Thanks Dawud for the great list. I especially like #56, prioritizing your to-do list. It’s important to know what to work on first, not just how to get a lot done.

I will definitely be checking some of those recommendations out. I have read #118 and it really helped me get my butt in gear.

great links from Ben Yoskovitzâ€™s ..like Mack I too am burned out by all these techniques on what you should or should not do. I need it as simple as possible and not overly complicate things. I need to do more in order to get more.

Very impressive list, however I would prefer a little bit more action-items. I work for myself, therefore it is highly important to me to learn what really takes most of time of my productive life. I.e. I used to have problems with projecting the amount of time I need for my tasks. So instead of using only organizer I started using nozbe.com. I kept my usual to-do stuff and forecasts in nozbe.com and used my offline calendar only AFTER I completed task – so that I could have the ” planner ” and the ” timesheet ” separately. Over a few weeks I was able to make corrections to my ” it should take only 5 minutes ” approach. This helped me a lot with better judgement of my perceived and actual productivity. I sincerely recommend it to anyone who has similar approach and then ends up working late, late nights to finish off some projects!

This is quite the list. One that tops some of the finer efforts I’ve come across in surfing the internet. 137 links equates to a lot of reading, and I feel the way to approach this is to break it down into bite sized chunks and to read one or two a day. It will still take a good two months, but at the end of that your productivity should be at an all time high, or something is seriously wrong with you!

My approach to prroductivity is simple – Do It Now!

Great list – lots to go through! My biggest productivity killer is distractions. It took me a long time to learn that I had to jealously guard my time – i.e. no calls, emailing, FB, etc. during peak work time.

Number 53 was extremely enlightening to me. Most of these are actions to be taken but that was an angle I hadn’t thought of… changing your mindset by basic thought reprogramming!

Agreed. Thanks for the post. You have a nice take on the subject and I will be looking forward to more. I have bookmarked the site, the list is so long it willl take me forever to go through them all so I will just pick one or two.

For me, the biggest motivator is getting away from the computer! In this day and age those little monsters can suck us in and have us doing unproductive tasks (chatting, etc) for hours and before we realize it the day is spent and our to-do list is still populated!

In order to remain productive, I close the laptop lid, and start attending to tasks, chores, and the small things that make up a good life.

As a long-time work-from-home technical writer, my best advice is stay off the internet and stop reading this silly lists. Then maybe you’ll get some work done!

I agree with the 31st point… because it reminds me of one saying “productivity comes by leveraging the time by doing the most important thing…”

Wow I admire your own productivity doing or having this whole set of list. Rebecca Morgan’s article is the first one I’ve read because I saw her comment, It’s short and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing the list, it is very very useful.
