Episode notes
Action-Powered Productivity
- Structure your productivity system based on the actions you take, not the other way around.
- Let the system's structure emerge from your workflow to ensure it supports what you do.
Roles over Priorities
- Define roles as identities you embody in your work and life.
- Connect projects and actions to these roles to align your efforts with your overall purpose.
Benefits of Roles over Goals
- Goals can be fuzzy and become irrelevant as circumstances change.
- Roles provide more stable identities to guide your actions, while projects bring specificity to your goals.
