It’s easy to try and take on too much. But what can you really get done in a day?
I was recently introduced to the 1-3-5 system of productivity. Each day, you can handle one big thing, three medium things, and five small things.
Do I think this will work for me? Who knows.
But I don think having a system is important. I’m always looking for the one that will let me tame my heinous stack of paperwork, inbox, and random to-dos that seem to accumulate faster than I can even check one off.
Still. Some of us are prone to taking on too much. And it’s important to acknowledge that, and make space for yourself to recover.
