Recap: Productive Environment
And so we come to the end of another Supermorning chapter: Productivity.
Over the past week, we looked at four ways to tie together insights from this chapter into an environment that makes inspirational levels of productivity fully automatic.
Let’s check out the summary.
The checklist
- The perfect working environment.
- Remove all friction from the process of adding value. Your work space should be perfect.
- Line up a wide range of creative relaxation mechanisms to keep your mind fresh and healthy.
- Digital mastery.
- Install RescueTime to protect yourself against the horde of digital distractions out there.
- Intelligently add and remove friction to make good digital actions natural and bad ones tedious.
- Efficient collaboration.
- Use email sparingly, turn off those distracting notifications, and keep your inbox clean.
- Block off focused work in your calendar and employ reminders to achieve 100% reliability.
- Proactive workload shaping.
- Master the “art of no” to maintain a manageable workload of agreeable tasks.
- Always be on the hunt for meaningful work containing complexity, autonomy and a link between effort and reward.
Sustainable productivity is essential for fulfillment and self-esteem in the individual and for progress in society. Mastering this art is a win for you and all those around you.
