Many people struggle with productivity, especially in the age of constant distractions and changing demands. They try to manage their time, but they end up feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted. The problem is not time, but mind. Time management techniques are outdated and ineffective for creative work. What we need is a new approach: mind management.
In this book, you will learn how to:
– Quit your daily routine and use the hidden patterns all around you as launchpads to skyrocket your productivity.
– Do in only five minutes what used to take all day, by leveraging your subconscious mind and the principle of activation energy.
– Overcome writer’s block and other creative challenges, by learning from the 19th century’s most underrated scientist and his timeless lesson.
– Wield all of the power of technology, with none of the distractions, by using an obscure but inexpensive gadget that may be the shortcut to your superpowers.
– Keep going, even when chaos strikes, by tapping into the unexpected and finding your next big idea in the midst of uncertainty.
Here are 20 important lessons to learn from this book:
1. Being productive today isn’t about time management, it’s about mind management.
2. Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy.
3. Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you’ll have a book. But you can’t instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result.
4. The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project.
5. If you start your day working on the most important thing, there’s less of a chance for other things to get in the way.
6. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically.
7. The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life.
8. A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education.
9. When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks. If you’re doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction.
10. A Harvard study found that the busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were.
11. Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively. Studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation.
12. Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.
13. Your subconscious mind is your passive genius. It can do your best thinking when you’re not even thinking.
14. Activation energy is the amount of energy it takes to start a task. The lower the activation energy, the easier it is to start.
15. You can lower the activation energy of a task by breaking it down into smaller steps, preparing your environment, and using triggers and cues.
16. Technology can be a powerful ally or a dangerous enemy. It can help you access information, communicate, and create. But it can also distract you, interrupt you, and addict you.
17. You can use technology as a tool, not a trap, by being mindful of how you use it, setting boundaries and limits, and choosing the right devices and apps for your needs.
18. An e-ink device is a simple but effective gadget that can help you read, write, and think without distractions. It has a paper-like display that is easy on the eyes, and a long battery life that lasts for weeks.
19. Chaos is inevitable and unpredictable. It can disrupt your plans, ruin your work, and stress you out. But it can also be a source of inspiration, opportunity, and innovation.
20. You can embrace chaos and use it to your advantage by being flexible, adaptable, and curious. You can also create your own chaos by experimenting, exploring, and exposing yourself to new experiences.
