Productivity Needs Environment Upgrades
- Productivity often fails when you only try to work harder; upgrading one or more environments can make goals easier to reach.
- Marla Cummins introduces Thomas Leonard's nine environments as levers to change outcomes beyond willpower.
Start By Upgrading Your Body Environment
- Prioritize basic body care because sleep, nutrition, hydration, and exercise directly affect ADHD symptoms and productivity.
- Marla frames the body as the first environment to upgrade, like fueling a car to go farther.
Play To Strengths And Outsource Weak Follow-Up
- Lean into strengths and passions instead of over-focusing on weaknesses to increase follow-through and enjoyment.
- Example: Marla describes Josh, a networker who hires help for follow-up so he can keep what energizes him.
