Productivity without burnout: 5 habits that survive years
Forget the 4 AM hustle. The systems that actually compound.
1. Time-block instead of to-do
A to-do list with no time block is a wish list. Calendar > Notes.
2. The 90-minute rule
The brain peaks for 90 minutes, then needs a break. 4 deep blocks of 90 minutes = a perfect day.
3. One thing per day
Each morning, pick one outcome that makes the day a success. Everything else is bonus.
4. Weekly review
30 minutes every Friday: what worked, what didn’t, what’s next week’s one thing.
5. Boring infrastructure
Sleep, water, walks, no afternoon caffeine. Sounds boring — doubles output.
