Focus On The App Within

There are a ton of task management apps out there. I’d go as far as to say there are too many for the person who wants to use one because they wind up spending a ton of time exploring their options instead of really getting familiar with one and sticking with it. I’ve used many of these apps, and I still do experiment with them because that’s part of the work that I do.

But it’s not all of the work that I do.

Why You Need to Be Ahead of Yourself (And How Far Is Too Far)

Personal productivity rarely starts with a clear mind. It usually starts with a full one. We have so much to do that we can’t possibly be at our best. So we rush in. Like a driver who’s only focused on the destination — not the road. Rushing in is rarely the best course of action.
