NOTE

Strategies for Productivity and Focus by Andrew Huberman

The speaker follows various strategies for productivity and focus, including morning sunlight exposure, prioritizing deep rest and physiological size, incorporating cardiovascular and resistance training, and practicing cold exposure. These activities are combined with consumption of podcasts and audio books. The speaker also sets aside a 20-minute period for deliberate and focused thoughts, akin to active or narrative meditation. In terms of tactical priming, the speaker uses handwritten sticky notes to stay focused on the task at hand and avoids distractions. They recognize the reward and sense of accomplishment that comes from completing work and project that feeling into the present. Additionally, the speaker utilizes the question of what their future self would want their present self to do as a way to make better decisions. They emphasize the impact of the story we tell ourselves about our decisions on our overall well-being and satisfaction.
