Productivity
If you have not noticed by now, I am always focused on learning about productivity, especially how to improve my own. Being more productive is essential to me, not so I can do more work, but so I can do better work. Plenty of people swear by technique A or B from a favorite guru, yet I do not believe one rule fits everyone. People think, work, and organize differently, so it helps to see what others do, where they improve, and whether the same approach works for you. In this section I want to show you things that can lift your productivity, whether that is automation, a book, or a podcast. Some are concepts and practices that worked for me, and you are welcome to try them and keep what fits.
