Hello Friend đź‘‹

This week, I want to share some fascinating productivity insights and practical tools that can make your work life smoother and more enjoyable.

âś… The Menu Principle: A Fresh Take on To-Do Lists

I recently watched an insightful video by time management expert Oliver Burkeman that introduced a game-changing perspective on to-do lists.

Instead of viewing your to-do list as a burden that needs to be completed all at once, treat it like a restaurant menu:

  • You don’t order everything on a restaurant menu at once.
  • Similarly, you don’t need to tackle every task simultaneously.
  • Your to-do list becomes a collection of possibilities rather than obligations.

📅 Justin Welsh’s Weekly Review Framework

Justin Welsh shared an excellent set of questions he asks himself every Friday to optimize his upcoming week:

  1. What can I remove from my calendar?
  2. What on my calendar can be automated?
  3. What on my calendar can I delegate?
  4. Is there anything that’s not important?
  5. Can any meetings be 50% shorter?
  6. How can I get off the computer more?
  7. How can I maximize fun time?
  8. Is there anything missing?

🧑‍💻 3 productivity-boosting tools and tips, (primarily for Windows users)

1. Google Docs Quick Access

Pro tip: Type “docs.new” in your browser’s address bar to instantly create a new Google Doc. Check out the post Top 10 Google Docs Tips for Productivity, from Jeff Su.

2. Windows Clipboard Manager

For Windows 10 & 11 users: Access your last 25 clipboard items by pressing Windows + V. Pinned items persist even after restart.

3. Flow Launcher

Think of it as Windows’ answer to Mac’s Alfred. Press Alt + Space to quickly search through files, bookmarks, and even YouTube videos.
