The 6 Core Principles behind an effective productivity system
I have spent a lot of time thinking about productivity and productivity systems. I am not alone in this. Last night I watched Ant Man & The Wasp — somehow this one had skipped me by and I hadn’t seen it before. It got me thinking, if we were take our productivity system into the Quantum Realm, to see the core of what any system is built from, what would we find? Yesterday I posted about Grace & Humility and I believe these are at the heart of it but from this I have written down the 6 Core principles behind an effective productivity system. These are more abstract principles that create framework that everything else is built from and built on.
I will write them out here as I wrote them out for myself 2 years ago. Each principle consists of short statement and a follow up statement.
Core Principle 1
Keep It Simple
- avoid complexity just for the sake of it
Core Principle 2
Keep intentional/planned
- avoid distractions and learn to say no
Core Principle 3
Focus on serving others
- selfishness is at the heart of sin
Core Principle 4
Focus on core values
- discern what is important, reject everything else
