Hello Friend π
This week, I want to share some fascinating productivity insights and practical tools that can make your work life smoother and more enjoyable.
β The Menu Principle: A Fresh Take on To-Do Lists
I recently watched an insightful video by time management expert Oliver Burkeman that introduced a game-changing perspective on to-do lists.
Instead of viewing your to-do list as a burden that needs to be completed all at once, treat it like a restaurant menu:
- You don't order everything on a restaurant menu at once.
- Similarly, you don't need to tackle every task simultaneously.
- Your to-do list becomes a collection of possibilities rather than obligations.
π Justin Welsh's Weekly Review Framework
Justin Welsh shared an excellent set of questions he asks himself every Friday to optimize his upcoming week:
- What can I remove from my calendar?
- What on my calendar can be automated?
- What on my calendar can I delegate?
- Is there anything that's not important?
- Can any meetings be 50% shorter?
- How can I get off the computer more?
- How can I maximize fun time?
- Is there anything missing?
π§βπ» 3 productivity-boosting tools and tips, (primarily for Windows users)
1. Google Docs Quick Access
Pro tip: Type "docs.new" in your browser's address bar to instantly create a new Google Doc. Check out the post Top 10 Google Docs Tips for Productivity, from Jeff Su.
2. Windows Clipboard Manager
For Windows 10 & 11 users: Access your last 25 clipboard items by pressing Windows + V. Pinned items persist even after restart.
Think of it as Windows' answer to Mac's Alfred. Press Alt + Space to quickly search through files, bookmarks, and even YouTube videos.
Have a productive week!
