I'm gonna give you the single hack that has made me the most productive in my life. And the nice thing is that actually takes less time than everything else that's gonna give you the routine or productivity efficiency thing. The way it works is you create constraints. And so a lot of us have had to write a paper and you had 30 days to write the paper and then the day before you write it all in one day, which means that if you had to write 30 papers in 30 days, if you had the constraint and you give yourself a day for each of them, you would have 30xed your productivity. And so the goal is by creating constraints, we increased our effectiveness per unit of time. And so rather than create to do this for yourself, create to how long something is going to take and then place them in sequence over your week so that you get so much more done because you have that line. That means that when that line comes, you have to stop.
