A method to improve efficiency I learnt about recently
It sounded like it was designed just for me
The suggestion was to create a 2X2 table and classify
All tasks into four categories in an effort to simplify
The never-ending to-do list where each task appears to be
Equivalent in terms of its urgency
*
The two columns were unattractive and attractive
And the two rows productive and unproductive
The first box comprises productive but unattractive tasks that are important but not fun
The second box combining productive with attractive tasks is the best one
The third box consists of unproductive and unattractive things to do
That need to be pared down to just a few
The fourth box contains the dangerous category
Of tasks that are unproductive but attractive to me
Like scrolling through social media and watching short-form videos on repeat
The activities in this box are the ones I need to delete
*
I should make a list of things to do in this fashion
The second box is wherein lie all my passions
The first box the call of duty signifies
Completing those tasks feels like a chore but my responsible self satisfies
From the shackles of unpalatable tasks in box number three
I should try as much as I can to set myself free
The fourth box is a reminder of things I should forget about
Completing attractive but unproductive tasks is an exercise in futility, without doubt
*
To improve my efficiency I would welcome any trick
This method is one that I think would click
