In this article…

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about productivity.

This is probably because I hate wasting time, but partially because I’m taking a risky turn in life.

Maximizing my output has become more important in line with the higher stakes I’ve set for myself.

Spend two minutes scrolling through the Twitter-Reddit-YouTube-IG sphere, and it’s clear that productivity is a topic of widespread interest, so I felt inspired to share how I stay productive.

Before getting into the obligatory “hacks” list, let me say this: all the productivity hacks in the world don’t really matter if you’re working on the wrong thing or are not interested in what you’re doing.

Unless you’re superhuman, it’s nearly impossible to give it everything you’ve got when you’re working on something you don’t care about.

Motivation is extremely sensitive to interest in both directions.
