I Fell In Love With This Productivity Hack

It changed my life for the better.

Something amazing is happening to me these last few days. I get so much done! This productivity streak has never happened before, and I think I know why it’s happening now.

In the past, I used to fail in tasks because they always seemed enormous and unattainable.

I would start a project, thinking about everything there was to do and abandon it at some point, overwhelmed.

I was always in a rush to do more and more, always be in the creative mindset that makes things. How was I to break out of this vicious maze? Searching for the exit just seemed like too much of a hassle.

I was tired, fatigued, sleep-deprived, and generally hated my life.

So I gave up.

Not just one or two projects. I gave up on all of it. I wanted to be free.

But we’re never free.

I definitely had less on my mind and was sleeping a little bit better at night. After a long-needed rest of a few days, I decided to start doing things differently.

Instead of doing things in big chunks, I decided to adopt mini-tasks, and I absolutely love it!
