Productivity Systems and Tools: Adding Capabilities and Reducing Pain Points
Working faster doesn't always make work better. In this article, the author explores three categories of productivity systems and tools: those that add capabilities, those that reduce pain points, and a third category that will be discussed later. Adding capabilities means having tools that enable you to do things you couldn't do before, like a notebook for capturing book ideas. Reducing pain points involves eliminating or reducing activities that you dislike or that lead to exhaustion. Stay tuned for the discussion on the third category!
