These are time, energy, and attention. The true key to everyday productivity is to learn to work equally with all these three assumptions.
5. There are hundreds of tactics to achieve greater productivity
None of them is the only secret to productivity, we must all look at them and try them. Chris Bailey summarized one hundred tactics that worked best for him in this article.
4. Working longer and harder does not help
On the contrary, it paralyzes our productivity. Chris Bailey reached the same productivity when he worked four consecutive weeks for 90 hours as when he spent a month working 90 hours for one week and 20 hours another week. Working too long and too hard depletes our two vital resources - time and energy.
3. You should know why you are doing what you are doing
The answer to the question "why" is the basis of motivation. You need to know your values and what motivates you. Then work on your assignments accordingly. Being busy all the time is not the same as being productive.
2. Be kind to yourself
Achieving productivity requires a lot of effort, but not at the cost of putting excessive pressure on yourself. If most of what you say to yourself in your mind is negative, it is wrong. Be grateful for every occasion to improve and every success.
1. Productivity is about what you accomplish, not about what you produce
It's not about how many hours you worked, how many pages you wrote or read. Performing the tasks with greater value and contribution is more important. You should try to learn how to manage your time, energy and attention, and secure the sufficient resources needed for you to accomplish more.
