productivity hacks
loads of blog posts, books, articles ... … how do
people have time to write all of them ...
why ...
procrastination vs “being productive” what is “being productive” anyway
Tasks vs Creative work
Let’s look at a few common frameworks
Task based
GTD Getting Things Done (not the Global Terrorism Database)
None
Inbox zero ties in well with GTD
Time based
Pomodoro named after the kitchen timer the inventor used, not
an actual tomato
None
Need a break? was that 25min already?
Some handy tools
rescuetime https://www.rescuetime.com/
None
wakatime For the devs: https://wakatime.com
None
Focus https://heyfocus.com ties in with Pomodoro
… that was the theory ... or: what works for
me
Optimise for tasks or creativity ... … or both?
reduce cognitive load dare to be boring where it does
not matter
distraction free environment no popups, no notifications, no phone alarms,
no calls, no excuses
visible task lists see what needs to be done all
the time
be “in the zone” loud music through headphones, white noise,
darkened room, whatever works for you
rituals create habits that tell you what to do next
Tasks are a good thing, embrace them Fill your procrastination
time with tasks
Create your own rituals and define your own split between
creative work and tasks
