ZERO BURN-OUT
The Shape & Color System
Categorize tasks by shape and sub-tasks by color—like a circle for housework with yellow for washing windows—so you can easily pick easy tasks when your energy is low.
Role play
Create a persona, role play that person to do chores and any other task. Put a playlist related to the theme of the environment you want. It makes doing otherwise boring tasks fun.
Closing shift
Reset your place as if you were closing a store every night
EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION
The '20-Hour Rule'
When you’re dreading a task, remind yourself that 'by this time, it will be over anyway' to lower the mental pressure of starting.
The 'Object Double' Hack
Use a specific object, like a watch or a small plant, that stays on your desk only while you work to signal your brain it’s time to focus.
Task hopping
You don’t have to finish a task before starting another. Just let yourself hop from one task to another as much as you please, until everything is done.
Time yourself
Make a challenge out of a task. Put on your favourite music album and challenge yourself to finish your task before the end of the album. You can use music to time your time blindness in the shower (Finish showering in… 3 songs !)
