The Most Important Productivity Tip Nobody Follows

Productivity isn't just about doing things faster - That’s only half the story. Here are the core points from the lesson:

  • Productivity isn't just about efficiency, it's about working efficiently on important tasks that actually move the needle
  • Prioritization requires painful trade-offs—you must let go of low-impact activities even if they're easy, fun, or popular
  • Define your personal values and consciously deprioritize areas that don’t align with them, like staying updated on politics or reading a book a week
  • A simple yet powerful framework for teams is evaluating tasks based on impact and time required, then prioritizing high-impact, low-time work first
