Yet another productivity system that won’t work for you!
Maybe?
I relentlessly chase the productivity pegasus. I’ve tried many focus techniques and failed fast.
This time, It’ll be different. 🤞
Why?
- I have ADHD; I must calm the beast.
- Achievement and data are my drugs. 💉
- I feel the need, the need for speed.
- I have 999 problems.
I solve my problems by creating two new problems as a distraction.
The Big Picture
Here are my system components.
- Use the 18 Minutes framework focusing on no more than five initiatives
- Schedule time to focus on work.
- I do Deep Work
- Celebrate Wins! 🥳
- Rinse Repeat!
Use your preferred tools to follow this guidance, but I recommend a Kanban board.
My Workflow
I use Trello to manage my workflow.
I’ve used Trello since 2020. I dump ideas, do work, and keep myself honest with it.
I use two Kanban boards to support my workflow; among 50+ boards, I recommend using fewer boards; I have a problem.
Action & Schedule
My Action Board includes randomly generated tasks flowing from the abyss of consciousness.
| In Progress | Recurring | On Deck |
|---|---|---|
| Listen to Your Strategy Needs A Strategy | Lift weights for thirty minutes | Deploy Wekan |
| Etc. | Etc. | Etc. |
Action Kanban Board
My Schedule Board includes scheduled tasks linked to my Action Board.
| Advance Fundamental Knowledge | Improve Family Health & Education | Increase Order | Create Canzan Lift | Create Canzan Core Platform & Business | Guides |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Listen to Your Strategy Needs a Strategy | Lift weights for thirty minutes | Adopt the 18 minutes framework | Build architecture diagrams | Evaluate Wekan | My Principles |
| Etc. | Etc. | Etc. | Etc. | Etc. | Etc. |
Schedule Kanban Board
I use the Copy & Link Trello plugin to copy & link tasks from my Action Board to my Schedule Board.
I use the 18 Minutes technique to plan my year.
I schedule recurring tasks alongside other tasks.
I use the Pomodoro technique.
I use OKRs.
I consistently learn how to prioritize more effectively.
