"Dad, want tea!"
Like a good obedient dad, I go to the kitchen and put on the kettle.
First I have to wash his bottle. But there's a dirty dish in the way.
So I turn to scrape it into the bin. But the bin is full.
So I start to take it outside. But I need shoes.
So I go back to the room. But he needs to be changed.
So I start to change him...
"Dad, want tea!" And the cycle starts again.
I've come up with a term: Involuntary-ADD. When life has a thousand things for you to do, and you can't seem to make headway because you keep making the tiniest bit of progress on each one at a time, and never seem to clear your list.
How do you solve this?
There are some biohacking super-efficiency max hustle methods out there, like the Pareto principle, or The Eisenhower Matrix. Which work great when you can happily only sleep 4 hours a night and work in a closed office with no distractions and enjoy taking ice baths.
I'm more of a Winston Churchill fan. His top productivity tips include:
1 - Conserve Energy.
2 - Build a Solid Daily Routine.
3 - Keep Things Simple.
4 - Nap to restore energy levels.
I'm a big fan of number 4, but it is frowned upon in an office environment. But those other tips work wonders. For instance...
How to stay healthy and avoid I-ADD? Use The Daily Shake.
- Conserve energy by not having 20 different supplements to remember.
- Have a solid daily routine by having your shake every morning with your coffee or breakfast.
- Keep things simple by just having one supplement.
This applies especially during December when most routines go out the window and we have to start from scratch in Jan. Maybe just increase the naps!
