Sacrificing seconds to maximize the minute.

Multitasking vs focus

[Adrienne Lain @adrienne_lain]

@tferriss Many success stories are people who figured it out against all odds.

They became successful because of a decision, not the timing of the decision.

@itsfoss Any NixOS fans around? Used to love Arch until one day an update locked me out. Considering switching from Win 11 again

Personally, I suck at efficiency (doing things quickly). Here’s my coping mechanism and process for maximizing efficacy (doing the right things):

1) Wake up at least 1 hour before you have to be at a computer screen. E-mail is the mind killer.

2) Make a cup of tea (I like pu-erh) and sit down with a pen/pencil and paper.

3) Write down the 3-5 things—and no more—that are making you most anxious or uncomfortable. They’re often things that have been punted from one day’s to-do list to the next, to the next, to the next, and so on. Most important usually = most uncomfortable, with some chance of rejection or conflict.

4) For each item, ask yourself:

– “If this were the only thing I accomplished today, would I be satisfied with my day?”

– “Will moving this forward make all the other to-do’s unimportant or easier to knock off later?”

5) Look only at the items you’ve answered “yes” to for at least one of these questions.

6) Block out at least 2-3 hours to focus on ONE of them for today. Let the rest of the urgent but less important stuff slide. It will still be there tomorrow.

7) TO BE CLEAR: Block out at least 2-3 HOURS to focus on ONE of them for today. This is ONE BLOCK OF TIME. Cobbling together 10 minutes here and there to add up to 120 minutes does not work.

8) If you get distracted or start procrastinating, don’t freak out and downward spiral; just gently come back to your ONE to-do.

Congratulations! That’s it.

This is the only way I can create big outcomes despite my never-ending impulse to procrastinate, nap, and otherwise fritter away my days with bullshit.

If I have 10 important things to do in a day, it’s 100% certain nothing important will get done that day. On the other hand, I can usually handle 1 must-do item and block out my lesser behaviors for 2-3 hours a day.

@Nolancit0 Yet they are searching an area a couple miles away from where his car was found after a 911 call from someone hearing a loud bang in the back of their property. Might be a false positive.

Are Maine police not under the impression that Robert Card is on the run via boat? His Subaru was found at public boat ramp and appears to be an avid fisherman based on his social media. #MaineShooting

Rule #7: Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.

Stories, sales pages, brand pitches - always start with the end in mind and work backward from there.

If you won the DIY NAS: 2023 Edition, what would you do with it? What sort of problems would it solve for you?

The wife and I have become overly dependent on Google photos and while I've tried several upcycling projects of my own, my old hardware just isn't cut out to be a #NAS.

Will Oregon elect an Independent Governor? @senbetsyjohnson could be just what Oregonians and most Americans are waiting for - a leader who will bring people together and work across the aisle to solve problems. https://t.co/FBxkBh8miQ
