Before this website was named A Life of Productivity, it was A Year of Productivity.<\/strong> In fact, if you dive deep into the site, you might still find many articles that reference the project.<\/p>\n When I graduated from business school in May, 2013, I was offered two great full-time jobs, both of which I turned down because I had a plan.<\/p>\n For exactly one year, I would devour everything I could get my hands on about productivity, and then write about what I learned every day. Over the span of my project, I conducted dozens of productivity experiments<\/a> on myself, interviewed my favorite productivity gurus from around the world, and read hundreds of books and academic journal articles on productivity\u2014all in an effort to dive as deep into productivity as I could, and write about what I learned.<\/p>\n When all was said and done, my website received more than one million hits from almost every country around the world, and I wrote more than 200,000 words<\/a> on the topic to help people like yourself become more productive, too. I also\u00a0got the chance to make a cool ending video for the project (above), and recently\u00a0published a book<\/a> on\u00a0all of the valuable lessons I learned during the experiment, published in 2016 by\u00a0Penguin Random House.<\/p>\n All of the articles that I cranked out over the course of the\u00a0experiment still live\u00a0on this website, which is free of advertisements, sponsorships, and copyright<\/a>. (It does have one of those annoying newsletter popups, but it goes away forever after you click the “X”.)<\/p>\n I hope you enjoy reading about\u00a0the biggest lessons I’ve learned<\/a>, and the experiments I’ve conducted<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Before this website was named A Life of Productivity, it was A Year of Productivity.
