7 Habits of Highly Effective People

  • I wouldn't say it's about trying to push oneself, develop discipline, and that sort of thing.  It's more about how to work smarter and more aligned with your values.  It's also about aligning with internal principles rather than reacting to external stimuli.  I haven't finished it all yet, but one of my favorite lessons is...
    • Effectiveness vs. Efficiency
      • Basically, you can be really efficient at doing the wrong things.  
      • For example, you can be the fastest to get to the top of a mountain, but if you climb the wrong mountain, all of that is worthless. 
      • So the key is to first get clear on your core values, goals, and what you find most meaningful in life so that any actions you take won't be wasted on superfluous and irrelevant stuff (even if those actions are performed excellently).

Look up some vids on YouTube from David Goggins...very good stuff about mental toughness.

He also has a book called 'Can't Hurt Me'.

recently been consuming a lot of this guy's work 

 

the reason I like him is because he can be nuanced and a bit un-biased in the sense that he explores many types of productivity strategies in his work, and has a general orientation towards healthy productivity over toxic productivity (but also is able to see the nuances and benefits in the toxic style)

this isn't his only one btw he has a bunch of videos on the topic
