There is no set of productivity techniques and time-saving "life-hacks" that will make you feel truly "on top" of life. You will never have [[Enough is Hard to Recognize|enough]] productivity. There will always be more you will _want_ to do. More you have could jam into your schedule. More things other people want you to do. The only way you could **possibly** feel sort of "on top" of stuff is to be so shut off from other people that you'll succumb to loneliness and depression. You have to learn to [[Love the Process]]. The day is not long enough to do everything you might _want_ to do. You should not end each day disappointed that you didn't get to your 501st task. Do a few things. Then relax. **Celebrate your wins**. [[The Perfect Day (Questions)|The perfect day]] is not spent constantly producing. > [!tldr] You're not "one simple trick" away from total life mastery. You must accept this. **** # More ## Source - [[sources/4000 Weeks]] ## Related - [[Parkinson's Law]] - [[Enough is Hard to Recognize]] - [[Hedonic Treadmill]] - [[Bad Things Happen]]
