Tell HN: Done in 15 Minutes (Journal)
I'm a huge fan of timeboxing. Whenever I notice that I don't make a lot of progress, either by procrastinating or something else, I'm falling back to time-boxing my tasks. While ideally I'd love to get everything done in 15 minutes, sometimes things take longer. But what I noticed is that stepping back usually helps you to accelerate. If something takes longer than 15 minutes, I do at least one other task in between, before I resume work on that particular task.
Sometimes I also squeeze more than one thing into 15 minutes. In this case I'm starting my first 15 minutes block of the day writing this post, but also assembling a task list for the day.
I will also try to keep posting my tasks here, but I might sometimes not do it for a few days. Let's see how it goes.
Ok, only 6 minutes left for this one; let's see how things will go.
