  • “Zombie Mode” is what I call the state of being when I do not want to think and just want to be told what to do next. I have two collections to use when I am in this state -- one for workdays and one for non-workdays. They both contain lists of tasks to be completed for the day, in order, until I snap out of Zombie Mode or the day ends.
  • I came up with a simple time management system that has greatly helped boost my productivity called the 1-2-3-4 System. ... Construct a Daily Log with four signifier columns. The first column is used to mark quick or easy tasks (group 1). The second column is used to mark cleaning or tidying tasks (group 2). The third column is used to mark lengthy or difficult tasks (group 3). The fourth column is used to mark fun or relaxing tasks (group 4). For all tasks you rapid log, put a mark into one and only one of these four columns (I use a checkmark). The process is to pick one task from each group for a total of four tasks. Do these four tasks in order (Do a group 1 task, then do a group 2 task, then do a group 3 task, then do a group 4 task). When you are working on this “chain” of tasks, try not to stop until you have finished all four.
