Productivity is not about doing more in less time.
It is not about making to-do lists, prioritizing them, or even outsourcing.
It is about “making time” in your day for the things you care about.
What are your priorities?
– Spending time with your family?
– Learning a language?
– Starting a side business?
– Volunteering?
– Writing a book?
Whatever you want to do, “make time” for it.
Life is so busy and chaotic. That’s why we are constantly stressed and distracted. We have too many things on the go that are competing for every minute of our time.
We are in we-must-fill-every-minute-with-productivity-bandwagon.
Overflowing inboxes, stuffed calendars, endless to-do lists, apps, and other sources of never-ending content, most of our time is spent by default attending to these things.
Productivity isn’t the solution.
I have tried every productivity trick to do more.
The trouble is there are always more tasks waiting to be done.
The faster I ran on the hamster wheel the faster it spun.
So I got off the hamster wheel.
– I deleted apps.
– I banned devices.
– I scrapped to-do lists.
And I “made time” for the things I really wanted to do.
I am now less busy but feel more productive.
I am working only 4 hours a day now but achieving much more.
What things you are doing by default?
What do you need to “make time” for?
