Inspiration led productivity is the process of letting your inspiration drive your outcome, this is something I aspire to do more of. Have you ever had a goal in mind and all of a sudden you think of something that will bring you closer to it? You find yourself picking up the wrench and starting to work on it as if you are possessed by the spirit of the goal.
It's freeing, there is no deadline and there does not even have to be a specific outcome defined at the beginning. Just let your mind go where it wants and do what feels right.
This is can happen on accident, like when you are in the shower, the hot water relaxes you and the noise drowns out the tv, your phone, your family and you are alone with your thoughts. This can also occur by entering a peak state, which I will elaborate on in another post. Essentially its a routine you can use to change your physiology to be your most creative and productive. For me, I drink coffee, stretch, workout for 20 minutes, and listen to electronic music. My brain starts crackling and sparking, my fingers move across the keyboard as if each one has its own mind and knows what I'm going to say. My body disappears and enter I into an elevated state of mind where everything is easy and one thing flows into the next, not overlapping, it's very easy to focus.
This is the best time to do your most important work. The work you have defined by understanding your why, what and how.
Write down all the things you can do to get you to your goal and apply the 80/20 rule. Just think for a moment that you have defined 3 tasks that would take you about 2 hours. You then enter a peak state and power through the 2 hours of work. I bet you'll get more done in those 2 hours than you would have in an 8 hour day if you had forced yourself into it.
