I remember the exact moment I hit rock bottom with my productivity system. I was sitting in my home office, surrounded by three different devices, jumping between six productivity apps, and somehow still missing important deadlines. My carefully crafted digital systems had become a maze of notifications, reminders, and endless to-do lists.
Maybe you can relate?
Are you trapped in an endless cycle of digital notifications, scattered to-do lists, and constant distractions? You start each day determined to be productive, but end up jumping between apps, drowning in notifications, and feeling more overwhelmed than ever.
Your productivity tools have become productivity traps.
🔔 Getting derailed by endless notification streams
😫 Feeling mentally exhausted from digital overload
🤔 Struggling to remember important tasks and commitments
🗑️ Wasting hours switching between multiple apps and systems
🫠 Frustrated that you’re not making progress on your goals and career
🫨 Spending more time organizing tasks than completing them
🏁 Starting projects but struggling to follow through
😵💫 Fighting decision fatigue from too many digital options
🫠 Frustrated that you’re not making progress on your goals and career
Here’s what most productivity experts won’t tell you: the more digital tools you add to your workflow, the more scattered your attention becomes. It’s not your fault – our brains simply weren’t designed to handle this level of constant input and task-switching.
I spent years chasing the perfect productivity app. Each new tool promised to be the solution to my organizational challenges. But with every new app, every new system, I found myself spending more time managing my tools than actually getting things done.
The worst part? I was losing touch with the deep, focused work that actually moved the needle in my business and life. Every notification, every app switch, every digital distraction was slowly eroding my ability to concentrate on what truly mattered.
And if nothing changes?
Each passing day means more important tasks slipping through the cracks. More mental fatigue. More missed opportunities. More time lost to digital chaos instead of meaningful progress.
This isn’t just affecting your work—it’s impacting your well-being, relationships, and ability to achieve your most important goals.
I discovered something surprising when my internet stopped working for two days. With just a pen and notebook, I got more important work done in those two days than I had in the previous two weeks.
This experience made me curious, so I started learning about how our brains work and different ways to be productive. I found something interesting: writing things down by hand helps our brain focus better and remember more.
But I still needed my computer and phone for work, email, and talking with others. I realized I didn’t have to choose between paper and digital tools – I just needed to find the right way to use both together.
That’s how I created Analog Action.
This isn’t just about getting more done – it’s about reclaiming your attention, reducing stress, and making consistent progress on work that truly matters.
Analog Action provides a proven framework that combines the focus-enhancing power of analog tools with the convenience of digital systems. No more choosing between old-school and new-school—this is the best of both worlds.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to improve their productivity is attempting to change everything at once. They try to overhaul their entire system in a day, get overwhelmed, and quickly revert to their old habits.
Analog Action is different. Through years of testing and refinement, I’ve discovered that 15 minutes is the sweet spot – long enough to make meaningful progress, but short enough to fit into even the busiest schedule.
This isn’t about adding another time-consuming system to your day. It’s about making small, strategic changes that compound into dramatic improvements in your productivity and focus.
You might be wondering why combining analog and digital tools is so effective. The answer lies in how our brains process information. Research has shown that physical writing activates regions of the brain responsible for learning and memory in ways that digital input simply doesn’t.
When you write something by hand, you’re not just recording information – you’re processing it. This deeper engagement helps you:
Experience less mental fatigue
Maintain focus for longer periods
Make better decisions about priorities
Remember important information more clearly
Actually achieve your goals instead of just planning them

What You’ll Learn in Analog Action
There are several effective frameworks and systems in Analog Action. Even more important is defining your 3 Year Vision and WHY for doing the things you do. Being really clear on your vision and the why behind it is the motivating factor for your productivity and personal growth. Here are other popular systems.
A system for using pen and paper effectively – Brainstorm your ideas, Encode them by writing them down, Anchor your tasks through writing, and Minimize distractions.
A method for using digital tools well – Produce your work, Organize your information, Sync with others, and Track your progress. Works alongside paper systems to help you get things done.
A simple but effective framework breaking down big aspirations into Objectives, Milestones, and Goals. Working in 6-8 week cycles, it connects your grand vision to weekly actions, ensuring consistent progress toward meaningful achievements. It also pairs perfectly with GAP planning.
Transform your weekly planning with GAP (Goals, Actions, Protection) and WRAP (Wins, Results, Alignment, Pivot). GAP helps you set clear goals and protect time for action, while WRAP provides powerful reflection to keep you on track and adjust course when needed.
What if you could:
🔎 Experience deeper focus and mental clarity
⏰ Complete more meaningful work in less time
📈 Make consistent progress on important goals
😤 Feel completely confident in your productivity system
🧑💻 Maintain digital convenience without the overwhelm
What does the pen and paper productivity look like?
Let me paint a picture of what your workday could look like after implementing the Analog Action system:
You start your morning with clarity and purpose, not a flood of notifications. Your most important tasks are already identified and prioritized. As you move through your day, you maintain deep focus on meaningful work, knowing that your system will catch anything that needs your attention.
When you do use digital tools, it’s intentional and effective. No more mindless app-switching or getting lost in email threads. Everything has its place, and you know exactly when to use each tool for maximum impact.
By the end of the day, you’ve accomplished what matters most. Your mind is clear, your stress is lower, and you actually feel energized instead of exhausted. Best of all? You’re making consistent progress toward your biggest goals, one focused day at a time.
You want a simple system that actually works
You’re tired of feeling scattered and overwhelmed
You’re ready to make real progress on your goals
You can commit 15 minutes a day to writing down your tasks and blocking time to work on them
You’re looking for a magic bullet solution
You don’t believe that pen and paper can work
You can’t commit to 15 minutes a day of planning
You’re unwilling to simplify your productivity system and workflows
One thing I’ve learned from helping thousands of people improve their productivity is that success leaves clues. Every person who has transformed their productivity with Analog Action has followed a similar path:
First, they acknowledge that their current system isn’t working
Then, they open their minds to a different approach
They commit to the 15-minute daily practice
They start seeing small wins within the first week
These small wins compound into major improvements
Finally, they achieve a level of productivity they never thought possible
The question is: are you ready to start this journey?
