5 Tips from Billionaires to Help Achieve High Productivity
By Will Chou
There are a ton of viral articles out there that are about “habits of millionaires” or “habits of successful people.” Quite frankly, they are a bit plain and overdone. This advice comes directly from dozens of interviews and books by billionaires I have consumed. I decided to get advice from only the best of the best.
Here are 5 tips from billionaires on how to achieve high productivity:
1. Keep Your Calendar Simple
Keep your calendar clear and organized. Rather than having hundreds of complicated tasks on there, simplify it to the most important. Drop the rest.
The average person has many low-priority tasks that distract them on their calendar. It’s not a good idea to stuff your calendar with a thousand, small random tasks.
Warren Buffett has mentioned this many times in interviews.
Bill Gates has remarked about how amazing this is after learning it from Warren. Bill has used it himself since then.
2. Do What’s Most Important First
Your most important task should be done first when you start the day.
Average people fill their day with unimportant tasks. The start of their day is filled with tasks that could have gone undone and had minimal impact.
By the end of the day, their most important tasks are still incomplete and often pushed off until tomorrow. This leads to further procrastination and small results.
They were busy but not effective or impactful. You don’t want to be the person who does busywork to look busy rather than strategic, smart work.
Warren Buffett’s pilot, Mike Flint, learned this lesson after talking to Buffett.
Mike learned that the biggest threat to finishing the #1 most important task on your list is #2, #3, #4, #5, and so on. Throw out the other tasks until you finish #1.
3. Delegate Lower Priority Tasks
