General principles when thinking about #roles - Jason Yip - Medium

i am always perplexed if companies ask me for a detailed generic process upfront to fix their specific problems.

in my experience, even if problems are similar, solutions are always highly specific. the start (and the meta-process) may be generic but the process itself and its steps unfold while you are on it - at least if you aim at actually solving a problem and not just to make some money.

but this call for generic solutions is probably as hard to kill as the urge to buy tools as cure-all

I was feeling stuck on my to do list. Too long & overwhelming.

So I stopped tracking to dos & made a "To Done" google form where I log things I did & how long it took. The submission response text is: "YAY! YOU DID IT!"

I expected the event log of tasks completed to be useful for analyzing how I spend my time. I did *not* expect to be so motivated by seeing "YAY! YOU DID IT!" when I submit a new To Done. But I am. Massive productivity increase. Utterly ridiculous.

Whatever works?
