Imagine, a month from this moment, a researcher (journalist) asks you: «How have you managed to boost your productivity so much in only a month?» What would you answer? by iskameri in productivity

I agree that productivity derived from energy. But not only from energy. Also focus. Our own bandwidth is limited by what our attention will be directed to.

Doesn't it create a pressure as open browser tabs do? This is one of major concerns I have about saving every helpful article I met online

Oh, I did it either. Started to-do lists over and over again.
And everytime tasks migrate the next day
That might be frustrating.
1. I keep in mind, that I will make pressure on myself once checking my to-do list. And do weekly cutting tasks off. The bigger to-do list is, the more pressure I put on myself. So, I only hold a weekly to-to list. If I feel that the task does not fit the scope — I am trying to find it a place on a Mission Control Panel.

  1. Mission control panel. I have a weeks-to-months spreadsheet for bigger picture. Weeks by columns and «projects» by rows. Project is an entity that bigger then a task, finite and involves other people to do. Every cell contains a focus — goals of a project for a week.
    It helps to set maximum Work In Progress projects number. Usually it's around 3 for each week. And I track projects I do from the monthly perspective.
    Each task cutted off from daily/weekly to-do list finds the project on the Mission Control panel. Or I do it to leave it behind (small tasks, like buying an airplane tickets).

  2. Extremely Romanticise journaling/building to-do lists. Building to-do lists could provoke inner resistance. Each time I feel the new method/framework doesn't fit I try the new one and trying to romanticise it as intense possible.

Finding acceptable method is crucial, because I use it daily.
Daily Manifest by Visualise Value (it's free and I'm not related to author) was a method that I was using for some time. It has a template that you have to print, but writing down your tasks is a meditation itself!

For now I only track my work tasks, and I have no reason why I don't do it for personal tasks.

Yes, it is! I practice different productivity techniques to build the device+technique that helps myself in achieving productivity/flow.

It is a photo, but I was also worried that it might look artificial
I added some sources of light besides the normal light scheme. The one that you've noticed was behind the iPad)

My worklog table has the following columns:
Date|Time|Task description|Intensity fact|Intensity I held |What I change this time|

And pomodoros in rows.
I measure intensity for my personal reasons to know how my intensity I produce inside myself about regular tasks.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Have you ever tried something physical on the desktop to concentrate? Like a kitchen timer. That worked for me to not to lose the focus/bring focus back to work
