"Learn to sit back!": recipe performance from the author of ReWork Bashny.Net

Best-selling co-author of ReWork and Remote, co-founder of 37signals David Heinemeier Hansson in his blog shares his paradoxical advice from my own experience.

A lot done this week? I am glad for you. But what you had to do? If you think this job next month?

Will this work to have value next year? Haven't you learned something that will help you tomorrow?





High productivity means nothing if what you are doing, you can't truly important. It is much better to do — and do well — some of the most important things than to study the list of banal and ridiculous tasks a mile long.

But in a situation when we are called to rejoice in the lack of unread emails in mail and similar things, the difference between important and unimportant hard to see. What about those things that are not tied to specific emails, or to specific items in your to-do list? Very easy to fool yourself and convince yourself that you have everything tip-top, if all the apps show you that you have no unfinished tasks.

Sometimes even it is necessary to spend time in vain, you will be able to spend it better. If you are constantly busy-busy-busy in your head there remains a space for reflection about where each step will lead you. Run very fast there is no point, if you run to the concrete wall.

Therefore, it is necessary to allocate the time that you spend unproductive. For some time, to do considerably less. then you will be able to understand what a bunch of nonsense that constantly seizes your attention and time, you don't need to perform.

Let these tasks fail to run and you will see that they will likely not matter. Very few things are really important.
