For the past 3 years I’ve studied, practiced and tested every productivity technique out there.
Here’s what you need to do to actually be productive:
Here’s what you need to do to actually be productive:
Step 1: Know what you want
Productivity only works if you’re going in the right direction.
If you don’t know what you want, you can’t be productive.
• Set specific goals
• Know what is needed to achieve them

Step 2: Prioritise
Now you know what you want and how to get there
Make it a priority.
What does that mean?
• Make doing x a daily non-negotiable
• You do x as early in the day as possible

Step 3: Timeblock
Block out time throughout your day to;

Step 4: Set a daily highlight
A daily highlight is a task that so long as you get it done, your day was a success.
How to set a daily highlight?
• Choose your most impactful task
• Write down your DH in your daily planner each day
This takes prioritisation to a new level.

Step 5: Build systems
Systems can be anything from habits to automations to SOPs to delegation.
How to build systems?
• Write out tasks you do on a daily and weekly basis
• Write out each step needed to complete each task
• Find ways to streamline each step

Step 6: Prioritise deep work
Deep work involves 60-120 minutes of pure focus on a single lever moving task.
It allows you to enter a state of flow and get more done at a higher quality in less time.
Each time you complete a priority task, do it in a state of deep work.

Step 7: Utilise deadlines
Parkinsons Law: A task expands to fill the time allocated to it.
The tighter the deadlines you set (for both tasks and goals) the faster you’ll get it done.
• Set deadlines that make you feel slightly uncomfortable

Step 8: Detach
You will face resistance to the work.
Your inner bitch will try to get you to procrastinate and convince you that you need a day off.
Detach your actions from your emotions.
Do the work, do your DH.
You’ll feel great after you get it done.
