<div>I recently sat down with Eric to record a 2-part video interview with him. In the first part, we discuss mindset and philosophy. And in the second part we look at the specifics of the productivity system he uses.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>how to be a productivity ninja pdf free download</div><div></div><div>Download File &#9734; https://t.co/YjbnHljfx2</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The recurring comparisons to a Ninja makes recollecting and relating the concepts of this book easy. I chose to retain the image of the ninja in my mind as I go through the chapters and the information falls into neat little bins.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You need zen-like calm. Remind yourself that, even if you are a ninja, you are human. You are in a world where work never ends and our memory cannot keep up with the amount of information generated. So the only way to forge ahead is to devise a system to handle both and trust it implicitly.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Graham Allcott is a self-confessed late comer to the productivity game. It was something he was really bad at, so he put some time and energy into getting really, really good at it. Now he runs Think Productive, a training business that teaches his techniques to workplaces all around the globe.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Modern knowledge workers communicate constantly. Their days are defined by a relentless barrage of incoming messages and back-and-forth digital conversations - a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect, and so nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. There was a time when tools like email felt cutting edge, but a thorough review of current evidence reveals that the "hyperactive hive mind" workflow they helped create has become a productivity disaster, reducing profitability and perhaps even slowing overall economic growth.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Most think productivity is just about getting more done at a faster speed. But it's not. Productivity is about getting the right things done. New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt has created a total productivity system that's much more than endless box checking. Proven by more than 25,000 professionals, this system helps overwhelmed leaders achieve what matters most so they can succeed at both work and life.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. Hyperfocus provides profound insights into how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In the age of information overload, traditional time management techniques simply don't cut it when it comes to overflowing inboxes, ever-expanding to-do lists and endless pointless meetings. Thankfully there is a better way: the way of the productivity ninja. Using techniques including ruthlessness, mindfulness, Zenlike calm and stealth and camouflage, you will get your inbox down to zero, make the most of your attention, beat procrastination and learn to work smarter, not harder. Written by one of the UK's foremost productivity experts, How to be a Productivity Ninja is a fun, accessible and practical guide to staying cool, calm and collected, getting more done and learning to love your work again.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In my book, one of the ninja traits is unorthodoxy, and I think that for me a lot of those hacks are really about just thinking about doing things in a slightly different way and maybe not using that most direct route but finding a little shortcut or finding something that feels like, this is an unusual way, but it actually might work.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Those are all of the characteristics of the productivity ninja covered in a nutshell. I hope this has inspired you as much as it did me to get productive in some way, shape or form.</div><div></div><div>Thanks for reading. If you have any feedback for me, it will be gratefully accepted [email protected]</div><div></div><div></div><div>One of the main reasons that an email inbox becomes stressful is that your brain is trying to use the inbox itself to perform too many different functions. Having too many folders is bad for productivity because it creates unnecessary thinking work.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Time management courses are a waste of time. Or are they? In a recent webinar, Sally Marshall and Claire McMillan, Talent Development Managers of international law firm Dentons, encouraged us to think about attention management instead. During the session, they provided an overview of useful books, showed us how to identify tasks which sabotage your working day, and finally, outlined ways of maximising our own productivity.</div><div></div><div></div><div>That's where Graham Allcott comes in: a British expert on productivity and time management, Allcott stresses the value of mindfulness in everyday interactions, and lives by a mantra of making small, incremental changes.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Unusually for someone whose job is to give pep talks and motivational speeches, Allcott is not a larger than life personality. Having had the opportunity both to interview him one-on-one, and to see him in action in front of a room full of consultants recently, it's clear that he's not trying to set himself up as yet another one-man productivity personality cult: he doesn't walk into the room promising to change your life, or unveil a list of suggestions about how to outsource your responsibilities so you can spend more time on the beach.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The advice he gave to the gathered consultants during his presentation, meanwhile, is similarly practical, and free from over-the-top promises. Based on his book, it boils down to a series of "ninja traits" for achieving better workplace performance. Here are a few of the highlights:</div><div></div><div></div><div>Graham Allcott is the founder and CEO of Think Productive, a time management training company, the author of How to Be a Productivity Ninja, and the presenter of Beyond Busy, a podcast about productivity, work-life balance, and success.
