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.
