Great article. I use time boxing, plus setting alarms for tasks (like writing articles) otherwise I'll tinker at it all day.

Well done, Wendy!

Setting artificial deadline (and respect them) is a great way to fight procrastination 🙂

Good stuff! I also like to use the Eisenhower Matrix when trying to be more productive.

I set internal deadlines ahead of external deadlines. Works like a charm

You’re right, and at first it was hard, but I have somehow programmed my mind to see the internal deadlines as equally, if not more, important than the real deadline. And this approach had always resulted in better quality outcomes for me, vs taking the full time to deliver the results.

You've developed the habit then - a good one I must say.

Thanks for sharing it, Gaurav!

How do you make sure that your internal deadlines are as important as external ones?

This is the tricky part - I believe.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 67. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability,My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing and soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Limitless Herbs Center and their effective PD-5 herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!

Hi Donna,

I’m really sorry about your diagnosis, and I’m happy you found a way to alleviate the symptoms.

The piece I wrote, however, is not about Parkison disease, but Parkinson’s Law, which is completely different.

Give it a read and let me know what you think.
