How do you stay productive?

We all have own approach and path to productivity.

Mine looks a bit like this

For Mindset - I always go back to my favorite reading Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

Every Sunday, I plan my week ahead. I map the activities I need to do and generally outline the stuff that is important. I don't plan to the minute or the hour.

2. Deep Work - Cal Newport

My sacred hours for intense work are from Tuesdays - Thursdays. I've kept Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays as "meetings +other" days.

3. Calendar Audit - Shaan Puri

I've set up a green, yellow, red tagging system to keep my calendar healthy, my body moving and my brain grooving.

4. Zone of genius - Naval Ravikant and Kapil Gupta

I don't let energy draining activities take over my schedule. For eg: As a non-tech person, it's easy to think I HAVE to learn to code to avoid FOMO. But I know coding isn't for me. I don't want to pretend that it is.

5. Effective executive - Peter Drucker

I track my time to see where my time is going.
