#501 - Tiago Forte - Supercharged Effortless Productivity
Productivity as a Phase
- Obsess over productivity in one phase of your career to maximize efficiency.
- Then shift focus to higher-leverage skills like creativity and leadership.
Minimum Viable Productivity
- Basic productivity is like learning arithmetic—foundational for further growth, but don't aim for perfection.
- Get it to a functional level and move on to higher-order skills.
Second Brain Optionality
- A second brain isn't mandatory for success, some achieve goals without it.
- Consider it if information overload hinders your creative output or decision-making.

Thankfully Tiago has created one of the world's most popular systems to Capture, Organise, Distill and Express pretty much anything.
Expect to learn the most important apps Tiago uses to enhance his productivity, why everyone needs to go through an insane efficiency stage in life, how he's moving beyond pure productivity and into something more holistic, why read later apps can save your life, how to use the relationship between productivity and creativity and much more...
