I Read 107 Productivity Books. Heres What Actually Works

Main Steps:

🎯 Set Goals

Define long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals to provide direction and purpose.

📋 Break Tasks Down

Simplify goals into manageable weekly actions, avoiding overly complex lists.

🗓️Create Time Blocks

Utilize the "ideal week" technique to allocate time for tasks and priorities.

🌄 Plan with Intent

Begin each morning identifying the thing that you want to accomplish today. If you accomplish the thing then count your day as a success.

⏳ Overcome Procrastination

Recognize reasons why you are procrastinating and work on them. Most of the time, it is a feeling, so identify that feeling, try to reduce that feeling, and respond to that feeling.

🧘‍♀️ Stay Focused

Commit to the task at hand, minimize multitasking and distractions (crazy statistic that around 28% of an employees time is wasted at corporate jobs!)

😍 Make it Feel Good

The secret to [[productivity]] is not discipline, but joy

🕰️ Maximize Efficiency

Make sure to take breaks when appropriate, find tools and systems that improve efficiency, etc.

🌠 Reflect

Reflection is important to make sure that you can identify where you are going right and where you are going wrong so that you can course-correct later.
