So this is another episode of Five Lessons,

on this channel where I take useful lessons

and share them with you, and on today's episode,

which is a book that tries to cover productivity

Now, I haven't read a whole lot of other books

I've definitely gotten into more specific books

on things like habits, but I haven't really read

any of the other general productivity books out there

so I can't really make a comparison here.

That being said, I really enjoyed this book

five of the best lessons that I took from it,

which is actually the subtitle of the book:

Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time,

which is that productivity is the product

of managing your time, attention, and energy equally,

and these three resources are vitally important

worked in factories or when they worked on farms,

you did work that wasn't incredible mentally taxing,

didn't require a whole lot of creativity,

and there weren't a whole lot of distractions

so time really was the most important aspect.

But today, more of us are doing creatively

demanding work that requires a lot more knowledge,

requires a lot more brain power, and because of that,

our energy and our attention are just as important

as our time, and I think this is really important

to think about deliberately because time management

is probably the aspect that is most asked about

a productivity problem, it's just as important

to ask yourself, "Am I managing my energy correctly?

"and trying to brute force my way to more productivity?"

And learning this and kind of integrating into your life

from the raw amount of hours you can work,

they're going to make you more productive.

So lesson number one, this is the big overview

yourself more productive, try to consider

So the second lesson that I wanted to share

that make your brain more averse to doing them.

such as it's fun or it's intriguing to do.

So the next time you find yourself procrastinating,

"Is it frustrating or is it unstructured?

"and then tell myself this is the very next step

The third lesson that I took from this book

where both our energy levels and our ability

and Chris calls this the Biological Prime Time,

and he discovered his own Biological Prime Time

through the results of two different experiments.
