Being organized is not the same thing as being productive

Being organized is not the same thing as being productive.

It does, however, make being productive less stressful.

The trap with waiting to be organized is that it can sometimes be an excuse not to do the actual work.

People wait until they find the “perfect setup” to start making & shipping stuffs. They believe that if they find just the right system, with just the right todo app, and calendar technology, and a beautiful bullet journal, they will automatically be super productive.

Here’s the thing — No matter how efficient your task management system is, the most it can do is make is easier for you to be productive.

You still have to convince yourself to get up and do the damn work.
