7 productivity hacks to to save you at least one day per week

Productivity hacks vs occupation

The higher is your level of occupation, the lesser is your level of productivity.

• Occupation is about tasks at hand;
• Productivity is about the accomplishment;
• One thing kills the other.

Most people get it wrong, though.

Productivity hacks versus tasks

Common sense tells us that if you have so many tasks at hand, it's because things are doing great.

Do you feel productive when overwhelmed by tasks?

Me neither.

It's more like:

• Where do I start?
• Where am I right now?
• Where should I go next?

One productivity hack is this:

A pile of bricks can be just a pile or it can be a brand, the difference is in the result.

Productivity hacks versus time

The longer is the time of your occupation, the shorter is your productivity.

Time moves forward regardless of your efforts.

Which looks more productive to you:

• Accomplishing a task in 2 hours;
• Accomplishing the same task in 1 hour;
• Accomplishing the same task in 30 minutes.

The occupation of your time itself doesn't mean you're producing something.

If you set the deadline to 30 minutes away, you have to make the task fits there.

So having deadlines is one major productivity hack.

Deadlines push time against the wall.
