Title: Analysis Paralysis
Post by: ciao_yall on February 21, 2020, 08:45:11 AM
Need to bring this thread back from the old fora.



Octoprof taught me the Pomodoro method.  You set a timer. Work for 25 minutes, break for 5 minutes, and continue on/off until done.

If I don't know where to start, I look at the clock. The last number tells me which item to do for 25 minutes. So at 10:21 I would work on taxes and keep doing that until whenever.

But first, breakfast and shower.

Okay. Progress is happening.

Glad to see you're productive!

But, yeah, you might want to ask the mods to merge the two threads.

(I think you might have the title backwards, so it didn't turn up when you searched for it, perhaps...)
