Hey, it's James.

If you've ever struggled with procrastination, I'll help you beat it in this email.

And trust me when I say this:

I know what procrastination feels like.

I've been struggling with procrastination for a long time.

Because as a small one-man business I often suffer from brain overload.

You know, that shitty feeling when your brain is fried from thinking of all the shit you have to do?

I realized why it kept happening to me.

I had too many tasks...

Let me tell you the story of how I got there in the first place:

When I started iNotion 16 months ago I kept pushing products consistently.

Just like I am doing now.

Some time after having launched my first 15+ products, I had to make a small change on a product page.

And then it struck me.

Every time I needed to make a small adjustment, I needed to do it 15+ times.

Manual, repetitive, shitty work.

But that didn't make it less important to get done.

So what did I do?

I put it on my to-do list.

With a big fat underlining to highlight it's importance.

There it lived comfortably for the next 3 months.

And it made a bunch of new friends as I kept adding on more and more tasks.

The worst part though?

All these tasks were equally important to get done.

They were going to bring me closer to my goal, right?

But this is what I did instead of completing them:

I got stuck.

My mind wandered.

Eventually, I wound up thinking:

"Let me just turn on Netflix and forget about my problems for a minute."

My endless to-do list kept frying my brain.

Every time I looked at it I got stuck in a thought-loop of:

"If all my tasks are equally important and I have 100's of them...

... which one do I do first?"

The problem of having to decide what task to do first took up all my mental energy.

Which just meant no tasks got done at all.

I had to get out of this rut.

So what did I do to fix my problem?

I scoured marketplaces for a system to help me.
I reached out to other entrepreneurs to ask for advice.
I looked for a consultant to help me build a system from scratch.

Did any of it help? No.

Because often, you have to do shit yourself to get it done right.

At the same time, I discovered something called "The Eisenhower Matrix".

The impeccable system that a guy in the 1950's used to prioritize tasks.

But not just any guy, the 34th President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower.

And it's safe to say that he achieved a lot.

Maybe there was something in that system that could help me.

So I built a Notion system around the Eisenhower Matrix to solve my problem of task-overload-induced procrastination.

The Supreme Second Brain system uses the inbuilt Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks that needs to get done first.

The idea behind is: you take your task, tag it and organize it, then prioritize it based on the Eisenhower Matrix to send it down the stream of databases until it ends up at your desk for you to complete at the right time.

It includes recurring tasks (without widgets or 3rd party apps) and unlimited projects and areas to organize tasks in.

Even cooler, I built a Greatest Supreme Second Brain version which you can use for stop procrastinating in every nitty-gritty area of your life.

So listen...

If you're a creator, entrepreneur or just a busy individual, I'll bet you know what task overload feels like.

The struggle of wanting to produce, but being unable to.
The struggle of feeling stuck and imprisoned by your own mind.
The struggle of being left behind because others succeed while you watch Netflix.

But there's no reason you should let it go on a minute longer.
