What to do when you finish the task before the time you saved for your deep work?

Friedemann U.

I have a list of items that take 15-20 minutes to do—just long enough that I wouldn’t want to do them incidentally, but short enough that I can fit one in as a last task. I’ll pick one of those to check off.
