A friend of mine was working in a lab, writing his thesis with 4 people who were either professors or doctors in electronics. He asked once - what is the most important thing you did for your success.

They all discussed it and agreed on this rule:

If you have 10 things to do, and you do them all in parallel, you will be done slower with ALL of them, than if you do them one after the other.

That's the biggest productivity hack - do things one after the other, and not all at once.



this should be at the top of the comments.
