Productivity Hack: Is it about doing 'More' or doing 'Better'?

Key questions I want to crowdsource:
1. How do you define true productivity?
2. What's your most counterintuitive productivity technique?
3. Have you ever achieved MORE by deliberately doing LESS?
Looking to have a discussion on conventional wisdom and build something that helps knowledge workers reclaim their time and energy.

Great topic you've got here! Here's my take:
1. For me, true productivity is all about impact and not just output. It's less about checking tasks off a list and more about accomplishing goals that matter.
2. One technique I've found surprisingly effective is the "2-Minute Rule." If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. Sounds simple, right? But it stops small tasks from piling up!
3. Absolutely! I've noticed that when I focus on fewer tasks and prioritize them, I actually get better results. It's like decluttering my workload allows room for more impactful work.
I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts and experiences. Let's help each other reclaim our time! 😊

I prefer doing better over doing more
Great points! My 2 cents: 1) Productivity is ultimately about making meaningful progress towards your goals, not just being busy. 2) I like to focus on my 3 MITs (Most Important Tasks) each day. Narrowing it down helps me prioritize what will really move the needle. 3) Another tip - take regular breaks! Stepping away gives your mind a chance to recharge so you can come back sharper. Would love to hear what productivity hacks work for others!
Great question! Here's my take: 1) I think the key is focusing on high-impact tasks that move you closer to your most important goals. Prioritize those 'needle-moving' activities. 2) Another helpful mindset shift is from 'doing more' to 'being more effective'. It's not just the quantity of work but the quality and impact. 3) That said, productivity systems and hacks can help - I'm a fan of time blocking my calendar to ensure I devote focused chunks of time to priority projects. Would love to hear what's worked well for others!
For me, true productivity is not just doing more，it’s all about getting the right things done, and doing them well.
One of my productivity hacks is actually scheduling time for rest. I know it sounds odd, but giving myself breaks or even a day off helps me come back refreshed and more focused when I dive back into work.
