If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Welcome to another issue of PCI Weekly, the newsletter that helps you become more powerful, creative, and influential in life and business through the study and application of NLP, Personal Development, and related disciplines.

This week’s newsletter is all about productivity. It seems like these days, everyone is trying to get more done in less time. According to goremotely.net back in 2021, the average worker has increased their productivity by 253% in the last 7 decades. Keep in mind that this was well before the AI explosion started by ChatGPT.

While increasing the number of things we get done does have its merits, it is far better to approach productivity from a balanced perspective. Sometimes, doing fewer things can lead to greater productivity. Or perhaps, doing different things entirely.

To help you maximize your productivity in a sustainable way, we’ve curated a set of articles that offer different viewpoints on productivity.

Here are the articles we’ll be sharing with you:

• How I Get Things Done

• "Productivity" Tricks for the Neurotic, Manic-Depressive, and Crazy (Like Me)

• How You’re Killing Your Productivity

Let’s dive in.
