Three Step Productivity

Not a day goes by when somebody doesn't ask me how to manage their time and be more productive. I wanted to share my simple, non-AI approach to getting things done.

It's crucial to understand that productivity systems are not one-size-fits-all. They should be tailored to your unique needs and goals, which can evolve with your changing roles and responsibilities in life.

I'm now living in the wisdom role and not the get a thousand things done a day role. Still, no matter what role you play, productivity comes down to three elements:

1) Holding space on your calendar. If you need help deciding when to do your whats, you must spend more time learning that skill.

2) Task Management contains all the little things you must do during the time set on your calendar. And no, they never go on your calendar.

3) All projects and their millions of details live in a separate project management document, file, or software. You reference it when you need it. Any task that needs to be done finds its way to your Task Manager.

That's it.

Only three tools are needed for productivity: a calendar, a Task Management System, and a place for project details. Never the three shall mix.
