This is what happens for me even with shorter lists.
Or, I try to ease myself into working by starting with a list, but start feeling overwhelmed as the list grows longer.
When this happens, I more often than not end up procrastinating. It usually takes a critical deadline and an unhealthy amount of panic to break the deadlock.
- aidenn0 10y agoYeah that didn't work for me either. Try a really short pithy list: * Take out the trash Then 5 minutes later, congratulate yourself for getting your entire todo list done. If you are really ambitious, you can make a similarly pithy list for tomorrow, but do not do it until tomorrow; if you're anything like me that will lead to burn-out. After a week or two, graduate to a list with two items on it. Don't worry about a month from now. You can reevaluate then.
