      What is Productivity, Really?

      The pace of our everyday lives is increasing all the time. We’re facing more and more demands on our time and energy and less and less time to fulfill those demands. It’s easy to, as a result, get caught in the frantic trap of busyness, which saps our attention and time away from those goals we should really be focusing on.

      This cheat sheet will show you (without any fluff and with actionable advice) how to protect your focus, manage your time, and manage your energy so that you can perform at your peak productivity and accomplish those things that are most important to you. From goal setting and prioritizing, to selection of mental models, to minimizing distractions and entering a state of flow, to using creativity and innovation to propel yourself forward, you will find in these pages everything you need to eliminate unnecessary timesucks and zone in on the tasks and projects that are most important in helping you achieve your goals.

It follows, then, that one can improve his or her productivity by either (1) increasing the value create using the same amount
