Episode 240: Low-Hanging Fruit

Doing the easiest thing first (the low-hanging fruit) gets a bad rap. But it can actually make everything easier. In this episode Janine and Shannon discuss strategies around using low-hanging fruit to get stuff done.

Discussion topics include:

• Low-hanging fruit counts!

• How allowing yourself to address low-hanging fruit first can help you get started

• Starting with something easy and stopping when it stops being easy

• Shannon's ingenious closet-cleaning method

• How there's always the lowest hanging fruit

• Addressing low-hanging fruit in any situation

• Low-hanging fruit in task management

• Remembering that you don't have to do everything at once

• Counting every step (even the easiest step!)

• Magical words: "Done for now"

• Giving yourself credit for what you're doing

• Making sure your next action feels really doable (and if it doesn't, scale it back or move on to something else)
