The one productivity hack that really works!
The act of making a list is like organising the cluttered cupboard of your mind. Minus the backbreaking effort.

“I don’t know if you do yoga or stretching but this was the best way that I could think of to explain it…
You know when you do any challenging stretch and the part of your body being stretched protests…it basically hurts?
And when it hurts, you automatically hold your breath and tense up. Your entire body tenses up in sympathy for the pain that the afflicted muscle is struggling with.
And then your yoga teacher (or common sense) will tell you…relax into the stretch.
Breathe out.
Relax all those tense muscles.
Instead of pulling away from the pain, lean into it.
And magically, the pain lessens.
It actually flirts with pleasure occasionally!
Uncertainty is like that!
But what’s interesting is that I’ve found my struggle with indiscipline escalated massively over the lockdown when the number of things on my plate scaled exponentially.
Between working from home & working for the home, I found myself in full-scale rebellion-mode – actively shying away from doing what needed to be done & binging on what I wanted to do – napping at inappropriate times & then pacing like an insomniac at night…completing things in a screaming panic seconds before the deadline…missing my workouts…eating junk like it was going out of fashion…
Should I go on?
