I’m a bit like Bender. I can only do 1 thing in a day, big or small. So an easy meeting that takes an hour uses up my day just as much as a 10 hour heavy lift writing an essay. So I’m most productive when I have a series of day-sized things to do.
Did 8 things so far today, considering doing 2 more things to hit double digits
5 intended things, 3 sucked-in things via “well I’m already doing X, might as well do X+, and X++”
It’s a log-level decathalon
