Following on the idea of the procrastination dash and Jeff’s progressive dash,
I’ve been experimenting with a squirelly new system to pound through my
procrastinated to-do list. Brace yourself, because it is a bit more byzantine than is Merlin 2005’s newly stripped-down habit. It’s called (10+2)*5, and today it will save your ass.
Who it’s for
- procrastinators
- the easily distracted
- compulsive web-surfers
- people with a long list of very short tasks (a/k/a “mosquitos”)
- people having trouble chipping away at very large tasks
I read this and thought it could realy help. I fall into the not easily distracted category but the allways distracted category. Then maybe the answer is to turn off the Sametime client, Google Talk, MSN, Lotus Notes, the Mobile and set the desk phone to voice mail and the IP phone to voice mail too and I might get some work done.
