If you're reading this, you propably expect to get one or more tips for tools you didn't already know that make you more productive magically. In case you are a disciplined worker, you will be disappointed to read this article as the title was a little clickbaity.
But in case you are in a phase like me some weeks ago, you are procrastinating and wasting your time reading articles and watching videos on how to be productive. I hope this method and the comprehensive tooling will help you.
Start for 5 Minutes
If you have to work on stuff you don't want to work on, start a stop watch (no timer with notification), put it outside your field of view and start the task. If you take a look at the watch again and >= 5 mins passed, you can desicde if you stop or finish that task.
If you stop: You got more done than you would have done without this method. If you continue or ignore the stop watch: Congratulations, you were outgrowing yourself.
