Tiago Forte – Pillars Of Productivity
Why Does Your To-Do List Keep Growing, No Matter How Hard You Work?
Distractions, procrastination, FOMO…getting things done is hard these days. We have ALL the digital tools but NONE of the results they’ve promised us.
That’s changing now! Join our new course Pillars of Productivity.
From conquering your email inbox to managing your time to taming your to-do list to effective notetaking and content consumption…
You’ll gain a set of powerful tools and habits so you can start every week with the focus you need to do your best work.
I finally created the course I wish existed when I started my career! I couldn’t be more excited to share everything I’ve learned from a decade of my own painstaking trial and error to hopefully save you some of the frustration I’ve experienced.
This course is not about passive learning; it’s about active implementation! Every one of the eight lessons contains a hands-on instructional video alongside concrete action steps and recommendations for apps and other tools so you can apply what you learn immediately to your work and life.
We’ve also created a downloadable playbook that you can complete on your computer or print out on paper. It contains every single action step, checklist, and resource mentioned throughout the course all in one handy place.
