If you talk about productivity, you are often speaking to a group of people who are already well versed in the nuances of the productivity space and discussing the nuances of any particular system can feel like cult-like. It can be intimidating for people interested in beginning their journey towards adopting a more productivity-focused mindset and toolbox to discover why or where to begin. The first question I recommend anyone ask is: why should I be interested in productivity systems at all? I answer this in my first of a series of articles written to give an introduction to productivity systems and help anyone develop a system that meets their own needs.
