Decisions fatigue your brain. And routines eliminate decisions. Which ultimately means more brainpower. Routines are not OCD — they are efficient.

Routines work

If you have recurring tasks, try to do as much of the same thing on one day, so that nothing else gets in the way.

Focus on 1 thing 

...to things that don't thrill you. When you think ‘meh’ about something, always say NO. That eliminates wasting time on shit that you're not excited about.

Say no 

If something distracts you, eliminate it. Don’t think you’re immune to your distractions. Remove them.

Willpower is overrated

Keep a simple work and living environment. A desk, a laptop, and a notebook. You don’t need any fluff.With a cluttered brain, you can’t get stuff done.

Keep it simple

It’s about achieving maximum output, getting shit done, and not wasting time. Tools, apps, or hacks, don’t work if you lack the right mindset.

Productivity is a way of living

Take that first hour to think about the day ahead of you, read a book, enjoy your breakfast, coffee or tea. A smartphone’s primary function is to interrupt you. Don’t let other people or apps interrupt you during the first hour of your day.

Do important stuff in the morning

Ask yourself the question Is That Really Necessary?  as often as you can. You will find that your answer is usually: Nope.

Stop doing unnecessary things

The last year has been huge for me. I've got more things done than ever, switched careers and countries, spent loads of time with my family and friends, kept a healthy lifestyle, and exercised at least 5 times a week. Many variables determine your overall productivity.
