Productivity Systems I’ve Tried and My Honest Opinion on Each of Them
There are many ways to be productive, but not all of them will work effectively for everyone.
As a person who suffers from anxiety, it has been difficult for me to find the perfect balance of productivity, especially when working remotely.
Sometimes, I have been extremely productive to the point of burnout, where every hour of my day feels like I need to do something worthwhile, but I get too tired. Other times, I have been so unproductive that by the end of the day, I haven’t accomplished anything because I have been too distracted.
For this reason, I have researched and tested every popular productivity tool and technique to learn what works best for me, and here is my opinion on each one.
Waking up at 5 A.M.
Getting up at 5:00 AM has been one of the most difficult but most effective techniques I have ever tried. At that time, there were practically no distractions, which helped me focus solely on what I had to do.
I also realized that I had been more creative at that time since, after having rested for 8 hours, my brain was active enough to start new activities with its energy 100% restored.
