What I love is the rule of three, I think I first learned this from Chris Bailey, his book The Productivity Project, but I've applied it at every level of my company.

Why people recommend it

The Productivity Project by Chris Bailey is a comprehensive guide that explores various tactics, experiments, and mindsets designed to help individuals optimize their time, focus, and energy. On The Tim Ferriss Show, Justin Gary recommended the volume, highlighting the rule of three as a core concept he first learned from the author and successfully applied at every level of his company. Meanwhile, on an episode of The Book Review, Pamela Paul introduced the publication as part of a curated discussion on distraction and modern productivity. Molly Young joined the conversation on the same podcast to evaluate the nuances of the text, pointing out that individuals can easily become dangerously productive procrastinators if they misapply the principles of output and focus. Across these podcast discussions, the book was analyzed not just as a standard self-help manual, but as a thoughtful investigation into what it truly means to be productive in a world filled with endless digital distractions and competing priorities.
