When you only had a small list of tasks, it was easy to make improvements. You took your productivity in this area seriously and made some good changes, expecting to continue in the same vein indefinitely.

You are a productivity enthusiast who wants to experience one improvement after another. This kind of progress is sweet. Like dominoes falling. Or climbing from one level to the next in a challenging video game.
But once you know the problem you want to fix, it's hard to find simple solutions. The proof? Just check out someone asking for help in an open forum like Reddit.
Someone posts a question, and wants a simple answer they can actually use. What do they get back? A ton of answers. There is no way to make sense of the flood of opinions...some of them openly contradict each other.

Well...our job in this episode is to ask the question "Why aren't simple task management solutions easier to find?"

Rapid Assessment Building Block Part 2 - #2 Why the Best Indicators of Improvement Aren’t Necessarily Positive. Most people use defects to determine if they need to make a change to the way they manage their tasks. With few exceptions. https://medium.com/2time-labs/part-2-why-the-best-indicators-of-improvement-arent-necessarily-positive-b5b915d1fb13

COVID disrupted many of our regular routines, some of which have not recovered. In particular, if you work from home, you may notice that seeing the same people every day and working in the same space is quite convenient. But it’s also predictable - in the bad way. Many of us have lost a certain thrill that comes from being in close proximity to others and the surprises which go with it. They don’t invite us out as often, and we don’t meet up as frequently…outside of Zoom.

In a way, we don’t have as many new things to look forward to. Not surprisingly, this has an impact on our daily happiness. Having something – anything – to look forward to has an impact on our happiness.

Is there a sustainable solution to this dilemma?
