Every morning I spend 12 seconds making a ranked list of priorities for my day so that I can hyper focus on something else.

Had lists for 25 years, and they did help to a good degree, but still: Same.

But about 2 weeks ago, I think I really cracked the case! In those situations when it is "too much" to do an item from the list, I ALLOW myself to not do an item from the list, guilt-free, but I HAVE TO "simulate" the items briefly in my head.

More than 50 % of the time, that'll lead to the realisation that I'm totally up for doing one of those. Still not everything done, but jumped from maybe 3 out of 10 to 6 out of 10 for a typical weekend. And if I don't feel like it, I can enjoy my shows and other shenanigans guilt-free.

    Hey, just browsing the community and wondering if you're still doing this and if so how it's going? Seems like a good idea!

    Yes, still do it, and it still works! The pressure from having to do something when I don't feel like it is gone. Just the simulation is mandatory, and if none of the things appeal to me during the simulation, I'm off the hook, guilt-free.

    Still enough gets done that way.
