Understanding Flexible Task Management

Managing a long list of flexible tasks can be overwhelming, often leading to frustration and procrastination. It’s common to feel pressured to complete all tasks, treating them with equal urgency, but not every task holds the same weight. An effective strategy is to categorize tasks based on context, prioritizing where and when each task can be completed. This method reduces the feeling of being burdened by an endless list and instead promotes a more manageable approach to task completion.
