The biggest productivity mistake I made

Tips and Tricks

The biggest productivity mistake I made was trying to optimize everything.

Morning routines
Productivity apps
Task systems
Tracking tools

I thought better systems would fix everything.

Instead I just created more complexity.

Eventually I switched to something much simpler:

One clear priority per day.

That's it.

If that one thing gets done
the day is a win.

Strangely this made me more consistent than any system I tried.

Simplicity is underrated.
