What I have started to do is to write a short to-do list at the start of each day. If I don't finish it that is fine but it helps me at least set up some tasks I need to do and get to them as quickly as I can.
However, one thing. Hard problems are FUN. Double for hard problems that have some bearing on current work, even if it isn't critically important to the immediate moment. So I think it is important to allow for a certain amount of productive distractions.
I would also add one more thing. These rabbit holes can be good for another reason when running a business: they keep you on your toes regarding to what you need to do to succeed and sometimes the solutions are important ones to pursue as a business strategy.
- sthatipamala 15y agoI totally agree. As a developer in my startup, my job involves cranking out code. But as a founder in my startup, I need maintain a giant reverse index of things that are happening in technology. These two goals can be conflicting at times.
- Mjux 15y agoAbsolutely agree with you on the task ahead. Sticky notes does the job when you can actually finish them on time or even complete. There is a complete discord on what we set out to achieve and what needed to be done - on the task. What do you think of trello and task based applications in this case?
