I’m often asked “how I handle it all,” and — while I think the true answer may have something to do with several deep flaws in my fundamental personality, I do think I have a framework that helps me get a good amount of stuff done.
I tend to manage too many projects at once pretty much all of the time — which is actually probably not very good for my mental health nor my overall effectiveness.
Still, I’ve developed some systems that enable me to keep things moving along.
The biggest update from my previous soliloquy on productivity is the introduction of “daily buckets.”
I organize my projects into three categories:
Every day, I pick one project from each category to move forward. This has been the biggest win for me, and I hope it’s helpful for someone else.
