Choosing Your System

The best productivity system is one you'll actually use. Different approaches suit different styles.

Popular Systems

  • GTD (Getting Things Done): Capture everything, process into actionable tasks
  • Time Blocking: Schedule specific blocks for types of work
  • Pomodoro: Work in focused 25-minute sprints
  • Eisenhower Matrix: Prioritize by urgency and importance
  • Eat the Frog: Do hardest task first thing

Factors to Consider

  • How structured do you need to be?
  • Do you have control over your calendar?
  • What type of work do you do (creative vs. reactive)?
  • What tools do you already use?
