Tag: Productivity

If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m always focused on learning about productivity, especially how to improve mine. I think it’s essential for me to be more productive, not to do more work, but do better work. Many subscribe to technique A or B from certain gurus, but I think one rule doesn’t fit all. People have different ways of thinking, working, and organizing. It’s important to know what things people do and where they improve and see if they work for you.
In this section, I want to show you things that can improve your productivity. They can be automation, books, or podcasts. They can also be concepts or practices that have worked for me, and you can try them for yourself.
The important part for me is that you learn something new, but also teach me. If you don’t agree with some of the concepts or want me to focus on them, please get in touch. I want feedback, and you can always reach me by email or Twitter.
