Day 1: Why I'm Starting to Write Online; 3 Myths and Realities About Productivity
by Selim Uysal

Hey all,

I'm starting Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole's cohort-based course and 30 days writing challenge, Ship 30 for 30. Over the next 30 days, I'll write & publish 30 "Atomic Essays"; short posts around 250 words.

Why I'm writing daily?

Here are a few reasons why:

  1. I want to run this challenge as an experiment.

  2. I want to practice and build in public.

  3. I want to remain consistent.

Over the next 30 days, I plan on writing about Productivity, Personal Knowledge Management, and Personal Growth.

Today's Post:

I also started Ali Abdaal's "30 Day Productivity Challenge ๐Ÿ‘‹". Next 30 days, he'll share some insights and prompts to reflect and practice. Click here - https://30dayproductivity.com - if you want to join meโ€

As I explained in my review of his book Ali has a bit different stance on productivity, he defined it as;

Productivity is about doing more of what matters, and less of what doesnโ€™t.

Here are 3 myths and realities about productivity;

  • ๐Ÿค” Myth #1: Productivity is about doing more.

  • โœ… Reality: Productivity is about doing more of what matters.

  • ๐Ÿค” Myth #2: Productivity restricts freedom.

  • โœ… Reality: Productivity creates freedom.

  • ๐Ÿค” Myth #3: Productivity is boring

  • โœ… Reality: Productivity is most effective when it feels good.
