It’s better to consistently make okay progress than to make bursty progress with periods of feast and famine.
When it comes to Morale Responsiveness, it is probably my better to be non-responsive (aka not dependent on) having a high morale. If you can consistently make a little bit of progress, and use Time Blocking to ONLY make that amount of progress, you will end up being more productive with less time spent, cumulatively. Also you won’t be as susceptible to depression regarding your work.
