The Productivity System No One Cares About

Hey,

I hope all of you are having an amazing start to the week.

Today I wanted to lay out the exact productivity system I implement for all of our clients to ensure their employees actually get shit done.

And no, unlike most other “systems,” this one doesn’t involve 10-hour YouTube rabbit holes or flashy marketing gimmicks.

Which is part of the reason why I decided to write about it in the newsletter.

If I posted about this on social media, no one would fucking care. Not fancy enough.

But this is exactly what you want, something simple.

Because let’s ask ourselves, what do we want to achieve here?

Most of the time, that would be:

1. Get shit done.

2. Get the important shit done.

For some people, this list seems to include spending half their time on fancy systems instead of doing actual work, but that seems like an odd hobby to me.

Anyways, we now know our goal: we wanna get shit done. So how do we achieve this?

Easy, you only have to leverage 3. principles.

1. Simplicity.

Keep things simple. The more complicated your software or systems are, the less likely people are to stick with them. Just use a system that’s easy, quick, and frictionless. Put a big focus on software here, most employees hate the project management software in their company, and there is a reason for that.

1. All in one place.

Force everyone in your company to put every task into your project manager, no matter how small, it has to be added. This is one of the biggest bottlenecks companies have, the human brain is not made to remember a billion different tasks, so people will just forget things. 90% of the time when shit doesn’t get done, this is why.

1. Prioritization.

The best way to power through your todos is when you know you’re working on the most important tasks first.

You can achieve this by manually sorting your to-do list each morning or using Motion, which automatically prioritizes tasks based on due dates, priority, and workload.

If you stick to these principles, especially the second one, you will notice a huge difference.

And now get some shit done.

Cheers,

Tyler
