Productivity Tips

Simple, actionable advice to help you focus and get more done.

The Rule of Three

Each morning, choose just three tasks that would make your day a success. Not ten. Not five. Three. This forces you to prioritize what truly matters and gives you a realistic target to hit.

Time Blocking

Instead of working from a to-do list, schedule specific blocks of time for specific tasks. When it's time to work on something, that's all you do. No multitasking, no distractions.

Eat the Frog

Do your hardest, most important task first thing in the morning when your willpower is highest. Everything else will feel easier after that.

Take Real Breaks

Scrolling social media isn't a break—it's more screen time. Step away from your desk. Stretch. Go outside. Your brain needs actual rest to perform at its best.

The Two-Minute Rule

If a task takes less than two minutes, do it now. Don't add it to your list, don't schedule it—just do it. This prevents small tasks from piling up and cluttering your mind.

Single-Tasking

Multitasking is a myth. Your brain can only focus on one thing at a time. Switching between tasks costs you time and mental energy. Pick one thing and give it your full attention.

Quick Wins

  • Turn off notifications during focus time
  • Keep your workspace clean and minimal
  • Use headphones to signal you're in focus mode
  • Set a specific end time for your workday
  • Review your day for 5 minutes before logging off
  • Prepare tomorrow's task list tonight
  • Say no to meetings that could be emails
  • Batch similar tasks together

The Anti-Productivity Mindset

Remember: the goal isn't to be busy. It's to do meaningful work and have time for life. Here's what we believe:

  • Rest is productive
  • Less can be more
  • Not everything needs to be optimized
  • Your worth isn't measured by your output
  • Sometimes the most productive thing is to do nothing

Put It Into Practice
