There are four steps in the productivity flywheel that work together to build momentum - action, time, ideas, and tools.

The Flywheel Effect was popularized by Jim Collins in his classic book "Good to Great". He describes it as a consistent process of turning the flywheel until breakthrough momentum is achieved and then easily maintained (because of sheer momentum).

There is a similar effect in productive work, and using the flywheel over and over again will lead to incredible momentum and confidence. Here is how it works...

Action: how you get things done
Time: how you focus your attention
Ideas: how you organize information
Tools: what you use to do the work

When you go through this flywheel loop it gives you clarity and generates momentum and confidence the next time you start a goal. For example, if you want to start a YouTube channel in 2022...

Action: checklist to film and edit a video
Time: blocking 2 hours on Tuesday and Thursday
Ideas: my list of ideas and video outlines
Tools: camera, editing software, thumbnail designer

You can do this for any goal or project you have! In fact it's so flexible you can use the flywheel for daily work. The GAP Method you learned on Monday is a version of the flywheel - it helps you define the week's goals, actions, and protected time.

Breakthrough productivity is not a single project, goal, or day - instead it's the consistent progress of stacking great days. Join me for the Productivity Power-Up starting January 10th, 2022 - and let's make this your most productive year ever!
