My 7 key rules of productivity.
To help myself perform at high levels daily with my productivity, I developed these 7 rules and guidelines.
You can perform at a high level:
If you don't think you can be productive, you won't be
If you don't think you can succeed, you won't
High performance comes from abundant self-belief.
Start finding ways daily to build that belief and stack those wins.
Leading yourself is key to performance:
You can read, learn, and attempt to use all the productivity systems in the world.
But if you don't know how to lead yourself or have no self-discipline, no system will work.
Start building your discipline and show up every day.
Master your inner game:
You will hit a barrier with your productivity and performance at a certain point.
The hacks and systems can't help get past deep emotional anchors.
You have to face these emotional issues, defeat them, or be aware of them if you want to succeed.
Link your performance to your strengths:
A trap many fall into is trying to get good at their weakness; this does not improve your performance.
You should be working to improve your strengths, find out what you are good at or what works for you and double down on them.
Focus on what you want, not what you want to avoid:
People avoid the negative but forget to move towards the positive.
You should know what you want to achieve with your increased productivity.
Not being specific on a positive end goal is a pointless waste of energy.
Creativity needs organization:
The more organized you are, the easier it is to be productive.
When you are organized mentally, emotionally, and physically deep work and high-performance flow are much easier to tap into.
This takes planning, but the end results are worth it.
Rest, recharge, refocus:
Hustle culture has infected some people with the idea that to be productive, you must work 24/7. This is bullshit.
Your downtime has to be elite if you want to have elite performance levels. This is a work of art.
Great rest = Great results.
Productivity is about mindset 1st.
Use these 7 rules to give you the right mental structures needed to win.
You will find it much easier to get your work done if you can get them right.
Before using another hack or optimizing your life, make sure you have your foundations.
