Thank you for sharing these great resources! This piece on how the Japanese have mastered the art of productivity may be helpful too.
The Pomodoro Technique is also a good productivity method that aligns well with principles of efficiency like those practiced in Japanese culture. By breaking work into focused intervals, typically 25 minutes long, followed by a short break, it helps maintain high levels of concentration while preventing burnout. This method is simple yet effective for managing time and boosting productivity across various tasks.
