(10+2)*5

2005-10-21

43 Folders has a nice procrastination hack: “(10+2)*5”. This might be a good start for my "use the time better" thingie.

Here'S a short summary of the process:

• work for 10 minutes
• take a break of 2 minutes
• repeat 5 times

Notes: task doesn't need to be completed in 10 minutes. After the break, do something different.

The challenge to apply something like this to my situation is to make it flexible. I never know when the next interruption/break might occur (as they are external). Most GTD and similar approaches seem centered around "self-management". What if that control over the time and the interruptions is not possible?
