fascinating anecdote

my best productivity comes from dividing efforts piecemeal and then allotting an hour for each task

the relatable bit is that if the task takes me 15 or 40 or however many minutes to finish the rest of the hour is mine to do with whatever i want

i could go for a walk, make some tea, pick up a book

if the task is unfinished at the end of the hour, i move onto the next task and return to it at the next hour block

even though it creates my most productive circumstances, like you said, i still find i rarely 'force' myself to follow it
