Some productivity rules & hacks

1. decide what’s important

In 5 years, 80% of what you are doing today will not turn into anything. Most of what you spent your time on right now is just busywork and has no useful outcome.

2. Prioritize health (food, sleep and exercise)

Taking care of those basics can help you triple your outcome because they increase your focus, motivation and energy levels.

3. The 2-Minute Rule

If you can do something (such as writing a quick email reply or a house chore) in 2 minutes or less, do it now. Planning it for later, remembering it and doing it in the future will longer than taking care of it instantly.
