PRODUCTIVITY BOOTCAMP EP.1 -- This is the first part of a series on productivity basics. Subscribe for more!
Takeaway: don't store anything in your head ever again.
Step 1: Get a system
Step 2: Start filling it and commit to never think "oh I'll remember this" again
Step 3: Build in moments to force yourself to use it in order to start a new habit

New here? I'm posting a weekly video on productivity. I'm a big fan of GTD and I can't stop reading and learning about optimizing your life to work smarter.
In normal life, I'm working at Blendle. Blendle is the best way to read and discover journalism. You can check it out here: blendle.com/

I'm sure you have a list of things you want to talk about, but here are some subjects I find interesting and I'd like to see you talk about more:
- interruptions (getting in/out of flow)
- distractions (other stuff is better/more fun to do)
- granularity and wording of tasks (breaking it up into actionable parts)
- picking the best first step
- making lists of lists, keeping overview
- time management (pomodoro or anything else)
- defining clear goals
- bad actors/office politics (handling human obstacles)
If possible, it would be great to show how some of these are tackled at Blendle. I really like what Springest is doing with their holacracy videos. Gives a fun insight, just like some of your videos.

Love your blokker extension in Chrome! Besides that, I'm starting using Instapaper. Thank you for the great insights again.
