Tricyclic Simplificatory Productivity Tip of the Day

As both a newbie to secular Buddhism- which I think of as “dharmism” more than anything else- as well as a “productivity pr0n” addict and chronic multitasker, I can very much appreciate this little item from Tricycle’s Daily Dharma:

Too often we mistakenly believe that doing less makes us lazy and results in a lack of productivity. Instead, doing less helps us savor what we do accomplish. We learn to do less of what is extraneous and engage in fewer self-defeating behaviors, so we craft a productive life that we truly feel good about.

- Marc Lesser, Do Less, Accomplish More

We really only have one intact “attention” per person, and the more we fracture it, the less we accomplish.
