The Reason People Fail at Productivity (And The Easiest Way To Become a Master)
Everybody wants to improve their productivity over night.
They want to start going to the gym five days a week, after five years of never going.
They think they’ll be able to read through a book in two sittings, even though they haven’t held a book in their hands in years.
They believe it’s possible to write 10,000 words a day, despite having not put pen to paper since they were a child.
When it doesn’t happen this way, we give up. We remain unproductive and disappointed in ourselves.
What if instead of going from zero to ten in 24 hours, you built momentum?
You start to go to the gym one day a week.
You read three pages in your book.
You write 300 words.
Building momentum can be applied to almost anything productivity related, and gives you a higher chance of succeeding. After a week or so of following through on these new habits of productivity, you start to say to yourself:
I feel great after my gym session, I think I might go again this week.
I’m not ready to close my book, I’m going to finish this chapter.
Three hundred words isn’t enough, I’ll keep writing.
Start small, then build up.
Don’t overcomplicate the ease of increasing productivity.
