Every day you make a lot of to-do lists, and then you hit them one by one according to your priorities. But do you find that most of them don't need your attention at the moment, but they are showing up in your to-do list, and every time you check the list you get distracted and even frustrated because you feel that there are too many tasks to finish. In fact, the first task you need to focus on is the first one, the other tasks should fade out of your view and don't need to be seen at this moment, so that you can reduce the visual burden and mental anxiety, and better complete the task at hand.
