Thanks for this. I haven’t read Burkeman’s article. Cal’s book, Deep Work, completely transformed my approach to my work when I ran a fund. We began to break the tasks into chunks and both productivity and enjoyment increased. Anyway, great collection of articles.

I find I need to keep reminding myself to break tasks down. I still write down big, hairy projects as a single to-do, and it induces procrastination. It’s a constant battle.
