Finishing an old job in 10 minutes?


 

I've been getting a lot of satisfaction from writing blog posts, and some other bits of writing, in 10 minutes flat. But can I apply the same strategy to finishing old jobs off?

I have loads of things I've started and parked until I have time to finish them off properly. What if I could get them done in 10 minutes?

With what I have learned from writing new pieces in 10 minutes I think the trick is to focus on first getting the job in a state where finishing it is possible, and then giving it total concentration until its done. But I need a get out clause here. Some things simply can't be done in ten minutes. So one acceptable outcome is - this is going to take longer than it is worth. Drop it now forever. Another is, this is worth spending more time on. In either case I need to get to the stage of actually dropping it - i.e., delete previous work and forget forever. Or I need to leave it so I can get closer to a ten minute finish than before.

“Nothing will ever please you if you start looking for what you have lost.”  — Seneca Seneca wrote extensively about time’s true value, arguing that we aren’t given a short life—we waste the life we’re given. His insights in “On the Shortness of Life” read like a diagnosis of our contemporary condition, where the average person spends several hours daily fragmenting their attention across multiple platforms. Research reveals that media multitasking interferes with attention and working memory, negatively affecting academic performance, recall, and reading comprehension. Seneca would recognise this as the natural consequence of what he called vita occupata—the occupied life that mistakes motion for progress.

Speeding Up My Blogging Using A Really Scary App

I like to linger on my writing. I enjoy leaving it, coming back to it, and editing it. Then re-editing it. The less pressing the writing is, the more leisurely my approach. The writing that is least important to me, and judging by my stats to everyone else as well, is my blogging. As a consequence, I produce very few blog posts, and what I do produce often stays in draft form for quite a long time. Often indefinitely.
