				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <b>best and most important e-book training I&#8217;ve ever written</b> has been just released!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dextronet.com/meta-productivity"><img src="http://www.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/meta-productivity-650.jpg" alt="Meta Productivity"></a></p>
<p>This book will <b>change the way you look at productivity forever</b>.</p>
<p>You will <b>dramatically increase your productivity, master your habits and kill your procrastination</b>. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve worked on this book for over 3 years. <b>I&#8217;ve applied everything I&#8217;ve learned over the past 10 years about productivity, and condensed it all into proven, simple &#038; powerful systems that anyone can start using immediately, with the least effort possible</b>.</p>
<p>The book turned out <em>really</em> well, and I&#8217;m super excited about it. It can truly enrich and inspire you. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve organized this training into 5 short e-books (modules) &#8211; each has about 20-40 pages.</p>
<p><b>In module #1, &#8220;The Secrets of New Productivity</b>&#8220;, I list 7 common productivity problems (that no one talks about) and how you can overcome them.</p>
<p>These include lack of willpower and self-discipline, perfectionism, the fact that your to-do list is infinite, decision paralysis (being overwhelmed), to-do list guilt, and more.</p>
<p>You will also learn why <b>&#8220;meta productivity&#8221; beats &#8220;productivity&#8221;</b>: When you try to be productive, you burn your willpower on a particular task. So it&#8217;s not really sustainable. But when you are meta productive, you use your willpower and mental energy to make yourself <b>more productive permanently</b>.</p>
<p><b>In module #2, &#8220;The Meta-Habit™&#8221;</b>, I share the most powerful method for taking control of your life and time I know of.</p>
<p>Habits are actions with <em>huge</em> ROI (return on investment). Just a single habit that helps you to be more productive, healthy, energetic or joyful can pay you <b>huge dividends for the rest of your life</b>.<br />
And what&#8217;s the best way to take control of all your habits? With a habit!</p>
<p>The Meta-Habit™ is a method of managing habits. It&#8217;s super easy &#8211; it takes just about 2 minutes per day, and yet, it will help you to successfully start new habits or break existing negative ones.</p>
<p><b>In module #3, &#8220;The Productiveness Framework™&#8221;</b>, I share the ultimate method for dramatically increasing your productivity.</p>
<p>The Productiveness Framework™ is a set of 5 principles that you can organize your day around. One of them is a simple yet brutally effective method for <b>getting a lot of real, important work done every day</b>.</p>
<p>You can expect to increase your productivity by 50-100% just by implementing the tools from this module alone.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s <b>module #4, &#8220;33 Golden Nuggets of Productivity Wisdom&#8221;</b>.</p>
<p>The idea behind this module is to make you a wise productivity genius. </p>
<p>This module will increase your awareness of productivity, give you new powerful perspectives and deep insights that will, in the long run, result in more success in your work and life.</p>
<p>This module is super-fun to read. It&#8217;s a collection of the best and most valuable information on productivity I know of.</p>
<p>Finally, there&#8217;s the bonus <b>module #5, &#8220;7 Productivity Power Tools&#8221;</b>.</p>
<p>In this final module, you will get additional proven tools that you can use to increase your productivity even more.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a perceiver (P) or a judger (J)? Do you know what Obama, Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Einstein have in common? And do you know how you can get to the next level?<p><a href="https://www.dextronet.com/blog/freedom-vs-structure-and-productivity/">Freedom vs. Structure &#8230;and Productivity</a> is a post from: <a href="https://www.dextronet.com/blog">Swift To-Do List Blog</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Myers-Briggs (personality type indicator) distinguishes between extroverts and introverts, sensors and intuitors, thinkers and feelers, and judgers and perceivers. The last dichotomy (judgers vs. perceivers) fascinates me the most.</p>
<p>The common description of judgers is that they are organized, have their life structured and everything planned, arrive on time (or even early), want everything to be decided and settled, often seem rigid &#8211; but also responsible, and like closure. It is unacceptable to them not to get things done, not to get results, not to finish. (Note: &#8220;judger&#8221; does <em>not</em> mean judgmental.)</p>
<p>On the other hand, perceivers seem chaotic, are spontaneous and flexible, often arrive late (or not at all), don&#8217;t like making decisions, always feel it&#8217;s premature to make a decision, always want more information, like to keep their options open, want things to be open-ended, tend to procrastinate, and prefer starting new things to finishing them.</p>
<p>Which one are you?</p>
<p>Now, there is other, much more interesting definition: Judgers try to &#8220;lock down&#8221; the external world, so they have internal freedom. Perceivers try to &#8220;lock down&#8221; the internal world, so they have outer world freedom.</p>
<p>And to evolve ourselves to the next level, we need to develop and integrate both our Judging and Perceiving aspects. It is usually our weakest aspect that limits us the most.</p>
<p>Perceivers have problems making decisions. The word &#8220;decision&#8221; originally comes from Latin, and it literally means &#8220;to cut off&#8221;. When you decide, you cut the other options off. Perceivers hate that &#8211; they want to keep as many options open as possible. However, this comes at a price: When they keep postponing decisions, they might never decide. When they not get on a particular train, because they are afraid they might miss a better one, they might miss <em>all</em> the trains.</p>
<p>That being said, it seems to me that ultimately in the end-game, it&#8217;s more advantageous to be an &#8220;enlightened&#8221; perceiver &#8211; and have the outer world freedom. Part of Nathaniel Branden&#8217;s definition of self-esteem is <em>knowing you are competent to cope with the basic challenges in life</em>. But how about <em>knowing you will thrive, regardless the challenges in life</em>? Regardless the environment? To me, that seems worth striving for.</p>
<p>However, I also think that if you <em>really</em> want to be efficient as a perceiver, you have to develop your judger muscles. And <em>no</em>, there is no other option (even getting someone else to structure your life isn&#8217;t sufficient). Developing those muscles and going through a &#8220;judger stage&#8221; can be very challenging. You need to structure and organize the outer world (your life), so it pushes you to be efficient and get things done. This also gives you the opportunity to master the control of your inner impulses, and discover which structures give you the most leverage on yourself and when to use them.</p>
<p>The ultimate idea is that as an enlightened perceiver, you have an inner compass so strong and powerful, that you move forward regardless all hell breaking loose. The inner compass must be stronger than the low inner impulses from your reptilian brain, and it must be stronger than distractions and interruptions from the outer world.</p>
<p>All that being said, it will probably always be advantageous (from the efficiency standpoint) to outsource a significant amount of your daily decision making to outer structures (= being organized, having things pre-decided and planned). It just makes sense &#8211; the same way it makes sense to buy socks rather than to tailor them yourself.</p>
<p>What once seemed an extreme measure becomes a natural thing and a necessity when the stakes are high (in your life and mission). </p>
<p>For example, do you know what these people have in common?</p>
<p><img src="https://admin.dextronet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/obama-zuckerberg-jobs-einstein.png" alt="Obama, Zuckerberg, Jobs, Einstein - freedom vs. structure"></p>
<p>They have or had a wardrobe full of completely identical clothes. Why? They don&#8217;t want to waste time and energy deciding everyday &#8220;bullshit&#8221; like &#8220;What am I going to wear&#8221; &#8211; not to speak of having to buy new clothes every 3-6 months.</p>
<p>Einstein is said to be probably the most famous INTP (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinker, Perceiver). But he&#8217;s not your common garden-variety perceiver: There is no way he could&#8217;ve accomplished what he has done without building his judger muscles.</p>
<p>To sum this up, here&#8217;s what you can do to get to the next level:</p>
<p>If you are a perceiver, get organized, embrace structure, stop procrastinating, start finishing things and learn to make quick decisions. Go overboard&#8230; for a year. Then, loosen up.</p>
<p>If you are judger, first loosen up, then work on your inner compass (discover your values and goals), and work on your flexibility. Do a lot of soul-searching. Then, play on your natural strength and become as efficient as you can with your new inner compass.</p>
<p>This is true freedom.<br />
