There are days in which I invest hours of my time into one goal or task, and despite spending hours on it, I am unable to cross it off my to-do list because it has not been completed. These are the days where I find myself overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, this is because I measure my productivity based on the number of tasks I complete in a day.
However, Barbara Oakley’s “Learning to Learn” course has educated me on the value of the process to complete a task. The product does not show whether I spend 3 hours working on it, or 30 minutes. Therefore, I am utilising Google Calendar, to keep track of my efforts to complete something instead of using a to-do list to keep a record of my day.
