The Pie-Chart Method: Hack Your Productivity

If productivity is challenging with all the different pursuits vying for your attention, you’re in the right place. In this episode, we’re contesting the “just work on one thing at a time” rule because it doesn’t align with our nature – at all. Instead, I introduce the concept of flexible structure and unpack the Pie-Chart Method for managing multiple projects effectively.

The Pie-Chart Method uses the Four P’s:

• Plugging the time holes,
• Picking your projects,
• Picking your productivity system, and
• Prioritizing your time on the calendar.

 

I delve into these steps, starting with plugging time holes via time tracking. Next, I discuss picking your projects by allocating your time into five “pie” slices, acknowledging the different aspects of your life. Finally, I’ll help you choose the right productivity system, whether batching, the School Day Method, or something else that suits your unique style. Lastly, I discuss how whitespace can help you protect time for what truly matters.

The task manager that I use is Nozbe, and my notes app is Notion. Both are the bomb dot com.
