busy_Newt_2390 [link]   [comments]
