This list is pretty basic, and the tips work: I would expect most people interested in productivity (a lot of people on this site) to scan the list and nod their head to each one—“yep I know that”.
So if you read this and are surprised at any point, or think “I’m not sure if I do that” then you should pay attention, because there’s low hanging fruit to be picked in productivity.
Interestingly, the blog author misses a big one, which is captured in the Charlie Munger quote: self-improvement has big returns, and you should spend a substantial amount of time on it.
I’ll also paraphrase the five items: know what times of day are your most productive times; get the right amount of sleep; find ways to reduce distractions and external noise; take advantage of your setting (at my desk, in bed) as a cue; and work on things you’re passionate about.
