Our sense of being productive usually comes from measuring quantity or quality of a task.
That doesn’t always help, though.
Here’s a better approach: train your mind to equatestartinga task with feeling productive.
Redditor theNicky explains the idea:
take a stab at re-train your sense of success to come from starting.
Don’t worry at all about how much time you put in.
Don’t set any expectations.
If you start and stop, no worries.
Take a break and try starting again.
I use a similar approach to my work, after having learned lessons the hard way.
Over the past few months, I changed my approach to"Just start, that’s good enough.
So think of the act of starting as the measurement of being productive.
