52 principles for increased productivity

1 Skip the first thing and many other things that aren’t making a meaningful difference. Stop attempting to keep ideas in your mind about what you have to do and when you have to do it. Question your identity. I suggest you do that weekly. Use an idea-capturing tool, something to write or record things on, whenever they occur to you. You need something that is always with you.

2 Getting organized usually doesn’t work. Empty all ideas/thoughts on a page… Collect all the concerns on your mind big or small.
Is it actionable?
If so, what’s the outcome?
What’s the next action?
Organize the results into appropriate categories.

9 If it’s on your mind, it’s probably not getting done. Write it down. Look at it. Do it or say to yourself, “not now.” Abandon the concept of remembering by holding thoughts for a system that handles it for you so can focus on important and more meaningful work.

10 Creativity shows up when there is space for it.

12 Worry is a waste. Embrace the process of getting thinking off your mind.

14 For more clarity look from a higher place.
24 If you know what you are doing, efficiency is the only improvement opportunity.
48 You don’t have time to do any project – you can do only action steps.
52 The biggest successes come from the most failures.
