What is your biggest barrier to being more productive?
Good morning, everyone,
A shorter newsletter today. This week, I started working on my first online course, tentatively titled "A Day in the Productive Life." It takes many of the case studies, articles, and pieces of advice that have been featured in the this newsletter over the past year and presents them as a series of strategies for building the perfect workday.
Of course, the perfect workday doesn't exist, which is why the course, as I'm envisioning it, is set up as a flexible playbook type of program. Instead of me telling you exactly how to use Getting Things Done or which software to use for your task list, my course will help you tailor any workday to the pillars of creative and productive work practices. That's my aim anyway!
In the meantime, I'm using the new Question of the Week feature to ask for your input on how the course might help you:
