“Our brains are wired to focus on the short term versus the long term,” explains high-performance coach Shefali Rain a. “So mini-sprints help us get focused, energetic, and motivated to complete shorter-term tasks and feel good afterward.”
Keep that in mind whenever you perceive a task as too big too long, overwhelming, or tedious. Instead of forcing yourself to get into the zone, break these tasks down into min-sprints or shorter blocks of time .
How you go about this is ultimately up to you. For me, I’m all about eating an elephant one bite at a time.
