Tangental but I noted this quote from 4HWW:
> Ask: if this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day? Don’t ever arrive at your computer without a clear list of priorities, you’ll just read unassociated email and scramble your brain for the day.
When I read that last bit ("scramble your brain") I had a profound sense of agreement that this was incredibly applicable to me. I feel like distractions 'poison' my vibe, productivity, priorities, and most importantly, distract that bit of my brain that ticks away in the background working on important creative stuff. When it's distracted with news, emails, or other junk, it's unavailable to work on creative/important problems that actually matter.
- user_7832 2y agoIs 4hww 4 hour work week, the book, that you’re referring to? It’s a good quote!
- postoplust 2y ago(not OP) Yes, the quoted strategy is from The 4-Hour Workweek (Ferriss 2007)
- nomilk 2y agoCan confirm :)
- Terr_ 2y ago> Don’t ever arrive at your computer without a clear list of priorities Sometimes I find it best best to stop my workday before entirely finishing a task: The next morning (or in some cases, the next Monday) there will be an obvious next-step to work on that which I'm already familiar with. In contrast, arriving without a clear next step can trigger some severe doldrums.
