dream | act | succeed

Agreed, we all know what this is, right? But it’s not what I mean. I really mean just that, a simple list of tasks you cross out once the job is done. What’s the point of that? It’s simple, it’s all about psychology.

In case you are not working in manufacturing you can hardly see a physical result at the end of the day. In my day to day job as an engineer I hardly see any physical result after all. It’s all happening inside the computer. Meetings, excel, word, powerpoint, 3d models in CAD, you name it. I get stuff done but I don’t really see the results. Meaning that I do not really get the same feeling a mechanic gets after assembling a car and observing it getting driven out of the workshop.

My solution to the problem? I write all my tasks down on a piece of paper and cross it out. Right! Yes! Guilty! I even write down tasks I already did just do get the nice feeling the moment I cross it out. And does it work? Yes, it does! Try it yourself!

See you next time!
