Thanks, I don't think this does detract from the point, in fact it highlights a good point, well two actually.
The first is you need balance, $10 tasks are important as well, like cleaning your house or workspace. It's just that when we fill our day with just $10 tasks, we end up missing the important stuff.
In the same way if we just try and concentrate on $1000 and $10,000 tasks, we miss the little things that keep us ticking on.
Also as you point out, the $1000 and $10,000 take much more mental energy to carry out (hence their greater value), so yes $10 tasks are great transitions, and I find myself often saying; "I need a nice $10 task now to chill".
My favourite space-out $10 task is the hoovering, I can just click onto autopilot and let my mind wander :-)
Well said! "hoovering" makes me chuckle...my favs are running errands or going to the grocery store.
