That's my productivity threshold. Completing three tasks as early as possible is what gives me the forward momentum to lead a productive day. The days when I ignore my alarm, sleep in and start the day in front of the computer are the days I am least likely to get anything done because of the failure to reach that threshold in a timely fashion.

That's what I've discovered from my current system so far. Still making adjustments and having a hard time with the whole morning routine thing, but that's what I've figured out as a trend. I also note that today is turning out to be productive indeed.

    I remember the thread you started not long ago about this topic. I try and keep that in mind since it's a good goal to keep a person motivated. Mornings are indeed the worst though, especially when it's cold and rainy, which is what the weather is doing here now...and I'm bundled up in bed. The most productive thing I did today was write a letter and make breakfast.

    Yeah, it's very much a work in progress. I think the fact that I grew up mostly unsupervised and with little discipline beyond behavior really stunted my ability to prioritize and actually do what needs to be done. I used to do my homework on the bus on the way to school in the mornings as far back as elementary school. =/ Even now it's a constant battle between my natural tendency to conserve energy and my realistic needs for expending it.
