Struggling to get things done?

I’m no Elon Musk-
But 18 years in the corporate world taught me a thing or two.

These 3 productivity hacks NEVER failed me.

━━━━━━━━━━━
1- The Sunday Routine
━━━━━━━━━━━
7 years ago, my boss’s boss shared his routine-

Every Sunday evening,
He would check his agenda for the upcoming week.

Initially I didn’t get it.

But years later I understood-
It’s not about being addicted to your job
It’s about mentally preparing yourself for what's next.

Anticipating and preparing yourself saves you time (and sanity).

━━━━━━━━━━━
2- The Two Minute Rule
━━━━━━━━━━━
When I've first heard about David Allen’s Getting Things Done rule-
I put it on a post-it in front of me.

It's as simple as it sounds:

If an action can be done in two minutes or less-
Do it right away.

I love it because:
• it’s applicable in any context
• something gets done immediately or forever forgotten
• puts off the “I will do it later” trap as a decision needs to be made right away

The efficiency cherry-
If the action takes longer to write and track than doing it, you are wasting time. Just do it.

━━━━━━━━━━━
3- The Meeting Skeptic
━━━━━━━━━━━
I love challenging meetings.
And this is how I do it.

I decline meetings without:
• defined objective
• expected outcome
• unknown contribution

When I send an invitation, I ask myself:
• can it be an email
• am I ready or need to finish my work beforehand
• what do I need from the attendees to make progress

But the rule above all-
Never stop asking if a meeting is the best use of your time. Make your time count.

━━━━━━━━━━━
Read all the way to the end?
━━━━━━━━━━━
Wait patiently until tomorrow-
When Part II will follow
With MORE hacks.

Until then-

Please consider:
1- Liking
2- Commenting
3- Following me

And if you need help falling back in love with your 9-5, send me a DM.
I will teach you all my productivity and focus tips to make it feel like a honeymoon.

I don’t need another app. I need clarity.
Here’s what actually changed everything 👇

I tried them all—Notion, Trello, Asana, Miro.
Built dashboards. Tagged everything. Organised all.

They looked amazing.
But they never stuck.

Because the problem wasn’t the tool.
It was trying to force a system that didn’t fit me.

Not how I should work.
How I actually work.

The game changed when—
I stopped chasing perfect productivity and started designing personal clarity.

Now my system is:
• Simple
• Flexible
• Based on energy, not schedules

And the best part?
It doesn’t matter where it lives.
What matters is it works underneath.

Clarity first. Tools second.

✨What's one thing that made your system stick?
I'm curious—drop it below.

@davidwatson999 Good to read you again :-)
So many rules, hard to keep up 😅

[Rux R. 🚢 @Choco_Rocks]

@AlexAndBooks_ Ah no 3!
I still feel bad writing/highlighting on books. Trying to change it but still couldn’t find the heart to do it… feels like I’m ruining them.

[Rux R. 🚢 @Choco_Rocks]

Starting to feel like a pizza? 🍕
I was.

Meetings. Deadlines. Notifications.
Even dinner decisions were taking a slice.

I was getting things done—
But it didn’t feel good.
It felt scattered. Overwhelming.

That’s when I realized:
Productivity wasn’t the problem.
Alignment was.

[Rux R. 🚢 @Choco_Rocks]

@Eric_Partaker Happy to see Kanban made it to the list. It’s only
life changing :-)

@umangv_ @petergyang @MavenHQ I’ve been playing with @EthanEvansVP AI and it’s been gold. I highly recommend it, precious actionable advice behind.

You don’t need more productivity tools.
You need a system that matches your brain.

Follow @choco_rocks for more sticky-note clarity.

Your life. Your system 😉

I love GTD.
But I could never make it stick.

Until I made it visual—
and combined it with Kanban.

That’s when everything changed 🧵👇

[Rux R. 🚢 @Choco_Rocks]

Here’s what shifted:
✅ My tasks got clearer
✅ My priorities got visual
✅ My energy got protected

No hacks.

Just a system that fits how I work.
AND respecting my:
- time
- context
- and energy.
