My writing is based on a video I watched on youtube. The only I do is summarize all content and facilitate people to get to know more about the way we can do to cultivate our productivity.
Productivity is effective movement. It’s running in the right direction for the longest distance. It’s about making the greatest progress towards your goals in the shortest amount of time
The hidden formula is based on a simple equation:
d=vT=DLYnt
d: distance, v: velocity, T: time, and another set of variables
You’re an organism with a limited amount of energy that you can spend each day. As you go about your day—moving, thinking, acting—this energy bar is slowly draining. So learning to use your own internal energy is critical to being productive, and the best way to leverage your energy is by performing what I call Sprints. Sprints are time-bounded work sessions that require intense focus, active participation in an activity, and pushing yourself beyond your current limits. Every sprint has 3 key components: distance, velocity, and time, and I’m going to break down each one
1. Distance
Distance is the measure of your productive output. Our goal is to increase the distance we run with each Sprint, and there are two ways to do this: increase our velocity or increase the time we work for. You can experiment with the number of sprints you do in a day and how long you do them until you find a mix that works for you. I kept a consistent regimen, and I always ended my workday with some energy left in my tank when I knew how I would continue my story the next day. By ending in a place where you know what step to take next, you’ll build anticipation that will let you hit the ground running on the next day.
Remember: Discipline, not motivation, leads to consistent results, and discipline depends on thoughtful experimentation, self-awareness, and self-respect. We have to discover how much we can push ourselves, finding a healthy balance between being too hard and too lenient.
2. Velocity
Obviously, before you get moving, you have to decide which way you want to sprint. The direction you run in is often more important than how hard you run.
There are two components to deliberate practice: action and feedback. The goal is to take action and then get feedback by comparing your action to the ideal action.
The key to rhythm is creating the right conditions to allow yourself to enter a state of flow. Flow is a state where your focus is pointed, singular, and unbroken. The key to creating a state of flow is to remove things that break your focus.
(1) Remove all external distractions from your environment.
(2) Work on something in alignment with your highest value. The more meaningful you find the work you do, the more important you feel it is, the less likely you are to let things pull your attention away from it.
