Use the blitz approach for your to-do list

What is the blitz approach you ask?!  The blitz approach involves rapidly moving through your to-do list by completing the small, less time intensive tasks in one batch.  If things are being added to your agenda faster than you can complete tasks already on the list, this approach is a huge confidence booster.

Think about the times when you complete a task and then add it to your to do list just to scratch it off.  I’ve done this, admit it — you have too.  This strategy employs a tactic to achieve the same feeling: that you’re accomplishing lots of tasks and are uber productive.

Its not exactly dishonest or misleading.  You would have completed these tasks regardless — but using the blitz approach to completing several in a row boosts your confidence, initiates a wave of productivity, and weeds out your to do list down to less items to consider tackling next.
