I originally was going to ask this in the software thread, but I feel this discussion is not solely limited to software.

How do you get things done? How do you organize your life?

I've started using Onenote 2016 alongside Eisenhower matrices to schedule/complete tasks and projects.

I'm not sure I've actually completed anything since I finished college.

After grad school and joining the workforce, I’ve learned to only present projects that have no clear “goal” and are a series of continuous “innovations and improvements”. So, basically, I just work on a project indefinitely until people say “hey, things are going pretty great, let it run for a bit” or they say “we aren’t seeing a big enough ROI, do something else”. Then I drag my heels until people notice me and I cook up something wacky and outside the box that idiot millenials eat up and my baby boomer bosses entertain because I have a knack for keeping millenials from leaving the organization and I’ve been known to produce actual good work from time to time.

Which is why you’ll see me post for weeks at a time while drunk and at odd hours. I’m between projects or I’ve built a project to be self-sustaining and all I gotta do is keep it running.

My biggest fear is people finding out I’m a fraud and I’ll be reduced to poverty. I guess it’s imposter syndrome, but I think you have to be legitimately talented to have that.

Project/Life Management Tip #1:
If you need to prove to people you're better than someone, you’re probably not.

Start over OP.

bad idea: giving a shit about anything, planning ahead, being invested in anything whatsoever

Really Good™ idea: not giving a shit unless something is directly inconvenient to you, only doing what's absolutely necessary, be condescending as possible to anyone who doesn't "get" something, eviscerate anyone who comes close to even remotely suggesting your hedonistic, sadistic, or masochistic tendencies might be unhealthy or unproductive, relentlessly mock people who believe in something beyond themselves

hope that helps OP

My answer is a little powerlevely, so read with caution.
A lot of it has to do with confidence, and confidence is one of those weird things where you either have it or you don't. The way I got over my lack of confidence was to just fake it until enough people thought I was confident that I just became confident. And after that I could do just about anything. Life is just complicated like that.

Know how you’re going to dispose of the body, but also how you’ll get it there. If you get stopped by the police, have a good story, but don’t volunteer it unless asked.
 
I like to have lots of to-do lists. I have a list on my whiteboard of all the things I want to do, a smaller list of things that I'd specifically want to do this month, and a planner for my daily plan. That way I have all my projects listed in three places so I can panic and be too overwhelmed to finish anything on my lists. It's very convenient.
