'In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few'
It took me years to break out of rigid thought processes and patterns and get out of my comfort zone. If I feel like I'm leaning into rigid thinking, I deliberately break out of that.
That could be anything from learning a new programming language, or trying out a new Linux distro (I have learned a lot just by trying out different distros).
In terms of TODOs, I batch tasks into 'marathons' and 'sprints'. If something is going to need small iterative steps spanning a whole year, then I organize my TODO to suit that. If something needs speed and sprinting, again, I organize my life around that. Too many are doing sprints for what should be a marathon, and doing marathons for what should be sprints.
