One question saves a lot of time: How can I create something today, which works good enough (for now)? It's not easy to answer but worth it!

Example: For more than a year I wanted to create a web application database. How can I create it today? The answer: Posterous! After 30 minutes of setting up -it's online.

You'll not beat the big software companies in number of features. One way to beat them is by being simpler. Cut all the unnecessary stuff and do the bare minimum really good. Doing so will be enough work, but it's manageable and a starting point for future improvements.

- Imagining what can be after finishing
- Comedy

After Reading "Your Brain at work" by David Rock my daily routine includes an episode of a funny series and imagining how it can be after finishing the project. It was never easier for me to start working and stay focused.

Like "Productivity through avoidance", meaning instead of forcing yourself to do the one task you avoid, you embrace this avoidance to get other tasks done. 

So why not instead of trying to avoid reactionary workflow, take control of the reactionary workflow? Let's say by automatic emails on which you react, you work on your tasks and use your reactionary nature to get things done.

Anyone has ideas or experience with this kind of productivity?
