Live a Well-Designed Life Quality of Life

Are you thinking of upgrading your productivity systems?

Productivity isn’t about doing more; it’s about making more use of your time. And to be productive, you need to have a good system in place.

To upgrade your systems, ask: ⁠

  • ⁠What’s annoying about how I capture my ideas, thoughts, notes and tasks?⁠
  • What’s frustrating about organising my ideas, thoughts, notes and tasks?⁠
  • How am I struggling to take action on my ideas, thoughts, notes and tasks?⁠

A few little changes that I’ve made have been:⁠

  • Scheduling in restorative rest (the *energy-giving* activities) amongst work and getting things done (the *energy taking* activities) – the keyword here is SCHEDULING. Treating restorative tasks like they are non-negotiables has been game-changing. ⁠
  • Making a point to plan my week ahead with the version of me that I want to embody ( ask: is the best version of yourself always reading a book? going to the markets? how does she make sure she feels cute every day? where does she spend her time?)⁠
  • Creating accountability in my life
  • Accepting that some tasks are going to be “someday” tasks (that to do that’s been on your list for five months isn’t getting done anytime soon – either take action on it or move it to your someday list and let it go)⁠
  • Getting help – hiring has let me move away from tasks I’m not good at/that I don’t enjoy * at all *.⁠
  • Organising my lists a little better – I can filter my lists by urgency, energy and context, helping me to better plan my weeks and get things done.
