Master Distractions and Accept Limitations

Eliminate distractions by turning off your phone to maintain focus on your tasks, particularly in environments like the gym where such distractions can hinder productivity. Acknowledge that your future self may struggle with decision-making due to fatigue, and design strategies to combat this tendency. Accepting that there will always be more work than can realistically be accomplished alleviates the pressure of trying to achieve inbox zero or complete a to-do list. Set intentional deadlines to balance work with other aspects of life, recognizing that work will continuously replenish, and be prepared for days requiring intense effort, even if they are not the norm.
