Episode Highlights
Why do we struggle so much with productivity?
- Mental health, finances, and personal relationships play a significant role in our ability to get things done. Regardless of our intentions, something is always going to get in the way.
- There is no one-size-fits-all for productivity. Everyone’s brain is different. It’s all about trial and error.
Some hacks work, some don’t.
- The Pomodoro Technique is great for those of us who find ourselves easily distracted. You get the chance to condense your productivity into 25 minute bursts and reward yourself with a break each time.
- Cut out the decision-making time with the two-minute rule. This may be the one you’ll want to try out if you find yourself regularly switching between tasks. We lose so much time in trying to figure out what new mountain we’re going to climb.
- If you already have one routine down, such as taking your medicine at the same time each night, learn how to batch tasks together to save energy and time.
5 Powerful Quotes
- “Being productive each day is difficult because on a day by day basis, we have to deal with so many distractions and obstacles.”
- “There’s no one size fits all solution to productivity; it’s a personal issue that you need to be able to figure out for yourself. But don’t worry…because you’re not totally alone.”
- “[The Pomodoro Technique] is a really simple strategy and it gets better after you do it for a while because your brain gets used to the situation and will stop fighting the timer.”
- “A lot of our productivity in the day is actually lost, not in the planning stages, but in task switching, recording, and decision making.”
- “It takes an extra 5 minutes in the morning to think about how your to-do list should be structured and reorganize it. Then, for the rest of the day, you shave minutes off of task and context switching.”
