Shortform #107 So much to build, do, and create...so little time in a day!
I have moved from “wanting to do things” to simply doing things and getting a lot done each day. This feels fucking fantastic, I love turning my attention to X things and plowing through them! Scheduling and time block planning are helping quite a bit, but I’m still looking for room to optimize my workflows & cut out time sinks.
Here’s what I’m thinking of:
either pay out of pocket for laundry wash & fold delivery service once I obtain a job upgrade this month or next month—or if I receive funding for rationalist organizing, include that as one of my expense line items (purpose: significant time savings) because I don’t have in-unity laundry at my apartment and honestly dealing with the building laundry is awful and doing laundry at a laundromat is even more awful. Both options are massive time wasters compared to outsourcing my laundry needs.
Prepare a week’s worth of meals every Saturday or Sunday and purchase fresh fruits & vegetables once per week from Aldi: purpose is to cook in batches so that I box-in the time commitments required for cooking into one longer session and don’t have to do cook much or at all during the week.
Determine concrete monthly goals and pursue those to the exclusion of other goals, rotate goals in and out as needed on a monthly or other time period basis. This reduces scatteredness and gives me easier-to-pick-up-and-do items I can schedule into my todo list or calendar.
Obtain bicycle: I enjoy walking to work, but cycling to work and back would save me about 20 minutes per day which adds up quickly if you calculate that on a per week basis.
Do you have any suggestions for time optimization & task, goal, or project execution efficiency improvements? What helps you 2-10X or more your productivity on the things you care about accomplishing?
