Rest is productive - it's the soil in which effort grows.

The world rewards you for value provided, not time spent.

Don't tell me how hard you work. Show me how much you get done.

Reading about how to be productive is nice, but actually doing stuff is what counts.

Prefer action to continuous planning.

Productivity is a means, not a goal itself.

Systems trump willpower; build routines that automate good habits.

Success is about feeling energised and getting results, not just working long hours.

Getting a lot of unnecessary things done is not productivity, it's stupidity.

Ruthlessly cut all the activities in your workday that aren't producing value.

Saying yes to everything is a quick road to mediocrity. Productivity is about attention management.

Do less to achieve more.

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

The most productive people are not the busiest ones, but the ones who protect their time most fiercely.

Being busy is a form of laziness - lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Focus on being productive instead of busy.

You cannot manage time, you can only manage yourself in time.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Productivity is less about what you do with your hands and more about what you do with your mind.

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.
