Ep. 276: Lazy or Disorganized?
Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Autopilot Systems for Recurring Tasks
✨Key takeaways:
- Automate recurring tasks to reduce cognitive load.
- Establish fixed times and processes for these tasks.
Create autopilot systems for work you do regularly by determining when, where, and how to execute it. This minimizes its impact on your mental capacity by removing the need for in-the-moment decisions. Example: Schedule recurring home chores like laundry on specific days. Add larger tasks to your calendar, like gutter cleaning in spring and fall. Even shopping for gifts can become automatic by assigning it to a specific weekend after Thanksgiving.
