Procrastination Hack: change and to or
- smoyer 15y agohmmmm ... the car in front of me stops suddenly and I'm following a bit too close. "Slam on the brakes AND swerve into the empty lane to my right" Let's change that per the advice given in linked article ... "Slam on the brakes OR swerve into the empty lane to my right" If I choose the first, I'm not going to get stopped in time, but swerving without braking means I still clip the rear corner of that car due to inertia. I think the core advice is sound ... make sure the tasks you call dependencies really should be blocking your goal. But there are times when you really just need to get your butt in gear as soon as possible. Yes, it's still better to do one thing at a time but the real issue is identifying those tasks which really are time critical.
