Overload Prevention Tactics

This is the third and final installment in the Procrastination Strategies series, because who needs more meetings?

Step 1: The 3-Second Rule

Any task that can be done in less than 3 seconds, do it in 3 seconds or less. This includes but is not limited to:

Checking your email
Checking your phone
Staring at the wall

Remember, the goal is to prevent burnout, not actually accomplish anything.

Step 2: The 30-Minute Time Sink

Identify the task that you're most likely to get sucked into and allocate 30 minutes to it. This will ensure you've made some progress, but not so much progress that you'll ever finish.
