Do the work. That's all the productivity advice you need, and the only useful productivity advice you're ever going to get. You can direct your attention to a million optimizations— email, meetings, notes, calendar, time tracking, goals, todo lists, time estimates, prioritization frameworks, quantified self sensors, analytics, apps, documents, journaling. But don't. Ignore all this, and do the work. When you do the work, everything else optimizes itself.

I think this is often people confusing "hard" for "complex". The right way to think about (most successful) startups is that they are simple, but hard.

Yeah people also confuse 0->1 and 1->n. The latter can be very complex, but that’s irrelevant to the former.
