Stop Building Systems You Don’t Use

Everyone’s obsessed with building the perfect productivity system.
Color-coded tags. Beautiful dashboards. A new tool every quarter.

But here’s the truth:
If you don’t use it daily, it doesn’t work.

You don’t need a better system.
You need a simpler one you’ll actually touch when you’re tired, busy, or unmotivated.

Start here:

  • One Master List somewhere you can access quickly and easily (dump every to-do, idea, task there)

  • One Power List on paper (3-5 priorities max for the day)

  • One Weekly Review (10 mins on Friday—what worked, what didn’t, what’s next?)

That’s it. That’s the real system.

Stop optimizing. Start executing.
