Productivity - Coggle Diagram

- - - - If we write stuff on external resource, we are clearing our minds from rehearsal loop, - repeating same idea to remember to do it.
    - - Note the things you need to do on external resource
        
        Examples
        
        Writing things that needs to be done in notepad
        
        Using To-Do app
        
        Writing To-Do cards
      - Use the environment itself to keep track of what needs to be done
        
        Techniques
        
        Keep in mind working memory - it holds about 4-5 items. In one category there can be only that many items. But we can make hierarchical categories
        
        Examples
        
        Put the house keys near door to outside, that way they will always been seen
        
        If tomorrow is going to rain, put umbrella near door to remember to take it
    - - One of the most important thing - make categories. By making categories ,we make use of default way our brains store information - categorizing and associating information
      - Don't make big categories and find balance between category hierarchy and category size
        
        Working memory can hold only 4-5 items
  - - - Why?
        
        People cannot multitask. They switch between tasks really quickly
        
        Every task switch requires considerable finite neural resources
        
        Repeated task switching causes anxiety and stress. Stress raises cortison levels in brain, that might lead to bad impulsive decisions
        
        If we try to learn something while we multitask, (watch TV while studying), we don't learn as well
