Episode 1687:

Carl Pullein challenges the traditional notion of prioritizing tasks based solely on perceived importance. Instead, he argues that consistency and completion build momentum, showing how treating all tasks with equal commitment leads to greater productivity and reduced overwhelm.

Quotes to ponder:

"All tasks are created equal. A task is a task and it needs to be done."

"When you start selecting which tasks are 'important' and which ones are 'not important', you are on a slippery slope to chaos and missed deadlines."

"Completing tasks consistently every day creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation."
