This is the last year of my 20s. I've made many millions and achieved high levels of physical/mental fitness. These are the 3 essential principles I use for extreme levels of productivity. (book recommendations at the end) Principle 1: Essentialism Do less but better. Once my goals are set, I eliminate EVERYTHING that doesn’t contribute to those. Give yourself permission to stop trying to do it all. Productivity is not how to get more things done but getting the right things done. This will force you to grapple with trade-offs and make decisions that shape your life. Principle 2: The ONE Thing The most valuable part of my entire day every day is my focus block. 4 hours that go toward the ONE most important task I've identified. This is the ONE task that is the most high leverage in pushing my goals forward. Then I spend 30 minutes at the end of this period planning my next day 4 hour block. I would continue to make 90% of my progress in life if I just did this 4 hour block daily. Principle 3: Rest and play Burnout can manifest in 2 ways. -The obvious which is a complete short term crash in productivity -The subtle which is a loss of creativity and drive over a long period of time Given consistency and compound are the secret to long term results. We must avoid this at ALL costs. Rest Essentials - 1 rest day completely off from work - Optimised diet, sleep, exercise, meditation - 2-3 social events every week - 1 form of play in your life. Play must be voluntary, physically and mentally challenging and in a context outside of work. e.g competitive sports, musical instruments, artistic pursuits.
