My Actual Productivity Routine (It’s Made Me Millions)

Summary

• I dedicate one day a week, Mondays, to what's called a "manager day".
• On manager days, I schedule as many meetings as possible because I can't do deep work if I have even one meeting.
• For the rest of the week, I keep my days completely free of meetings so I can focus on creating things. When I create, we make money.
• To ensure maximum productivity, I schedule meetings from the end of the day backward, leaving as much time in the morning as possible for focused work.
• Combining these strategies, I maximize my time by allocating specific days for management and specific days for deep work.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a "manager day" for one full day each week. By dedicating an entire day to meetings and administrative tasks, you can bunch them together and get them out of the way. Mondays could be ideal since it's the beginning of the week.

For the rest of the week, keep your days free of meetings. Focus on creating and doing the work that actually drives your business forward. This could mean writing, designing, strategizing, or coding, depending on what your business needs the most.

To make sure you maximize your productivity, schedule meetings from the end of the day backward. For instance, start with a 4 PM meeting, then a 3 PM meeting, and so on. This way, your mornings and early afternoons are entirely free for focused work.

Combining these strategies will allow you to make the most out of your time. Deep work days are crucial for creating high-value outputs, while manager days help you manage and plan without eating into your productive time.

By simply restructuring how you allocate your time and schedule meetings, you can drastically increase your productivity and ensure that you're focusing on tasks that bring the most value to your business.
