That's why I have my mic closer to me.

Now, as many of you all know, I'm in my new office.

A lot of hard service is not a lot of stuff on the walls.

So naturally, it's an echoey room Now that the mike in the room is addressed.

Not too long ago, we talked about learning code faster using the Fineman technique.

But what good is learning the fine men technique if you're not gonna use the final technique And I'm not just talking about simply not using it, what I'm really talking about is procrastination.

That brings me to this video.

This video is all about the one trick that I use to prevent procrastination, to increase productivity, to allow myself to coat faster, to go better toe, be more efficient and not just coding, but life as a whole.

And that is a micro tasking.

Now what is micro tasking?

Micro tasking is something that I've talked about on the channel time and time again.

I just never called it to micro tasking.

It's basically when you take a big problem and you break that big problem down into smaller problems.

You take those smaller problems and break this down into even smaller problems, and you keep on going until you have problems or tasks, micro tasks that are actually digestible and that don't prevent you from starting on those tasks.

If you are too scared because there's a task or a problem, that is a bit daunting and you think it'll take three hours will see what you can do to shrink that down into a 30 minute task.

I mean, let's face it, it's much easier to get started while staring down a 30 minute task.

And it is when you know you have a six hour task in front of you but also allow you to be more productive instead of trying to figure out all these different problems within that six.

Our task.

You just have X amount of a 30 minute task, and when you focus on one problem at a time, you would be more fishing here.

We'll find a better solution for that particular problem, and then you're able to move on to the next.

Plus, you'll be more productive because you won't be procrastinating due to a daunting task in front of you.

That's why I always say, if you're looking for, like, motivation to get coding and then you come home from work from school or you wake up, you just You just don't have the motivation to go sit down in your computer and start typing code.

Just go in expecting to cope for 15 minutes.

That's it.

15 minutes and then you're done.

You could walk away.

You can feel accomplished.

What have you More than likely you're gonna be looking up at the clock three hours from now, trying to figure out where in the world that time went because you got into the groove of things once you actually sat down and started working.

You realize this is something that you actually like to do?

You may be daunting because you're going to be using all this mental power, solve problems, what have you.

But this is something that you actually like to do.

I mean, I like to go work out.

It doesn't mean it's always easy to hop in the car, drive all the way to the gym and start working out.

But once I'm actually in the groove of things, lifting weights or running or whatever the heck I'd I do whenever I go to the gym, which hasn't been recently.

I actually get into the groove of things and I enjoy myself.

I enjoy it when I'm actually, they're just like you enjoy sitting in front of the computer and coding.

So just just 15 minutes, that's all you're done.

I think you'll be surprised.

Now, instead of talking hypothetical, let's take a really a world example in implement of micro tasking count.

What we're gonna do is we're gonna hop into the computer here.

We're gonna look at this old website that I kind of put together and on C It's a Web template that I just filled out like a little resume portfolio thing from when I thought I was going to be an IOS freelancer.

All right, double miked up here.

Let's see what we can do.

Like I said, I'm trying to reduce the echo by just keeping the mic close to me for the time being.

All right, so the main objective is to create a resume portfolio website.

That is where we start.

We need to branch out from there now what do we have within that resume?

Portfolio Website?

Well, for taking this as our example, we have a home page and we can have a little website tour as we go over this.

So home page time.

First night I was developing designer for the new Beach Works as a freelancer.

I thought that was pretty good And we have a resume section.

So this is where all of the education working screens would be located.

We have our skills section, which, in all honesty I was always confused about this.

These sections, it's like, I don't know what 85% swift codes skills means, but, I mean, it kind of looks cool, I suppose portfolio.

This is where you will show off your weather app for IOS, your pokey finder, IOS, and then put your photos back there behind it that I never did.

And in your contact section, All right, everything seems fairly shaped forward, but there's still quite a few elements with they need section Let's take the resume section, for example.

For the second this video, this is the only one we're going to fully brainstorm out.

So from top to bottom, we have a title.

We have a line here to make it look nice.

We have a button to download on my resume.

We have a button that's getting touched that will take us over to our contact form.

We have our title for education.

We have you.

Little witch is displaying the information for education, which is officially outdated because I'm no longer a student there.

And then we have our work experience down here and what we just did.

In theory, you'll do for every section for skills.

Got to figure out exactly what you want too late label, and they're not the actual skills.

But do you want code skills?

Widget.

Do you want software skills?

Widget, professional skills, widget for portfolio.

Display of photo in the background you want Have titles?

You would have a little description, right?

They're separated by a line.

Those are all the decisions that you will have to make if you're creating your own little Web page or your own application because you're the designer, you're the developer.

You are everything that's to do with that application, so you need to figure all that out.

Now you have to figure out what you want to do first for a simple Web page like this, I think it's reasonable to just start at the top and go through each section until you're done with the APP.

So up here you start filling out all of the tasks within this section or this user stories you would call it.

You go down to the resume, you go down to the skills till you're finished with the insure.

All of this is easier said than done.

I understand that.

But that's kind of the point of making the video.

I don't want everything to sound so difficult.

I want everything to sound easy.

That way you can implement this within your own life, not just coding problems.

I know.

Of course, I focused a lot of my content on coding problems, like with the five minute technique, how to learn code faster or the Fineman technique.

That's something that you can use in any aspect of your life.

Micro tasking is something else you can use in any aspect of your life.

Now what I'm gonna do now, besides, put on my glasses real quick, we're gonna take these post it notes.

I'm very visual learner.

I liketo have things laid out right in front of me to get a better understanding.

And I think that will help you all as well.

So we're going to essentially brainstorm everything we just talked about in order for a little recap.

All right, we're gonna start micro tasking.

We're gonna start off with our big problem.

And that is the resume portfolio website working those down into five sections.

That is the Home resume Skills portfolio and Contact section.

What we've done is honed in on one for the sake of this video, and that is the resume portion for the resume portion.

We have the section title, the download button, they get in touch button title and widgets.

Now that we have everything laid out brainstormed, we are running into one problem.

It's a fact that I like to take my stuff everywhere I go, because if I'm mountain about I come up with a better idea.

I want to be able to add it and do the applicable area.

Or if I want to change something around or edit or what have you.

And that is really posted after enjoyed comes in before you get into it.

I want to think poster brand for sponsoring his video.

You all know if I didn't believe in something, I wouldn't have it sponsor on the Channel Post.

I mean, it's posted brand poster brand posted notes there, post that for Android just being released right now.

So go on the Google Place door and get it.

But let me show you a little bit more to make sure you're interested.

So what you're able to do, instead of just taking a picture, is what you have everything laid out on your desk.

You can go into the posted up for android and take a picture within the app.

What this does it identifies every post it note that is within frame, and it saves that into its own personal board.

And within this board, you can leave meses or you conform at them in a few different ways.

To be able to edit the Post it note, you're able to delete posted notes, or if you want to add a new post it note, you could do that as well.

And there are many different features within this application that you can use, including the ability to have multiple boards together, where if you wanted to have eight section separate from each other, so it's a little bit more organized within the application.

You could do that, too.

So if you're anyone like me or basically anybody else I know and you use posted notes, I would highly recommend checking out the post of that for Anjali.

Speaking of people who use Post it notes, I swear my tech leader work.

He has had the same 14 post it notes stuck all over his monitors and desk for the past year, and that's it.

That is the one trick I use that has helped me so, so much micro task.

So get off this video after you give it a like and you subscribe.

So you get more videos, sit down in your desk and start working or sit down on your computer and grab your post it notes and start breaking down those big tasks into smaller tasks and those smaller tasks and to even smaller words, hope you all enjoyed this video.
