Deep dives
Setting low expectations for daily tasks
It may sound counterintuitive, but having low expectations for what you achieve in a day can actually be a good thing. Starting a day with a long to-do list often leads to overwhelm and inaction. Creating a pathetically small, yet consistent, standard for what you want to accomplish can help you avoid overwhelm and maintain progress over time. Consistency and regularity are key factors in staying productive and avoiding a massive workload.
