It turns your long to-do list into the few tasks that actually move the needle in your life :)

Something that stands out here for me is just the challenge of committing. With so many choices, it’s hard to just pick an option and commit to it. Sometimes choosing and committing to anything is better than continuing to groom my lists and thinking about what I should be focusing on next.

This is a recent Happiness Lab episode that I think is a great companion to this article:

Hi Manuel, would you like to say more about your situation and why the post didn’t apply?

It is enough for you to know that in order to accomplish your tasks efficiently and effectively, you need nothing more than to know:

The amount of time you will devote to completing the work.
The time when you are at your best in mood, motivation, and level
The right energy to get what needs to be done and done.

I work with many clients in my working routine. I too feel overwhelmed at work because of many tasks. But I have project management tools which provide productivity in my business which makes the task schedule and reminders on the go.

If my list is too long I may not get anything done but if it’s short I can accomplish it all and then add more to it. Excellent point made here about having to do lists. And if we have too many choices like you mentioned in a restaurant or a store we may not make any choice at all.
