- Reading books about completing tasks
- Waiting until tomorrow to start fresh (on another book)

But what if the task is so cripplingly boring that it's almost physically painful?
That's where headphones and audiobooks/podcasts come in.
And dont start 50 new tasks a day
Unfair
How dare you
Nyehhh
Not if you then have to anxiously wait for someone to complain about how you did it!
You would think that, but then afterwards, I just add more tasks, because there’s always something to do. The tasks never end, and therefore, my stress doesn’t either.
This works surprisingly well.
No. Because then there will be more tasks.
And now you are tired.
