Something I’ve done since starting my business is keeping a list of “low-friction”, quick tasks to do.
I head in a workshop from someone that keeping a list of quick-wins helps them when they aren’t in the mood to focus, or struggling to get into the work.
Look at the quick-win list, tick something off and begin building the momentum.
I took it as inspiration, tried it out and actually quite liked it.
I use it when I’m struggling to focus and need a quick win.
I use it when I have a little bit of time between meetings, or commitments.
I use it when I’m at the start of a bigger work session to get going.
I use it when procrastinating and am putting of a bigger task - like quickly writing this post instead of doing the bigger project I should be progressing :)
Currently on my “quick-wins” list are:
Book a coffee with Raul
Ring Jake
Brainstorm ideas for Project 5958
Write a blog post idea
Clear emails (recurring and always better after doing it)
And others…
See if it’s useful…
Not sure if this is a diary entry or a blog post, but we’re sticking with the theme of making myself uncomfortable
