@mariahhunter Wait, why has no one thought about this? This is genius. I need this
Here are some tools which I use:
1. Notion: To record and organize all my notes, documents, etc.
2. Pomodoro chrome extension
3. Superlist: To record and manage my todos
4. Calendly, google calendar and google meet to schedule meetings
For me it's having a success partner! Someone that keeps an eye on me and my progress, so I know I'll have to finish my tasks.
@jwurtz i love this one. I have always mistaken myself to be self sufficient but someone being a vigilant partner, makes me way more accountable.
@imraju Awesome! We're actually launching a product in regards to this. We made an App for entrepreneurs to make it easier to find their success partner!

I agree with @umar_saleem and you Raju Singh. The Pomodoro Technique is really useful for staying focused. I also use that method for my work.
I'd say the best system ever is GTD by David Allen.
It is systematic once implemented.
For me it's been not working in my room and forcing myself to go to a place (coffee, hotel) for 4/5 hours
@vicecaz thats unusual. How do you find a quiet place and do you changes places often?
@imraju Is it? It's an advice I implemented after reading "Deep work" where there's many examples given of people going in places where there's no distraction, at all, to work. One of the example used in the book is J.K Rowling booking an hotel room to finish HP's final chapters so that she has no relatives or children around, and nothing else to think of but finishing the book.
I guess it's the same logic behind not working from your bed because it's best to make your brain associate your bed with sleep only, for optimal sleep.
I have two favourite places where I go to based on envy. I tried a few before settling with these 2. But now, I feel like my brain associate these places with efficient work, and it doesn't require a lot of motivation to work when I'm there.
@vicecaz thats very interesting concept. I am not a book buff but i will surely follow through this concept and find out more. Thanks for bringing this up.
@alvarovillalb_ great choice. I player around with Obsidian lately and its a great choice as well. Try it!
This discussion introduced me to Pomodoro and the first article I looked up described it as: The secret to effective time management is...thinking in tomatoes rather than hours.
I think I'm gonna follow through, lol!
making lists but also making sure you review them everyday to reflect on what was accomplished and what wasn't..and why/how
