I definitely agree that long term follow-ups are important.
For me the best productivity hacks aren't adderall/redbull/caffiene pills, sleep cycling, standing up or locking myself in a hotel room. And it's not knocks on those methods per se, its just that I have a very hard time doing them with enough regularity to be relevant.
The best productivity hacks in my experience are still simply staying positive[1] and hiring interns.

- rednum 14y agoCan you elaborate on hiring interns? I'm doing my second internship at the moment, and it would be interesting to hear some opinions from the employer's point of view.

- itmag 14y agoAnother good one: using social support. Say you want to get fit. It's going to be a lot easier if you recruit your friends to go to martial arts and cook healthy meals in bulk together a few times per week. This can be extended to all areas. Social support lets you put hard work on autopilot. It's still hard work but you have a safety net of accountability which doesn't permit you to slip up easily.
