I have a technique for some of my productivity which leverages that rather than fights against human nature. Excellent point indeed!

it seems to be how our nonconscious mind is motivated.
I have a technique for some of my productivity which leverages that rather than fights against human nature.

Excellent point indeed!

I often feel that I have ADD until crunch time when suddenly I become completely focused and get the job done at the last possible second. I'm not proud of that, I hate that I always do that to myself, but its just what I do and I can't seem to change it.

I have caught myself staring at the computer screen a few times in the last week. I've identified the cause as 1) taking on too many new things all simultaneously 2) not prioritising correctly 3) not taking into account that my lack of experience means a three minute task turns into three hours most of the time The "pressure" is best delt with in small steps. If I attempt to big a step then I feel stuck - a sign a smaller step is needed. By breaking tasks down this way I can accomplish stuff. Whether it is useful I have found is another thing altogether.... Keri Eagan <a href="http://www.kerieagan.org" rel="nofollow">Alternative*Insight</a> Under pressure the key is having direction. I have caught myself staring at the computer screen a few times in the last week. I’ve identified the cause as

1) taking on too many new things all simultaneously
2) not prioritising correctly
3) not taking into account that my lack of experience means a three minute task turns into three hours most of the time

The “pressure” is best delt with in small steps. If I attempt to big a step then I feel stuck – a sign a smaller step is needed. By breaking tasks down this way I can accomplish stuff. Whether it is useful I have found is another thing altogether….

Either way, my advice is to take the next smallest step towards getting done what need to be done. Then acknowledge you're a step closer and take the next smallest step etc etc in quick succession.
