Science of Productivity

Good reminders! Can’t rely on willpower alone, as it’s an exhaustible resource. Must build habits and new mindsets.

• Just get started.
• Deliberate practice > More practice. (See all successful musicians & atheletes.)
• Break up your day into sessions of 90-minutes work and 15-minutes planned breaks.
• Break up your big projects into smaller chunks.
• Accountability chart, so you can actually assess your progress
• Stop multi-tasking!
• Create an action plan the night before, so you can hit the ground running in the morning.
