A Tip For Starting Your To-Do List

from Daily Tips That May or May Not Help You · host Arielle Nissenblatt & Ned Donovan

When getting started feels impossible because too many projects are piling up, try shrinking the commitment to two minutes and begin anyway. This tip speaks to procrastination, task initiation, and context switching at work, especially when a long to-do list makes every choice feel like the wrong one. Arielle Nissenblatt shares a Threads find from @isaiah.brownstein: trade “two hours” for “two minutes,” then see what happens. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala.
