“Productivity hacks are a lot of things. Some of them are bad. Like getting stuck at a party with the noisy lifehacker guy who tries to sign you up as a card-carrying member with every second word. Like the crystal-worshipping, zen-manager 2.0, who blogs about how he has reached productivity-Nirvana since using his hacks. Sorry, love to talk, but you’re boring me.
I spent two days with Curtis who thankfully is none of these things. Quite the opposite in fact. He helped me get started, understand it and most importantly realise that it’s actually pretty simple. Yes, it will help you stay organised; Yes, it will allow you to manage your life better and yes it is a bit of a ‘philosophy’. But the best thing for me was being able to stay focused on the things I really want to focus on. These days, I don’t get distracted by all the other ’stuff’ because I just deal with them when I need to. And that is a lovely feeling.”
