The key to managing your productivity is self-awareness. Erik Fisher is the producer and podcast host for Beyond The To-Do List, where he discusses practical productivity strategies with productivity experts. The best way to streamline a productive schedule is to be realistic about what we know we can do, how much we know we can do, and which days we are most productive. Spend a week and gather data on where you spend your time and do an honest analysis of how you could rearrange your to-do list to take advantage of this. The vast majority of what we put on our to-do lists are not tasks that move the needle, so doing less, but more of what is important, is the formula for success. You have agency over your work life, so make an honest assessment of your current strategy and take control!
Notes:
📋 Eric has been the producer and host of the Beyond the To-Do List podcast, where he talks with productivity experts: choose less to do because when you get less done, you still have all that extra time. 01:57
⏳ Bring more self-awareness into your day by using Toggle or just time-tracking your schedule for a week: repeat this every six months. 03:22
🎙️ Erik struggled with ADHD for a very long time in his adult life without knowing, which led him to start a productivity podcast. 08:19
❗ You can be more productive by reducing the expectations you put on yourself: broken commitments affect our psyche, emotions, heart, and confidence. 10:25
✅ Check which times are best for certain task types: you have a very high percentage of agency about your workflow. 14:00
👉 Many people are forcing themselves into a chronotype that's not their own: schedule your day the best way it works for you. 17:07
📈 Just hit a reset, do one of these time-tracking sessions for a good week or two, and track all those variables: it's time for a change! 20:50
