The only productivity hack that ever worked for me on a multi-year basis was just to do what is intensely interesting to me. Everything else will fall by the wayside sooner or later. There has been no magic in finding those things either. It has been luck of the draw. Though they're usually challenging and provide near endless amounts of novelty for years on end. Once the novelty or challenge wears off the spell is broken.
- nefitty 6y agoGood point. I've recently gone from "management techniques" to cryptocurrency trading, to systems thinking, and so on. It's a good point that a lot of the things that catch me have some promise of making me more powerful (intellectually, materially, socially, etc.) and along that path it is an intense ride of novelty. Besides constant novelty, have you noticed any other similarities amongst the areas that hook you?
