Productivity Hack: Creation + Consuming Machines

Here is one my most powerful productivity hacks:

Separate your creation and consumption devices:

  • I use my laptop to write and create.
  • I use my iPad to consume.

When I come across articles on my laptop, I save them with one click in Instapaper and read them later in the evening or on the weekends on my iPad.

For YouTube videos, I save them to my Watch Later list and also watch them at a later time on my iPad.

I believe it’s detrimental to use one machine for both creating and consuming.

Get yourself an iPad or tablet and take control of your habits.
