Spinning Out

Whenever I find my brain spinning out over the complexity of a high priority task, I go to my to-do list and do the easiest next thing.

Progress on a low priority thing is better than no progress on a high priority thing.

(It’s also a sign that my high priority task is more like a small project and probably should be broken into a bunch of smaller easier tasks.)

Yours,

—J
