For me, I loved the idea of WIP in the agile system we adapted at one workplace:
Instead of one thing, we would allow up to two WIP projects per person, but there was a priority and a follow-up.
I still do this day to day with Trello.
I have a "Doing" column and what's on top is what I'm doing. Besides procrastination, I don't allow myself to do anything else until that's done. Sometimes I add a checklist inside that Trello card if it's a more complex task, then check off tasks one by one.
The second card can be worked on if absolutely necessary (like lining up a meeting or working on some background that's required a month beforehand).
- layer8 3y agoBesides procrastination??? Isn’t procrastination the most difficult issue? ;)
- geerlingguy 3y agoHaha yes... but I've learned just to live with it. I don't know why, but I kinda have to devote 20-40% of my week to procrastination. Otherwise I would have no karma on HN!
- roeles 3y agoOne very effective procrastination avoidance technique I recently came across was giving yourself a simple choice: do the next thing on your list or do absolutely nothing until you feel good enough to do that task. Seems to work wonders.
