Chris Bailey joins Zachary to discuss his productivity “experiments” (including A Year of Productivity), the rule of 3, the power of intention and the pitfalls that come from relying on coffee & caffeine.
Cheat Sheet
- Why being intentional and deliberate about what you do is the same as being productive. (hint: it’s not about how much you do, it’s about how much you accomplish)
- How to get the most out of caffeine through strategic use and alternatives to coffee and energy drinks.
- Chris’s three ingredients for productivity:
- Energy: the fuel you burn to be productive
- Attention: the ability to focus on one thing
- Time: the schedule for the most important things
