Prioritization is the communism of attention management 😖 Do or do not. There is no priority. Once you make a list of things that need doing, and prioritize them according to any metric at all, you can guarantee you will want to do something that’s not in the list at all.

I have never once in my life actually worked down and through a prioritized list, though I’ve often made them.

This tweet is true, but the dark side is that there are days I fall into the prioritization trap and do zero things instead of 1 thing.

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.

Some days I do end up doing multiple things, but only when I’m being driven by other people’s priorities. And then it wipes me out. Left to my own devices I’m on the 1 thing/day plan.

Damn what a week. I did more than one thing per day on at least 3 days. How the hell do you guys do this all the time.
