The longer you look for a way to be more productive by learning everything under the sun, the longer it’ll take for you to actually get off your ass and do it.

So if you've been following me for a while, you'll know that I hate using the word productivity, and there's a lot of reasons for that.

One of the main reasons is that I believe productivity is actually a lie. I'm going to mute my phone for a second.

There's a lot of productivity people, gurus, specialist, experts who talk about productivity, but in their terms, you have to use that app, you have to use their workflow, you have to use this system, their special system.

And I think productivity is more to do with you effectively getting off your ass and actually doing something.

It's got nothing to do with not necessarily workflows or someone else's workflow. It's always good to look at someone else's workflow to see how they work. But people selling their workflow as a product, I think is just wrong and it just, it won't work.

I've been in this space for, I would say, around about 10 years. And I've seen so many people come and go, effectively grifters, who try to sell their way of working.

Sometimes it works, sometimes people buy into it and, you know, think it's great and they'll have testimonials on their websites. But overall, I think it's bullshit. I really do.

I think, again, productivity is to do with you, not how, someone else works again taking someone's part of someone's workflows, fine. But I think it more comes down to you and the technology you use.

You know that I change and swap apps all the time, now I wouldn't recommend that for everybody, I do it because I need to know what's out there.

But the reason that I can do it is not because of the app or a specific workflow but more to do with the fact that I know how I should work how I work so going from notes to base camp.

I used Asana before I used to Todoist before. Tick, tick touched a little bit. But I would never, never force anyone to use a specific app.

And I think productivity people who try to do that are basically just trying to bum off someone else's app to get you to use how they work.

For me, today, for instance, I'm just chilling. You know, I do most of I get, here's the thing, I get up at around about 10 or 11. Sometimes I get up earlier.

I walk, Woof!, hey Woof!? We've just actually just come back from a walk. I do some client work. I work on my business. I work on other stuff.

I do everything and I'm pretty much finished at around about three or four o'clock. Obviously, I'm recording this video a little late. It's because I don't have, I'm not busy.

I hate being busy. I rather just go with the flow. I have goals and I have aspirations. I know I don't want to scale. I know I only need to make a certain amount of money per month. I know I need to talk to my friends, etc.

So I get those things done within that time frame, within that day. But most of the other time that I have, I chill, I relax.

Life is for living, not for productivity all the time, not for hustling all the time.

It's just crazy to me that these productivity people are selling something that I just do believe it's a falsehood. It just doesn't work.

Just go out and enjoy your life. Do the things that you need to do. Get off your ass and get some shit done. Instead of thinking, oh, I need to pay X amount of money for this course, for this PDF, for this bullshit.

That just will not work.

If they're not working with you one-on-one, it's never going to work. It's just the way it is.

Anyway, I'm going to go and edit this video. I'm going to relax and then walk Woof! again.

See you next time.

Hey Woof!.
