A decision-making matrix, Microsoft gives advice, an exclusive interview with Toplyne founder and more..
Hello
PotterArrowhead! 👋 This is Devyani with this week’s edition of your ⚡️Productivity roundup⚡️! We give you the good, the great and the remarkably useful insights from your favorite leaders and experts 🙌
What has the world been tweeting about? 🐦
Focus Daniel-san!
Remember how we used to use that neon highlighter on our history books, to keep a spotlight on the most important things? Yeah, that's what we gotta do in our daily lives too. Just don't end up colouring everything yellow :) Nice thought right? Well, there are 5 more, just like this. So check out the entire thread.
Lost and Found
That is why memories are the most expensive diamonds. In this never-ending and cutthroat race, the significance of pitstops is criminally underrated. A fact you realise only after crossing the finish line. Run fast, just not blindly 💛
The Great Wall of Art
Oh distractions, thou art a heartless fish. Just let me work dude, why you gotta spring up notifications on my face. That's it, I'm closing the door on you. Yeah that's right. I'll leave you hanging, build a systematic ladder for myself and achieve what my goals. You wait and see. Pheww, deep breaths 😌
You love me? 🥺👉👈
Turn off the notifications, they create distractions, they don't let you do deep work, etc etc. Yes, yes and yes. But who else is gonna melt my heart 😭. Coz it's either mom or Swiggy. Thank you for asking guys, it means a lot
Lazy or just plain crazyy?
Okay first of all, damnnn! And second of all, wasn't it illegal to drop bombs? Coz Miss Fifi is dropping truth bombs everywhere. That unsettling guilt that doesn't let you reset is the villain guys. Don't let it overwhelm your breaks. Your worth so much more than you realise. Cherish that, you red-hot bowl of cherries 🍒
The (Productivity) Matrix Reloaded
Mr Eisenhower, you are the true MVP. The 4 Ds of a stress-free and max-productivity life. Do what you gotta do, don't do what you don't have to. The rest is just intermediary stuff. So simple and yet, we struggle. At least with concepts like these, we can get some clarity. Also, everything's better with colourful pictures, isn't it? 🌈
Block it to save it
"And protect it." Damn right you should. You're the best person to take care of your career. But who's gonna take care of you when you're too busy, reaching out for the stars? You only, Einstein. You cannot hire a nanny. Be the nanny.
Enough Slacking off
The primary collaborative communication channel for most of the established companies out there, Slack has already smoothened the workflow of professionals ever since its inception in 2013. Well, diamonds can always be shinier 💎. By the way, Slack shortcuts and reminders are godsends 😇.
Just 5 eternities more
Relatable to the extent that you see yourself as this cutie doggo. Come on, who are these psychopaths, getting up at 8:57 AM. You gotta wait till 9 AM brother, that's who God intended it for us. You have our complete support doggo, let the ship sail at 5. (What you're smelling is some elite-level sarcasm).
Quote of the week
Some people think they are in community, but they are only in proximity. True community requires commitment and openness. It is a willingness to extend yourself to encounter and know the other.
By David Spangler, American spiritual philosopher.
