If you want to be more productive, one of the most common solutions out there is to use a productivity system.

There is this promise that once you have the system and the tools just right, you are able to get a lot more done, be free from suffering and achieve whatever you want, while enjoying the process at the same time.

But is it really that simple or is it overhyped? And if it is the magic solution we are all looking for, how can everyone build one of these as fast and easy as possible?

That was the question I asked myself four years ago. Since then, I have obsessed over productivity systems every day, so much so that I wrote and self published a book about it. Now you will hear the story of productivity systems, how you can quickly build and evolve your unique one the easiest way possible and also have the strategies to stick with it long term.

The origin of the productivity system

The need for a productivity system started to arise after World War 2. Technology was booming and because of the tensions between West and East, producing more and better was highly desired.
