I find that the hot hand principle applies to work as well, in a way. There are times when I can sit down and hack through a tough, deep programming problem in a non-stop run, and times when trying to do that would be futile and unproductive... but maybe I’m up for clearing my inbox instead. Every time I try to regiment my daily activity or structure my to-do list with asana or whatever, I just end up falling back to “remember the 5-10 things you have to do and work on the piece you’re motivated to work on right now”.
