Have you ever watched a plate spinner keeping all their plates safely up in the air?

Do you ever feel like that? Except you're NOT a circus performer and there are already several broken plates on the floor?

Yeah, me too... 👇

1/🧵

I've been that failing plate spinner—too many projects, too little time.

Productivity is attention, and we can only reliably attend to one thing at a time. The challenge is overcoming the fear that setting a plate down means you'll never get it spinning again.

In Week 1 of my live cohort course AP Productivity, I teach a process for opening and closing loops.

Or, in our analogy, taking plates off their poles and setting them safely down, knowing that you can quickly get them spinning again when you need to.

3/🧵

When you limit yourself to one plate spinning at a time, the effect on your productivity (and anxiety!) is remarkable.

But to achieve that, you need a reliable process, and a system you trust.

I built the system I trust in @RoamResearch, and I can help you build yours.

That's what AP Productivity is about: building a system you trust, full of processes you can rely on, all tailored to the way you work.

If you could reliably focus your attention on your most important work, would that be worth 8 weeks and $500?
