Ridiculously Simple Productivity
I’m not a person who believes in New Year’s Resolutions. I think they’re hanging an unrealistic promise that’s tied to an arbitrary date on a calendar that is doomed to fail the minute you make it. So, I don’t do it.
I do have goals of course, but they have nothing to do with where the sun is or how much time I spend awake in pursuit of them. Living the life GaryVee would like you to live will result in a psychotic break, I’m convinced of that. Additionally, only Tony Robbins knows for sure what’s going on in his head, but it’s damn sure not happening in mine.
Over the past year, I’ve been working on trying to figure out my wiring. Specifically the part of my brain that can recall song lyrics immediately but forget anything I’m supposed to be doing, and how best to remind myself to do those things. I’ve tried Brendon Burchard’s High-Performance Planner, I’ve tried to use Evernote as a Journaling System, I’ve tried Ryder Carroll’s Bullet Journal Method to Track my days and the stuff I need to do. I’ve tried David Allen’s GTD Method. I’ve tried getting earlier in the morning than I normally do so I can attempt to plan my day before others plan it for me. I’ve tried a bunch of other things I’ve picked up here and there and while I’m sure these things work for other people, they just don’t work for me because every single one of these methods make things WAY more…
