When it comes to sustainable productivity, I often talk about "systems over tools". Without a system, the best tool in the world won’t get you very far. Task management and note-taking apps are good examples.

According to Merriam-Webster, kairos means “a time when conditions are right for accomplishing a crucial action”.

Growth happens when you sleep. Your body doesn’t just switch off; it gets to work.

The best leaders I’ve worked for followed what Mike Fisher calls The New Golden Rule.

I’m a slow runner. Not "slow for a beginner" (I’ve run two marathons). I’m just... slow.

An 8-hour workday doesn’t mean 8 hours of deep, focused work.

Have you ever heard of the Jevons Paradox? It’s the idea that when something becomes more efficient, we use it more, not less.

We all know what it’s like to manage multiple projects at the same time. It’s become a common part of modern work life, and we assume, “This is just how work is.”

One of the mistakes I see most often in people trying to get on top of their workload is reaching for a new task management app, thinking it will solve all their problems.

Did you know the word "priority" was singular for centuries?

If you struggle to say no in the moment, try deferring your decision. Make this your default response:

Sometimes, the final piece of the puzzle—the big project you’re working so hard on—isn’t more work; it’s taking a break.

If everything is urgent, nothing is. We talk a lot about HOW to prioritise. But what about WHAT we prioritise?

The best tools in the world won’t make you more productive—solid systems will.
