Want to be more productive? Start by changing your perspective.
It might be a controversial opinion, but hustle culture isn’t always “it” if you want to be successful. Instead? Focus on ruthless time management.
Endless nights and fatigue lead to poor decisions and tank productivity. Consistent, high-level strategic execution - developing laser focus and protecting your energy - will deliver far more results than falling into a mindless grind.
1. Don’t be afraid to double-down on your strengths.
2. Learning to say “no” can help you make room for a better “yes”.
3. Fortune doesn’t favor the bold because they’re better, it favors the bold because they’re faster.
4. Be intentional about creating a life that pushes you forward instead of holding you back.
5. Age is never a factor in success. Stop worrying about a number, and start showing up.
6. If you want to build wealth, build networks.
Conversation Starter:
Everyone wants to be more productive, most 99% of people are looking at it the wrong way. Here’s a quick reframe for you:
Stop measuring productivity by volume, and start measuring it by impact.
It feels good to complete a high volume of smaller tasks, but it’s important to ask yourself if they’re actually moving the needle. Busy work is a killer of true productivity.
Take an honest look at your to-do list for the coming week: Are you focused on tasks that are *actually* making an impact? Or are you getting bogged down in busy work?

Any tips on time management, and productive skills?
Ultra-good stuff. Between family, two businesses, and my writing, time management has always been a maddening adventure. As you stated, instinct has been critical to ensuring I am spending the right time in the right place. That instinct led me to an impact focus and things are much better. I just have to avoid the rabbit holes. :-)
