The Productivity Equation: Desing a Balanced and Productive Lifestyle

Multiplying your time: Doing something today that will give you more time tomorrow.

The Focus Funnel: A way to know how to approach a task.

• Whether it can be eliminated, delegated, done today, or leave it for later.

Divide your time: Give a clear start and finish time to your projects.

• It's better to have defined deadlines to avoid procrastination.
• Time blocking can be helpful to work on specific activities during the day.

We can have all the time in the world, but if we don't have the energy to do the work, we won't get anything done.

Activities that can improve our health and increase our energy are exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

TRAIN: 

• Exercise: It increases our cortisol levels and body temperature which means we will be more alert and focused.
• Nutrition: Eat healthily and reduce the consumption of junk food.

RECOVER

• Sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is important to consolidate knowledge and erase the waste of your brain.
• Mindfulness: Directing your attention to the moment can improve your cognition and reduce depression, anxiety, fear  or pain.

We can have all the time and energy to do stuff, but if we don't have a clear goal or objective, all that effort will end up being unproductive work. 

For this section, the key is to reduce distraction and increase traction to get closer to your goals.

Traction: Getting closer to your goals.

Distration: Getting further from them.

To maximize your traction and minimize distraction we can use the pomodoro technique, distraction-free workspace, or deep work-mode.
