#2 – Learn to stop

What this does for me is to give me a better sense of direction the next time I pick the work up for, hopefully, a final review. This truly works for me. However, it also means that may times, I spend a whole day doing only one task. By the end of the week, I may have only done three substantial activities, all with so much effort and time. Do you see how inefficient this is?

Not only is my hard work very “unsmart”, it is 100% a new style of procrastination. This time, though, it feels less like it.
