  1. The parking lot practice - Productivity doesn't have to happen in a perfect environment. Take advantage of small pockets of time like waiting in your car to get things done.

  2. The minutes mindset - Think in terms of minutes rather than hours. Use small blocks of time productively rather than waiting for large chunks of uninterrupted time.

  3. The lily pad method - Break big projects down and "leap frog" between different tasks instead of trying to do everything linearly. This prevents getting bogged down.

  4. Horizon goals - Set a general direction rather than a specific measurable goal. This reduces pressure and allows flexibility.

  5. The piano precedent - Don't meticulously plan every detail years ahead. Life always involves unexpected events.

  6. The 100-year-old plan - When at a crossroads, ask yourself what your 100-year-old self would advise you to do.
