I don’t know about you, but in my life and business, there’s always more to do.
I could always continue working to grow my business.
And I could always continue cleaning up and rearranging my apartment to be even more neat.
This typically leads to a common problem: If you don’t define what a productive day looks like, you’ll always think you haven’t done enough.
The even bigger problem is that you end up not acknowledging what you actually do because you’re so focused on more.
Over the last five years, I tried dozens of productivity strategies. From time boxing, David Allen’s GTD method to the Ivy Lee system, and much more.
Some of these methods made sense during specific phases of my life.
The Pomodoro Technique, for example, was my go-to tool during my studies. The Ivy Lee method was useful when I was writing my first book.
And I still use time boxing when working on large projects with different subtasks.
