- Productivity
The key is to let go of the idea of getting everything done.
Draw an actual line on your list.
Everything below doesn’t get done.
Plan weekly.
Triage daily.
Read my full guide to how I manage my todo list without overwhelm.
I used to be obsessed with productivity hacks.
Then I read 4000 weeks, you read it?
I’d also read The 80/20 principle
The better you get at your job, the more things you’ll have to do.
You think by being more productive you’ll be able to complete tasks quicker and clear your plate.
But here’s the secret:
Tasks lead to tasks.
The more productive you are, the busier you get.
There will never be enough time to do all of them.
You need learn to focus,
and do only the 20% of stuff that makes a difference.
And get ok with letting the rest slide.
It’s easier said than done though hahaha
As a completionist myself, this is hard.
Welcome to the joys of solopreneurship.
Get in.
Do the important work.
Get out.
I’m a terrible overthinker.
Sometimes it’s a superpower, which helps you brainstorm ideas
But often it’s a crutch which has you cycling through the same problem over and over with no progress.
