The Inefficiency Assassin. Helene Segura

       Highly hay

       Odds and ends

       Piddly stuff

      These are tasks that are

       boring or

       difficult or

       annoying or

       delayed because you won’t make a decision or

       avoided because they require untangling a mess

      and have been carried over on to-do lists each day because they’re not at the top of your priority list, but they still eventually need to get done. The blocked-off focus time allows you to chop through stuff you still don’t want to do, or perhaps even chop tasks from the list for good because you realize that you don’t really need to do them. More important, this time allows you to chop the weight from your subconscious that these un-done tasks add. Eventually, you might be able to cut it down to one CHOP hour per week instead of two half days per month.

      Whatever keeps you from reaching your goals today had better be important — it’s costing you a day of your life!
