You can't rely on motivation

You can’t rely on motivation to crush your to-do list.

The real key to productivity?

Experimenting with *many* different mental models and finding what works for you

There’s no one-size-fits-all method – but here’s what I’ve found works for me ⬇️

The first step is capturing everything on my plate in a system 👩‍💻

I use a mix of GTD (getting things done) + agile methodologies – both of which break down projects into smaller, manageable tasks 📝

Next, I prioritize using the Pareto Principle and Eisenhower Matrix

These help me figure out what needs to be prioritized – and I always tackle the biggest hitters first 🎯

Finally, I execute my tasks using the Pomodoro technique and timeblocking deadlines.

I work on consistently achieving flow + creating moments for deep work 🧘‍♀️

If you’re new to mental models, give these a try + see what works for you.
