The Overworked Millenial: Time Management Vs Attention Management
Kent Yoshimura-
Based on how well the discussion on time management vs attention management went, I decided to put together everyone's suggestions and create the very first, Everything Smarter blog post.
I feel spread thin a lot of the time - not because I have a stack of tasks staring me down but because I can't imagine completing them. When I typically take breaks from my Neuro-oriented by jumping into a creative task, my mind absolutely sucks at picking up momentum (purportedly known as switch cost), and my attention becomes shot. As such, the tasks feel even more daunting.
I've spent years trying to optimize my schedule and goal setting process to be able to accomplish the things I've set out to do. In that process, I realized that my issue wasn't dividing my time between my different tasks, but maintaining attention while doing the tasks. It seems many of us in Everything Smarter is an overworked millennial like myself who deal with similar issues of attention management...but it also seems that we have developed different techniques to successfully overcome that hurdle.
So without further ado, below is a compilation of tips and tricks from our Everything Smarter discussion on time management vs attention management.

By changing your phone screen to grayscale, you drastically reduce the visual appeal of your phone (or at least snapchat and Instagram). It may not completely eliminate your habit, but it will certainly be a step in the right direction.
