The ultimate productivity hack: Focus on what matters
The key to productivity? Ignoring almost everything. Instead of spreading yourself thin, do less to achieve more.
Unproductive vs productive word-users
Unproductive word-users
- Chase every opportunity like a distracted squirrel.
- Jump at every notification like it’s an emergency.
- Try to be everywhere online but make no real impact.
- Jump onto every new shiny object like fleas jumping onto every new passing dog.
Productive people
- Have a vision of where to arrive on purpose when all is done.
- Tune out the distractions and focus only on what matters — their vision.
- Master one platform instead of juggling many.
- Build intentional, meaningful connections.
Winning on LinkedIn
- Craft a clear message that stands out.
- Engage with intention—no more mindless scrolling.
- Build a targeted network that benefits you.
- Many successful professionals have skyrocketed their careers by dominating LinkedIn rather than trying to be everywhere.
- It’s not about being visible everywhere, it’s about being impactful somewhere.
