7 Best Productivity Systems That Helped Me Increase My Focus & Productivity

Before diving into these 7 Productivity Systems, let’s talk about What are productivity systems?

Productivity systems are methods and tools that assist you in getting things done efficiently.

They don’t do the work for you, but they help you organize and prioritize tasks and your well-being, resulting in more productivity at a given time.

• For instance, productivity systems help you with:

• Breaking down projects into smaller, manageable steps.

• Focusing and avoiding distractions.

• Goal setting.

• Organization and workflow.

Let’s explore the seven productivity systems I use and how they help mYour1.

1. Turn Your Smart Phone Into a Dumb Phone

Do you use your phone or does it use you?

Create a modern dumb phone" with these steps:

1. Remove unnecessary apps from home screen

2. Put your device in grayscale

3. Turn off non-emergency notifications

4. Use an app like Opal to add friction

2. Time Blocking

Allocate specific time slots for your tasks throughout the day.

By dedicating focused periods to each task, you can minimize distractions and stay on track.

3. Visual Timer

Using a visual timer in tandem with your time-blocked schedule is a powerful reminder to stay on task.

It also leverages Parkinson's Law: work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion.

4. The 80/20 Rule

The biggest waste of time is working hard on something that doesn't matter.

Focus on the 20% of tasks that yield 80% of your results.

Prioritize these activities to make the most of your time and effort.

5. Batch Processing

Attention Residue:

When your attention is shifted, there is a "residue" that remains from the prior task

and impairs your cognitive performance on the new task.

Avoid this by batching similar tasks together.

6. Automate/Delegate

7. End each day with an After-Action Review

Close your work day with a quick review of what went well, what didn't, and how you can improve.

This builds momentum and fine-tunes your approach over time.

Try this:

Ask yourself three questions:

1. "What did I accomplish?"

2. "What could I have done better?"

3. "What should I adjust for tomorrow?"

By implementing these systems, you’ll find yourself achieving more in less time.
