Common Productivity Mistakes You Might be Making

>>> Thread <<<

Apply these to significantly improve productivity.

#6 alone will turn you into a machine.

1. Over-Planning

A man without a plan will almost always get nowhere.



But while you do want to narrow it down as specific as possible.



People often get too caught up at this stage and spend the majority of their time trying to perfect the plan.
Which ultimately leads to them not doing any of the work.



Pick one skill, one destination, and go.



Optimize as needed.

There is no such thing as perfect, it does not exist.
2. Planning too much

Your to-do list should not have 20 items on it each day.

Nobody has the capacity to do that many quality tasks.



Adopt the Jeff Bezos style:



3 big tasks each day, 3 decisions to make, as early as possible in the day.



That’s it.
Focus on quality rather than quantity.
3. Not systemizing daily routines:



Thing’s that are part of your everyday routine can be systemized.



By doing this you have less thinking and planning to do.



For example, you know you have to do an hour workout every day.
Have a system in place where you hit the gym as soon as you wake up.



Have your workouts planned and ready.



Just hit go and get to work.



Fewer decisions, more brain capacity for the main tasks you need to do later in the day.
4. Not using caffeine properly:



Caffeine is an amazing nootropic if used properly.



Somewhere along the line, it became a social thing and people just drink it to drink it.
By doing this you build up a tolerance and will not have the same effects as if only used caffeine when doing your big tasks of the day.



For example, I only drink coffee right before I’m doing my big work of the day.

The work that requires the most brainpower.
5. Multitasking:



Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can perform at the top quality when you are trying to do multiple things at once.



One task. 100% focus.



This is the only way you should be doing your major work.
Anything else and you are just not functioning at peak performance.
6. Leaving Notifications on



The most common and WORST thing you can do for your productivity



Every time a notification drops in, you lose your whole train of thought.
Nothing drains brain power like having to constantly check notifications when trying to do work.



TURN THEM OFF.



All of them.



You can survive for 2 hours without a dopamine hit.



This alone will skyrocket your productivity.

Try it and see for yourself.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."


We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
