Constraints

People often say that they want options. When it comes to getting things done, however, options aren’t always a good thing. When everything is a possibility, it actually becomes harder to make the right choice (or any choice at all). This is the paradox of choice. I could go into the whole free will bit but it might get tedious so let us stick to just fighting procrastination and inefficiency for now. Having too many choices can be hazardous to getting things done, especially if there are deadlines looming. Say you have a business application development project in the works and it is supposed to bring more efficiency to the business professional. There are so many different directions that you can go that they need to be narrowed down because you cannot possibly explore every single option. We sometimes need a tunnel that will get us more focus in the direction that we want to go. Limiting yourself can also eliminate the need to make the same decisions over and over again because making small decisions can actually drain your willpower. What if we apply this strategy to life as well?

  2. With all that is out there in terms of communication services and mobile applications, it is hard to not multitask. I guess like anything it takes practice and getting used to.
