Introduction

I could not really think of a topic to write about today, so I would like to write a short memo based on something I recently experienced and what I learned from it. I am not sure if it will be useful for everyone, but if you are interested, I would be happy if you read it.

Recently, I had a day with many tasks that required brainstorming. More specifically, they involved things like coming up with ideas, planning, and designing the structure of future work.

I had already organized what I needed to do, so the tasks were neatly listed in my task list. If I only looked at the number of tasks, it did not look like too much.

I thought, “I should be able to move through this in one day.” But in reality, even by the evening, I had not finished everything. I had to move one task to the next day, and several other tasks were only partially done rather than completed.
