I got this book [0] by Mark Forster [1], tried the techniques and found out what works for me. It is a gold mine.

The author describes in his blog [2] many more of his ideas and experiments about productivity.

Thank you for recommending this book. Started to read, seems like very different from other productivity books and useful.

I am glad you found it useful!

Thank you, what techniques resonated with you?

For me, simplicity and reduction of resistance [0] were the most effective improvements. Mark is always kind enough to explain the psychological underpinnings of productivity, or its absence.
