The most ironic thing is spending your time to maintain your productivity system instead of actually do what you need to do. One trick I like to get myself actually do is the 50 minutes rule.

It doesn't have to be 50 minutes though, you can modify the duration according to your need. Yes, I think the 50 minutes rule is worth a try.

I seem to compile a list in my head and then work through the list. I always end up with the hardest one last and put it off. I might try your idea and throw the list out.

I agree, there are other things we need in order to become productive. I think there has to be a balance between knowing what to do (which is being smart) and actually doing it. When most people just do without knowing what to do (which is not working smart), the emphasis should be on "being smart". When most people know what to do but not actually do it, the emphasis should be on doing. I guess nowadays the second case is more dominant. Thanks to the abundance of knowledge and information, many people already know what to do. The problem is actually doing it. I like this kind of discussion. Thanks, and good luck for your ebook!
