When you start working in the morning, here is how the series of events must look like:
- Most important work. That moves the needle.
- Responding to emails/messages that need your response.
- Management tasks—deleting emails, organising folders, scrolling social—come last.
Your mind will trick you into making the third one most important, the second one important, and then fill you with self-doubt when you don’t do 1.
Protect yourself from your mind. At all times.
