Productivity tip #18 seems to be opposite my #16 productivity tip. It is to focus only on today.
Just when I said to focus on putting one foot in front of the other to get some stuff done, here I’m going to tell you to totally ignore the future and act reactively to everything.
Don’t worry about what you’ll be doing next month or next year, just worry about this exact moment and how you feel.
You want to mess around and not get work done, do that. Don’t worry about work or paying those bills, that’s thinking about the future and thinking about the future is not something productive people do.
We wait until we feel like working before getting started. It feels better at the moment and the way you feel later isn’t something er should be bothered with thinking about.
