I'm Nicholas, a Front-end Web developer that's been on that journey for more than a year now. I love coffee and learning new things, I blog here about anything that comes to my mind, but mainly coding
Do not have restrictive goals or rules while you try to increase productivity. You will stop following them if it's too hard.
I truly agree with you, that maybe was one of the reasons I stopped doing my to-do lists, I used to set up many goals that weren't even possible to do in one day and not even in a week, and that made me think I was the problem, but looking back at it, I reckon the problem was how far away the goals were when I stipulated the time limit.
Don't focus on only the numbers. Let things go organic.
I guess it also was a problem for me, with the example you gave of reading a book, I used to forget the real reason I was doing it, that was for learning, and not for completing goals.
I'm going to start small, by doing simple to-do lists and seeing what can I accomplish with them, and like I've said in the previous reply, I'm probably going to share the results in a post soon.
