What Zombies Can Teach You About Productivity

What I like the most about zombies, despite their ugly teeth and rotting flesh, is that they can teach us a lot about being hyper-productive.

Unlike productivity gurus and their complicated and ineffective tips, tactics, and habits, zombies can teach you how to grow and scale your effort in a short period effectively.

You just have to follow the method of the dead, and you will strive as a living human being.

1. Adopt a Single Goal

Zombies have a single goal, which is to feed and consume; they can scale their numbers and expand because they focus on one mission, which is to hunt as many living organisms as possible as fast as possible.

Most living humans are nowhere close to zombies with goal prioritizing; we add more goals to our list, thinking the more goals we have, the more productive we are, which is nonsense.

Powerful nations like Singapore, Japan, Germany, and China came out of devastating wars or famine with a single goal: to focus for the next thirty years on developing a robust economy that lifts their people out of poverty, nothing else.

Adopting a single goal that matters the most to moving you forward and directing your energy toward it will make you highly efficient with your decisions.
