The Origin of Elisi
In 2016, as mobile internet apps increasingly dominated our lives, many sought efficiency through various digital tools. This pursuit often led to a dependency on apps and information, where a sense of achievement was tied to notifications and data storage. However, mastering an app, even a sophisticated one like OmniFocus for GTD or Roam Research for note-taking, doesn't always equate to effective use; sometimes, these tools are more playthings than productivity aids.
Obsession with new tools and methods can be counterproductive, akin to perpetually sharpening a knife without cutting any wood. The fallacy that downloading an app can induce change is common. Continuously acquiring new planners, efficiency software, and time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique or the Lyubichev method often leads to a cluttered life, lacking a coherent plan from a goal-oriented perspective.
In today's world, experiencing stable and steady growth can seem elusive.
What Do We Need?
Instead of an overflowing to-do list, we might need to find purpose in accomplishing tasks, transitioning from a task-centric to a goal-centric mindset. This shift can be more effective than a relentless focus on tasks. A task is like a zero; without a preceding 'one' of a goal, it lacks value.
