I just found out about this meme and, even if it’s kinda late (over two weeks), I’m joining it… What’s this meme about? Well, it’s simple: what’s the greatest productivity tip in the world?
I’ll be fast and simple:
Do something you like
Just like that. You can be a productivity genius, know all the tricks to do stuff, having all the habits for that, creating all the energy and measuring all the metrics, but if you’ew not doing something you really like, it will NEVER work.
So, before starting to go too deep into doing, do yourself a favor and analyse what you really like to do. It will all be simpler from that moment.
That was my advice. I will take the liberty to tag Nuance Labs, Slacker Manager, and one of my fvaourite programmers, Bargiel, the creator of my productivity application of choice, iGTD.

Couldn’t agree more.
. And I think it’s lacking in a lot of the world today, though.
“People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true. And the reason is because it’s so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up.” – Steve Jobs at D5
Derrick, nice quote. Reminds me why I hate doing so much stuff…
