The Imperfectionist: Reality Just Keeps Unfolding

I’m as productivity-obsessed as ever. What’s changed – and it’s a big change – is that I no longer take myself to be en route to some final state in which I’ll have discovered the best system, and can feel good about myself at last. Instead, I’m just trying things out. When I abandon one approach in favour of another, it’s not because the one I’m abandoning was a hoped-for silver bullet that proved to be another disappointment. It’s just because it’s time for something new in the ever-unfolding and (to me, anyway) endlessly juicy question of how I organise my time.
