A New Effective Productivity System

The 3 Rules System
​

I've struggled a lot in the past with trying to figure out WHAT to work on to move me forward.

The reason WHY is because I couldn't see what had to be done right in front of me. Things would just keep popping up in my head and I would scatter my focus trying to do 5 things at once, ultimately getting nothing done.

But after realizing recently that working on the MOST IMPORTANT ONE THING is the goal, I set a system in place that helped me instantly. I'll call it The 3 Rules System

Here's what I did:

On a white board, I made boxes for every area of things I'm trying to accomplish. For example I run a marketing agency for my income and I have goals for audience building on my social media.

I made a column for social media and I made a column for my agency

Then, in those columns, I wrote down EVERYTHING that needs to be done for each of those things to move forward.
For example, if I want new clients for my marketing agency, I need to do manual outbound. If I want to get a new YouTube video out, I need to script, record, then edit it.

After I could SEE everything that needed to be done right in front of me, I decided to make RULES for this system that must be followed.. These rules are based on having 2 4 hour deep work sessions per day.

Here they are:
Rule #1: You can only choose one category per deep work session
Rule #2: You can only choose one thing within each column to maximize on for each deep work session
Rule #3: The only way you are allowed to advance to a new task is if you completely finish the first task

If you do 2 deep work sessions per day, maybe try to work on one thing in one column and one task in that column, and then do the same for ANOTHER column in the next deep work session.

Utilizing this has been helping me a lot..

I hope this helps!
