Once priority has been set I use pomodoro technique to finish the task of high priority without thinking abt any other tasks until the current task is done. But the problem I face is after completion of this task my brain and body goes to relaxation state automatically. Switching back to focus mode to start working on new task becomes so difficult and I start procastinate. This is one area I need to work on how to switch easily . I can switch when task 1 is still in pending but it&#39;s difficult when it&#39;s completed. For example when an app is launched its tough to start working on new app, but when it&#39;s still not yet launched I can easily switch between the tasks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dave F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If theresl are urgent prior1 things, i start with them.
