I once heard a productivity tip from one of Facebook’s most productive engineers. Apparently this technique is attributed to Ernest Hemingway and called the “Hemingway Bridge”.

The idea is simple: Don’t finish your task at the end of the work day. Leave it slightly incomplete on purpose.

The goal is to give your future self a clear, easy entry point to start working. Getting started is often the hardest part, but once you begin, momentum tends to carry you forward. This technique lowers that initial resistance and makes it easier to get into a flow state.

Honestly I don’t use this approach every day, but see it as a useful tool in my productivity toolbox.
