How to Build Your Ultimate Productivity System

📚 Pre-order my book to get an exclusive ticket to The Feel-Good Productivity Annual Planning Workshop in January 2024! https://www.feelgoodproductivity.com/...

The whole point of a productivity system is to get your life in order and free up valuable brain space. No one wants to be spending tons of time organising emails or searching for a book quote that they forgot to highlight.

There are broadly three levels of building an ultimate productivity system: keeping your life in order, capturing new info, and creating a system around it. You can stop at layer one or use all three. I cover it all in more detail in this video, including suggestions for apps that I like to use daily.
