Focus on Inputs, Not Just Outputs

The myth of to-do lists magically making tasks happen is debunked. Without allocating specific time to tasks on the calendar, they are unlikely to be accomplished. It is crucial to differentiate between outputs and inputs in planning. While many focus on the desired output, like 'get organized,' it is more effective to schedule time for specific input tasks, such as 'organize bag for one hour.' By dedicating time to input tasks rather than only focusing on the outcomes, individuals can build momentum and increase productivity.
