21 Tips to Become the Most Productive Person You Know

I wanted to help you create explosive productivity so you get big things done (and make your life matter). Here are 21 tips to get you to your best productivity.

#1. Check email in the afternoon so you protect the peak energy hours of your mornings for your best work. 

#2. Stop waiting for perfect conditions to launch a great project. Immediate action fuels a positive feedback loop that drives even more action. 

#3. Remember that big, brave goals release energy. So set them clearly and then revisit them every morning for 5 minutes. 

#4. Mess creates stress (I learned this from tennis icon Andre Agassi who said he wouldn’t let anyone touch his tennis bag because if it got disorganized, he’d get distracted). So clean out the clutter in your office to get more done. 

#5. Sell your TV. You’re just watching other people get successful versus doing the things that will get you to your dreams. 

#6. Say goodbye to the energy vampires in your life (the negative souls who steal your enthusiasm). 

#7. Run routines. When I studied the creative lives of massively productive people like Stephen King, John Grisham and Thomas Edison, I discovered they follow strict daily routines. (i.e., when they would get up, when they would start work, when they would exercise and when they would relax). Peak productivity’s not about luck. It’s about devotion. 

#8. Get up at 5 am. Win the battle of the bed. Put mind over mattress. This habit alone will strengthen your willpower so it serves you more dutifully in the key areas of your life. 

#9. Don’t do so many meetings. (I’ve trained the employees of our FORTUNE 500 clients on exactly how to do this – including having the few meetings they now do standing up – and it’s created breakthrough results for them). 

#10. Don’t say yes to every request. Most of us have a deep need to be liked. That translates into us saying yes to everything – which is the end of your elite productivity. 

#11. Outsource everything you can’t be BIW (Best in the World) at. Focus only on activities within what I call “Your Picasso Zone”. 

#12. Stop multi-tasking. New research confirms that all the distractions invading our lives are rewiring the way our brains work (and drop our IQ by 5 points!). Be one of the rare-air few who develops the mental and physical discipline to have a mono-maniacal focus on one thing for many hours. (It’s all about practice). 

#13. Get fit like Madonna. Getting to your absolute best physical condition will create explosive energy, renew your focus and multiply your creativity. 

#14. Workout 2X a day. This is just one of the little-known productivity tactics that I’ll walk you through in my new online training program YOUR PRODUCTIVITY UNLEASHED (details at the end of this post) but here’s the key: exercise is one of the greatest productivity tools in the world. So do 20 minutes first thing in the morning and then another workout around 6 or 7 pm to set you up for wow in the evening. 

#15. Drink more water. When you’re dehydrated, you’ll have far less energy. And get less done. 

#16. Work in 90 minute blocks with 10 minute intervals to recover and refuel (another game-changing move I personally use to do my best work).

#17. Write a Stop Doing List. Every productive person obsessively sets To Do Lists. But those who play at world-class also record what they commit to stop doing. Steve Jobs said that what made Apple Apple was not so much what they chose to build but all the projects they chose to ignore. #18. Use your commute time. If you’re commuting 30 minutes each way every day – get this: at the end of a year, you’ve spent 6 weeks of 8 hour days in your car. I encourage you to use that time to listen to fantastic books on audio + excellent podcasts and valuable learning programs. Remember, the fastest way to double your income is to triple your rate of learning. 

#19. Be a contrarian. Why buy your groceries at the time the store is busiest? Why go to movies on the most popular nights? Why hit the gym when the gym’s completely full? Do things at off-peak hours and you’ll save so many of them. 

#20. Get things right the first time. Most people are wildly distracted these days. And so they make mistakes. To unleash your productivity, become one of the special performers who have the mindset of doing what it takes to get it flawless first. This saves you days of having to fix problems. 

#21. Get lost. Don’t be so available to everyone. I often spend hours at a time in the cafeteria of a university close to our headquarters. I turn off my devices and think, create, plan and write. Zero interruptions. Pure focus. Massive results. I truly hope these 21 productivity tips have been valuable to you. And that I’ve been of service. Your productivity is your life made visible. Please protect it. Stay productive.

REMINDER: JUST BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS, “LAZY,” YOU DON’T HAVE TO STUDY AT ALL. THAT’S INCORRECT. I’m not the “model student” everyone wanted to be, but these made my grades better.

High school is the best thing that happened in my life. I don’t know about the others’, but it’s the most fun part of being a teenager.

These tips are kind of weird in a way. Please do take note that these tips worked for me when I was in high school, but I’m not quite sure if it will work for you as well. Not sure if this will work for college also. Just want to share, I guess.

Discipline and time management. Make the good things you do become your habit.

Know the perfect time and place for you to study. You know yourself better than anyone else. Relax yourself first as you get home. Watch anime, series you like, play some music, draw, take a nap, run. Don’t let stress take over you. Alarming your phone in that ‘study time’ will be helpful as well.

Test yourself on what kind of learner you are. My research teacher let us take this exam to know ourselves and make our grades better. And heck, now I know what to do to understand everything that I’m learning. I’m putting the test links here: (x), (x). There are a lot more online tests around, but here’s the easiest and quick. Tell me what you got! I’m a visual learner.

Get lots of sleep. At least 8 hours (I say, as I only got 5 hours of sleep in those days.) This is the most important thing. At least try your best to sleep a lot or else you’ll get a headache throughout the day and you will not be able to be attentive.But don’t overdo it! If you sleep too long, then you’ll feel sleepy in class, too. That’s bad.

Know your lessons and topics and lectures as if you’re going to be the teacher of your classmates. Teach them if they question you about it. Draw them the diagrams, write the keywords on a paper like you memorized them last night and give it to them. If they get a high score as well in the test and they thank you for that as if saying, “Thanks to you, I got this good score!” then that’s a bonus. That’s the best feeling ever!

Experiment. Those studying tips that are telling you to do this and that so you can memorize the thing better? Use sticky notes? Use washi tapes? Try, good, but get to know yourself on how to make your own system. Not every single thing you see on Tumblr or articles throughout the internet will work for you. Sure, the system works for them, but how about you?If you’re flexible enough, then maybe you can do the system as a habit.

Know your teacher’s style of teaching. This is a bit difficult to explain but I guess you got the hint. Get to know them and observe how they teach you and your classmates. Be attentive. Do they get the questions from the book? From a site? Do you need to give extra attention in their class? And many more.

Finish your tasks no matter how lazy you are to do so. At least try. Find inspiration. I once attended a leadership seminar and the speaker talked about accepting responsibilities and tasks as a leader, and he said that you should accept them because they give them to you because they know that you can do it. They gave it to you because you’re good at it–no, the best to do the task. This comes with group works as well. The leader gave this task to you so that the “product” of your work will be the best. So don’t complain all the time. It doesn’t help, I tell you.

Surround yourself with people who like/pressured/grade conscious people who can be happy-go-lucky at the same time.Yes, there are people who are like that. But why? You’ll get pressured to study as well. Be stressed with school together. We’re all in this together, dude!

Do what you enjoy. Remember this. You like watching tv? Do it. Going to Tumblr? Do it. Don’t force yourself saying, “Doing these things will bring my grades down so I won’t do this,” because that’s wrong. Do what you like in a CERTAIN SCHEDULE. Don’t just stop doing something that you love just because you think that grades are everything because no. You’re young. School is just a part of your life and it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Have a crush on someone. Well, wow. It worked for me when I’m in school, believe it or not. Find someone you like. Make your crush an inspiration for you to go to school / uni because they are going to be there and you’ll see them. Finish your homework and notes and studies everyday with thinking that, “Tomorrow, this person will be there and I’ll see them in my class. I’ll make them proud of me and recite in discussions and finish this test with a BAM. I’ll get the highest score. I know about this topic a lot. It’s my time to shine.” And it will be like hitting two birds with one stone: 1) Your crush will probably notice you as a hardworking, bright student (oh my) and 2) You get high grades. So get them! I’m not very sure about getting into relationships, though, since I have never been in one. However, I had these two classmates who got the best of test scores all of a sudden when they got into a relationship because they have a reason to go to school and study a lot! Remember rule #1. Make sure that you are disciplined to do this or else you will get distracted from your studies. Relationships and crushes are cool, but don’t let them get in the way of your academia.

For more follow How To Study Quick!!

1. It’ll get tough. Really fucking tough. You already knew that. But that’s life, accept it. Put away the books for an hour, drink some tea, cuddle your pets, stare at the ceiling, watch some Youtube videos, and then finish your homework. 2. There will be a lot of days where you wanna quit or can’t get out of bed. Don’t call in sick and don’t drop out. You can do this, you can survive this year like all the others. 3. Enjoy learning new things. Knowledge is power, knowledge is sexy. 4. Don’t pay attention to others, you are here for you, nobody really pays attention to others anyway. 5. Be nice to teachers and help fellow students. Kindness makes life so much easier. 6. ASK THINGS. Ask the most stupid questions and ask the hardest. Just ask anything you want to know. Teachers think you’re dumb? Fuck them. Students laugh at you? Fuck them. YOU need to pass that class and YOU need that degree. 7. Make your lunch the evening before if you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. Breakfast helps you start up your day. If you don’t have time to eat at home, make some for in class. 8. Go to bed early. A good night’s rest is everything. It’ll make getting out of bed a lot easier. 9. Always carry a water bottle with you. ALWAYS. 10. Take a deep fucking breath. It’s all going to be okay. Take a few steps back and look at your situation with a clear view. Realize how far you’ve come already. Be proud of yourself. Celebrate small victories. You are doing okay.

10 steps on how to survive another year of school. (via everything-studyblr)

Do yourself a favor. Learn to code. Here's how.

I’ve said this to my non-techie friends countless times. It’s no secret that being able to code makes you a better job applicant, and a better entrepreneur. Hell, one techie taught a homeless man to code and now that man is making his first mobile application.

Learning to code elevates your professional life, and makes you more knowledgeable about the massive changes taking place in the technology sector that are poised to have an immense influence on human life.

(note: yes I realize that 3/5 of those links were Google projects)

But most folks are intimidated by coding. And it does seem intimidating at first. But peel away the obscurity and the difficulty, and you start to learn that coding, at least at its basic level, is a very manageable, learnable skill.

There are a lot of resources out there to teach you. I’ve found a couple to be particularly successful. Here’s my list of resources for learning to code, sorted by difficulty:

Novice

Never written a line of code before? No worries. Just visit one of these fine resources and follow their high-level tutorials. You won’t get into the nitty-gritty, but don’t worry about it for now:

Dash - by General Assembly

CodeAcademy

w3 Tutorials (start at HTML on the left sidebar and work your way down)

Intermediate

Now that you’ve gone through a handful of basic tutorials, it’s time to learn the fundamentals of actual, real-life coding problems. I’ve found these resources to be solid:

Khan Academy

CodeAcademy - Ruby, Python, PHP

Difficult

If you’re here, you’re capable of building things. You know the primitives. You know the logic control statements. You’re ready to start making real stuff take shape. Here are some different types of resources to turn you from someone who knows how to code, into a full-fledged programmer.

Programming problems

Sometimes, the challenges in programming aren’t how to make a language do a task, but just how to do the task in general. Like how to find an item in a very large, sorted list, without checking each element. Here are some resources for those types of problems

Talentbuddy

TopCoder

Web Applications

If you learned Python, Django is an amazing platform for creating quick-and-easy web applications. I’d highly suggest the tutorial - it’s one of the best I’ve ever used, and you have a web app up and running in less than an hour.

Django Tutorial

I’ve never used Rails, but it’s a very popular and powerful framework for creating web applications using Ruby. I’d suggest going through their guide to start getting down-and-dirty with Rails development.

Rails Guide

If you know PHP, there’s an ocean of good stuff out there for you to learn how to make a full-fledged web application. Frameworks do a lot of work for you, and provide quick and easy guides to get up and running. I’d suggest the following:

Cake PHP Book

Symfony 2 - Get Started

Yii PHP - The Comprehensive Guide

Conclusion

If there’s one point I wanted to get across, it’s that it is easier than ever to learn to code. There are resources on every corner of the internet for potential programmers, and the benefits of learning even just the basics are monumental.

If you know of any additional, great resources that aren’t listed here, please feel free to tweet them to me @boomeyer.

Best of luck!
