The Done List Why Tracking Finishes Beats Tracking Starts

Lucas and Luna explore the 'Done List' — a simple productivity technique that flips the focus from what you start to what you actually finish. They cite a 2023 study from the Journal of Applied Psychology showing that tracking completions reduces end-of-day mental fatigue by 23%. Lucas shares how a product manager at a mid-sized software firm used a Done List to cut her weekly overtime from 10 hours to just 2, without reducing output. Luna offers a counterpoint from a creative director who tried it and found it anxiety-inducing at first. They discuss why the Done List works for some personalities and not others, and how to adapt it. The episode closes with a question about how listeners might test the method for one week. #DoneList #ProductivityHack #WorkLifeBalance #CareerBoundaries #TimeManagement #TaskCompletion #MentalFatigue #JournalOfAppliedPsychology #ProductManager #CreativeDirector #OvertimeReduction #FinishingMatters #ToDoListAlternative #CareerOverload #Boundaries #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
