Stop trying to perfectly control your time and complete every task on your to-do list. Embracing your human limitations and accepting imperfection is the true secret to getting meaningful things done.
Treat your reading materials and task lists as a continuous river to dip into rather than a bucket you must empty.
Focus on completing small and imperfect actions today instead of endlessly planning for a flawless future.
Relieve the pressure of rigid habits by aiming to do them dailyish rather than demanding unbroken daily streaks.
