- chuckcode 11y agoLike this list, very practical and pragmatic. Although normally reddit is not a place to go for increased productivity I thought PeaceH's guide for disciplined[1] was very helpful and provided a useful framework. - Action: Get stuff done with focus, this is the part that most people think about when they say productive - Reflection: Have a clear vision of what you want to do and refine it as you go along - Influences: Interact and learn from others. Talk to people, read, give presentations, etc. I see lots of people focus only on action and never make time for reflection and influence as they aren't obviously checking things off the todo list.

- ak39 11y agoNumber 11! Just that! I've noticed that when I fix my sleeping, I am less wasteful, less tired, less distracted and ultimately less anxious about my lack of productivity. The truth really is that we will never finish our respective "baking". The freagin' cake will always need some final touch or a redo! It never ends. Stopping for the day and believing that you deserve your rest for the next 8-9 hours is what I define as productivity.
