I was about to mark-as-read and move on until I stopped and reread this takeaway from David Sparks:
I’m not saying throw out your task manager. But I’ve started asking myself a different question when I plan my week. Instead of “how much can I get done?”, I’m asking “what deserves slow work this week?” Usually, it’s one thing. And giving that one thing the bonsai treatment, patient attention without rushing to a result, has made the work better.
Striking, isn’t it? When I ask myself that question, one thing does immediately spring to mind. Great framing that I’m going to continue to use.
