How to Get Things Done

I recently read  Mind Management, Not Time Management by  David Kadvy.

It made a big impact on me because David has thought a lot about popular productivity methods like Getting Things Done and considered how they can apply to writers and creatives. 

He breaks down how creatives can organize their day so they’re at their best when it’s time to write or work on a project and how they can also find time for all the administrative stuff that could come with running a writing business. 

I was interested to know more about his writing process. He also has a very specific early morning writing routine he describes in this week’s interview. 

I started by asking David about the key ideas in his book and how he came to write it in the first place. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Getting your mind ready to write
• Review what you're going to write the next day
• David's morning routine
• Using The Zettelkasten Method
• How many hours a day David spends in a creative state 
• Deciding how many books to write each year

Resources:

• David's Amazon store
• David Kadvy
• The Zettelkasten Method
