Description

📑 My blogpost on the CORE #workflow: https://www.jeffsu.org/i-taught-6-642-googlers-this-productivity-system I'm sharing the exact #productivity system I taught to over 6,600 Google employees over nine years. The CORE workflow handles all four types of workplace information through a simple four-step process: Capture everything immediately, Organize with minimal friction, Review during scheduled sessions, and Engage by blocking time to execute. Trust me when I tell you it works with any tool you already use and becomes automatic within two weeks.
