Productivity can be a struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why it’s important to find the right productivity style for you.

There are many ways to work more efficiently. The good news is, you can try them out and find what works best for you.

The most popular productivity systems include The Eisenhower Matrix, The To-Done List and the To-Don’t List, Getting Things Done (GTD) and the Pomodoro Technique.

Other equally effective methods are The SMART Method, Timeboxing, Biological Prime Time, Personal Kanban, Getting Things Done, and Eat The Frog. Every productivity method is designed to help you do one thing: get more stuff done faster.

Most productivity methods may not work for you if you ignore your personality’s impact on your outcomes.

Knowledge of what drains you, feeds your focus, distracts your concentration, time of day you work best, and the environment that supports deep work can improve your productivity significantly.
