I'd say the best system ever is GTD by David Allen. It is systematic once implemented.

Hands down, it's the Pareto Principle or the 80:20 rule for me.

For me it's been not working in my room and forcing myself to go to a place (coffee, hotel) for 4/5 hours

@vicecaz thats unusual. How do you find a quiet place and do you changes places often?

Victor Detraz @vicecaz

@imraju Is it? It's an advice I implemented after reading "Deep work" where there's many examples given of people going in places where there's no distraction, at all, to work. One of the example used in the book is J.K Rowling booking an hotel room to finish HP's final chapters so that she has no relatives or children around, and nothing else to think of but finishing the book. I guess it's the same logic behind not working from your bed because it's best to make your brain associate your bed with sleep only, for optimal sleep. I have two favourite places where I go to based on envy. I tried a few before settling with these 2. But now, I feel like my brain associate these places with efficient work, and it doesn't require a lot of motivation to work when I'm there.

I agree with @umar_saleem and you Raju Singh. The Pomodoro Technique is really useful for staying focused. I also use that method for my work.

For me it's having a success partner! Someone that keeps an eye on me and my progress, so I know I'll have to finish my tasks.

Raju Singh @imraju

@jwurtz i love this one. I have always mistaken myself to be self sufficient but someone being a vigilant partner, makes me way more accountable.

This discussion introduced me to Pomodoro and the first article I looked up described it as: The secret to effective time management is...thinking in tomatoes rather than hours. I think I'm gonna follow through, lol!
