The goal is to narrow down and hone in on these 20% tasks to determine where most of your time should be spent. This is the idea that 80% of your reward likely comes from 20% of your efforts. Then ask yourself if you could only do a few things on that list, what would they be? What would move the needle the most?Īn important concept to remember is the 80-20 rule. Then, write down everything you’re currently doing in a day: where are your hours being spent? What are all the things you’re doing for your home/health/business, etc. So, really think about that first question: if you had more time in a day, what would you do? What are your values? What goals do you have, and what needs to get done to accomplish these? Get really clear on these! To manage each of these you need to have a good overall view of what is important to you. Or, if you have no energy, it doesn’t matter what you’re working on, you won’t make progress on it. Think about it: if you’re wasting time on Instagram, it doesn’t matter if you have a lot of energy, nothing important will get done. Managing these is what will help you to become more productive.
There are 3 elements to productivity: time, attention, and energy. If you like this intro I’d really suggest reading the full book, which you can purchase here on amazon. It’s about delegating the work you absolutely hate but needs to get done, it’s about saying no to events/people/projects that don’t serve you, and it’s about working smarter so you have even more time in a day to do the things that really matter to you.īelow I’ve outlined some of my favourite takeaways and tools from the book. It’s about how much you accomplish, and ensuring the work you are doing is important to you or your brand, and is actually moving the needle in the direction you want to go. Being productive isn’t about how efficient you work, or how full your calendar is.
This is really the basis of productivity. can you implement? What values are associated with your productivity goals? Why do you want to be more productive?” “Say you have 2 more hours of leisure time every day after reading this book: how will you use that time? What will you take on? What new rituals, habits, etc. He outlines a lot of tangible tools and tips which I have found very useful in my journey to being more productive. I recently read the Productivity Project by Chris Bailey, which is essentially a beginner’s guide to productivity. Being productive however (whatever that may look like), is a practice I think deserves more attention.
Being busy shouldn’t be worn like a badge of honour.
