The Essential Requirement for Getting Things Done

July 18, 2022 | Renée Fishman

The absolute, number one requirement to be “productive” and get things done is NOT

  • systems
  • task management
  • time management
  • apps
  • sleep
  • organizing your thoughts

It is not most of the things we chase after in the illusion that they will make us more productive.

The number one thing you need is a *safe space*: a space where your nervous system can stay regulated and where you feel safe in fully expressing yourself.

Without this, none of the other stuff can be put to its best use.
