My Productivity System in 2026

My Productivity System in 2026

After years of experimenting, I've settled on a simple system: weekly reviews, daily priorities, and a single trusted capture tool.

The Core Principle

The best productivity system is the one you actually use. After trying GTD, Zettelkasten, and every todo app available, I came back to something embarrassingly simple.

The Weekly Review

Every Sunday I spend 30 minutes asking three questions:

  1. What happened last week that I didn't plan for?
  2. What didn't get done and why?
  3. What are the 3 most important things next week?

The Daily 3

Each morning I pick 3 tasks that, if completed, would make the day a success. Everything else is a bonus.

Capture System

I use a single notes app for everything: shower thoughts, project ideas, meeting notes. The important thing is that the capture is frictionless.
