My Productivity System Based on Techniques from 3 Must-Read Books
Key lessons and a practical system so that it doesn’t only make you feel good but instead inspires you to transform your productivity routine
Until recently, I struggled with consistently staying productive. I have achieved phenomenal successes close to deadlines, but I never managed to keep momentum. Thanks to being in academia, I attended numerous courses and training workshops in the last 14 years to improve. However, at best, most of those have been only incrementally helpful. I even bought books on procrastination that I procrastinated on.
Despite these struggles, I always had a way of pulling things together last minute by dialing down on leisure, sleep, and social activities as and when required. This was possible because I was living alone. My only responsibility back then was to take care of myself.
However, life changed. I am no longer living alone. I have a very young family to take care of. It’s during this period that I felt the urge to double down on my efforts and find a way to distill all the knowledge on productivity and time management I accumulated over the years into a workable system.
