Tiago Forte – Pillars Of Productivity
What does it mean to be “productive”?
Productivity has gotten a bad rap. When you hear that word, you’re probably picturing someone hunched over their desk, grinding away endlessly at mind-numbing tasks from morning till night.
I don’t blame you! So much productivity content out there is just different ways of getting yourself to do things you hate doing. It’s become synonymous with hustle culture, never-ending busyness, and the opposite of what makes us come alive.
But I’m here to tell you: That is not what productivity is!
Productivity is NOT…
Boring chores and drudgery
Working harder and longer
Random hacks and silver bullets
Always staying busy and beating yourself up for wasting time
Ticking off all tasks on your to-do list
Productivity is…
Your ability to take a vision in your head and manifest it in the real world, to make your ideas happen
Working efficiently, which means minimizing waste (think wasted time, effort, energy, potential, imagination, ideas, or relationships)
A system that you can rely on and that gives you the confidence to handle anything life throws at you
Having the self-awareness to pause and recognize what’s going on so you never have to force yourself to do more than your body and mind allows
Creating the clarity and focus to work on the right priorities that create the life you want
What would having a system for productivity open up for you?
Whether you want to make a big vision happen, get your life together, or anything in between, with a system for productivity, you’ll be able to…
Make big promises to yourself and follow through, not because of perfect memory but because of your system, even if you have no idea yet how you’ll make it happen
Manage multiple projects and roles you play in your life simultaneously, without having to stretch your mental and physical capacity to the breaking point
Gain the sense of determination to make progress on multiple fronts of your life and work in parallel, without the burden of multitasking
Have more of what you want and less of what you don’t in life, pulling your ultimate vision for your future forward in time
Now, what does a system of productivity look like? Let me introduce you to…
Pillars of Productivity: The complete blueprint for modern, digital productivity
Think of your productivity system as a building you’re constructing. There are four pillars at the corners of that building that hold it all together.
Each pillar is a software program – an app – that fulfills a critical function in modern life: a digital calendar, a task manager (or digital to-do list), a digital notetaking app, and a read-later app.
You can offload all the information coming at you (e.g., from emails and many other sources) to those four pillars and resurface it right when you need it.
The Weekly Review ties it all together. It’s your ritual to finish every week with a sense of completion, finality and fulfillment, and start the new week with clarity and purpose, not based on wishful thinking but on thoughtful preparation.
These tools are so powerful, but no one ever really taught us how to use them effectively. That’s exactly what this course is designed to do
From conquering your email inbox to managing your time to taming your to-do list to effective notetaking and content consumption…
You’ll gain a set of powerful tools and habits so you can start every week with the focus you need to do your best work.
I finally created the course I wish existed when I started my career! I couldn’t be more excited to share everything I’ve learned from a decade of my own painstaking trial and error to hopefully save you some of the frustration I’ve experienced.
