Ask yourself ‘Does this move the needle’ while doing something

Instead of getting lost into exploring some idea that probably only improves your workflow, and takes 30mins, after you explored some other idea that took 30mins, maybe ask yourself “does this move the needle?”

Ask yourself, after I’m done doing this, will I still have to come back to reality and work on the actual work?

Maye asking yourself this will result in you prioritizing the actual work that needs doing.

And then you can finally have some time to yourself.
