Thanks for the article. It makes me feel less crazy for having an intricate productivity system in place. It seems to me that either people I know have much less difficulty being productive than me, or I am overestimating their productivity,
I have been using GTD and pomos on and off with some success. I do 32⁄8 pomos but I have a tendency to multitask, I need to work on that. I think co-working might help, I do online co-working sometimes but it is not as effective.
I have the tendency to drop the habits in emotionally difficult periods when being productive is more difficult. Then I fall in a negative feedback loop of not being productive because I feel miserable, and feeling miserable and guilty for not being productive. But I am getting better at catching myself and recovering, so that I fall apart for a day or two instead of a week or two or more.
I had forgotten about timeboxing, I will be trying it again.
I have recently set up a reward system for pomos. I award myself marbles for completing pomos and other daily sub-goals, and purchase rewards with the marbles. I’ve just started, I’ll have to test for longer to say whether it works.
