Seinfeld Productivity

Posted in Process by Michael on the September 16th, 2007

Jerry Seinfeld has an interesting strategy for boosting productivity. When coming up with jokes, he made sure to write one every day. He would cross out that day on a calendar with a bid red “X.” Soon, he had a “chain” of days that were crossed out. He pressured himself to maintain the chain.

“Seinfeld understands that daily action yields greater benefits than sitting down and trying to knock out 1000 jokes in one day.”
