考试真题

In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne- Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities — from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga — by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under "clock time" vs "task time"

But after I moved to Tokyo and lived there for a number of years, I got used to having a pile of to-do lists.

It doesn't mean that my to-do lists no longer exist, but I've become more aware of the importance of slowing down and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I carry them out.

Another approach to getting more done in less time is to rethink how you prioritize your day—in particular how we craft our to-do lists.

Harford argues that inevitable distractions often render the daily to-do list ineffective, while leaving room for improvisation in such a list can reap the best results.

Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you'll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind.
