Constant multitasking
Multitasking is a proven method for getting little done. It wastes time by slowing your progress down on every individual task.
- On your computer, fill every pixel of space with as many windows and tabs, all related to different tasks. Then switch between those tabs and tasks as often as possible.
- Use notifications to pull you away from your focus. Use it on as many applications and services as possible.
Focusing on one task may make you actually complete it. It might give you the momentum to accomplishing another task. This can be avoided by multitasking.
