Nice idea, but to me that's not the real problem. My main problem is not about doing something once I decided I want to do it (on that part I'm quite ok, far from perfect, but ok), but about choosing what to do.
There are so many things I want to do, and so few time, that it's very common to me to "freeze" on a typical sunday morning, when I've the whole day to do something, but have to decide what to do. I often switch from one task to another not finishing any, or spend lots of time choosing what to do, or just decide to go with something fast so it doesn't prevent me from doing something else later on the day (and I end up not doing much of the "big" tasks). It happens both in my "hobby time", and, to lesser extends since the options are more limited and the deadlines stronger, in my work.
Does anyone have a similar problem ? And have tips on to overcome that problem ?
Make differently coloured bands corresponding to each task. you're only allowed to work on the task if you're wearing the correctly coloured band. The bands are placed far away from where you do the tasks or in a box with a complicated lock or something like that. You chose which band to wear first using dice.
I went to a preschool that used this method!
That's odd, I just made it up on the spot.
Well, they mostly did it as activity-rationing. You had to have a certain wrist band on to go outside, and every so often you had to change wristbands, that sort of thing. So different purpose, similar system.
This reminds me of Jerry's Map.
While I was hoping for something Seinfeld related and hilarious, that was still interesting.
Wait, that can happen?
