“Reduce options. Increase focus. Multiply results.”
If any task takes less than 2 minutes, it is wiser to complete it immediately rather than putting it off for later. (From the book Getting Things Done by David Allen)

My Experiences
Updating apps on the smartphone, checking new emails every half hour, etc. fuel our fake productivity. These are just a few of the many ways I procrastinate.
Recommendations
If I could offer just one recommendation for optimizing your system of habits—both to form good ones and break bad ones—it would be the book Atomic Habits by James Clear.
