Focus on three things a day

Original Jeff Atwood

I used to express myself in a blog post about the disillusionment of using the to-do list to manage to-dos.

Today, let's try something simple-a little experiment. What do you use to track the things you need to do? lift it up. Let me see. Do as I tell you.

I'm serious!

No, not yet, you'll have to come a little closer. The display is near here.

Let me take a look.

Give me some time, let me have a good look.

Now, imagine this: I slap you in the face and fly this thing in your hand!

I just want to throw my point. And didn't want to smash your name. So. You can pretend I knocked that thing down on the fluffy rug, not the stiff concrete floor.

Although I really want to do that.

Whatever that thing is, it's like a crutch. You don't need it!

(Since you are a normal person.) For you, that thing does more harm than benefit. Throw It away!

You should ask yourself this question: What are the three things I need to do today?

Every day, you should be able to answer this simple question immediately, in your lifetime, every day. Instead of using your innate brain, don't use any other tools.

If you do not have such a skill, then train it up.

Practice, start today. Immediately!

What are you doing now? In any way, does it help you to do one of the three things that are finished today? Do you act like this to reach the goal you need to achieve at the end of the day?

I'm not trying to make you self-encouragement, or change your habits. Just want to keep it simple. Focus on the important things, and add a little layer of consciousness.

All right. Two things are left. I did a pretty good job today!
