내 플레이북: 개인 생산성을 글로벌 레버리지로 전환

Source: Dev.to

1. I Stopped Optimizing Tasks and Started Optimizing Outcomes

Earlier I measured:

• how fast I replied
• how many tasks I completed
• how many hours I worked

Now I measure only this:

• Did today’s work create something that keeps working even when I stop?

Focus on:

• systems instead of checklists
• assets instead of actions
• leverage instead of labor

If the output dies when I log out, it’s not leverage. If it keeps working without me, it is.

2. Every Repeated Action Became a System

When I notice myself doing something more than twice, I pause and ask:

• Can this be templated?
• Can this be automated?
• Can this be delegated to AI?
• Can this be turned into a workflow?

Applies to:

• writing
• research
• content creation
• decision‑making
• customer communication
• analysis
• planning

Personal productivity ends where system design begins.

3. I Treat AI as a Leverage Multiplier, Not a Convenience Tool

Most people use AI for convenience:

• save time on writing
• speed up coding
• generate content
• summarize documents

I use AI for leverage:

• design thinking frameworks
• simulate business decisions
• generate and refine systems
• orchestrate workflows
• build memory across projects
• distribute intelligence at scale

One use saves minutes. The other creates compounding advantage.

4. My Energy Goes Only to High‑Leverage Work

High‑leverage work includes:

• strategy
• positioning
• architecture
• product logic
• brand direction
• long‑term decisions

Low‑leverage work includes:

• formatting
• manual posting
• repetitive editing
• data cleaning
• basic reporting
• routine support

I don’t try to become faster at low‑leverage work; I try to eliminate it completely. This is the single biggest multiplier in my productivity.

5. I Turned Knowledge Into Distribution, Not Storage

Earlier, learning meant:

• reading
• taking notes
• saving links
• bookmarking ideas

Now, learning must immediately turn into:

• content
• frameworks
• posts
• newsletters
• articles
• videos
• templates

Knowledge that stays private has zero leverage. Knowledge that enters distribution becomes global productivity.

6. I Don’t Chase Speed Anymore. I Chase Compounding

Speed creates short wins. Compounding creates empires.

Instead of asking:

“How fast can I do this today?”

I ask:

“How many times will this output work for me in the future?”

Examples:

• One framework → hundreds of applications
• One article → thousands of readers
• One system → years of execution
• One insight → multiple businesses

That’s how personal productivity becomes global leverage.

7. I Design My Days Around Creation, Not Consumption

Most people begin their day by consuming:

• news
• messages
• updates
• social feeds
• notifications

I structure my day like this:

1. Creation first
2. Execution second
3. Consumption last

Because creators build leverage, while consumers feed other people’s leverage. This alone changes the velocity of life and business.

8. I Built a “Single‑Brain” System Across All My Work

Everything I do feeds into one central intelligence:

• ideas
• decisions
• failures
• learnings
• prompts
• strategies
• experiments

This prevents:

• repetition
• knowledge loss
• scattered thinking
• restarting from zero

My productivity is not increasing because I work harder; it’s increasing because my system remembers everything.

9. I Measure Success by Reach of Impact, Not Volume of Activity

Earlier, I felt “productive” when I was busy.

Now, I feel productive when:

• one idea reaches 10,000 people
• one system runs without me
• one framework helps thousands
• one post changes a person’s direction
• one article compounds into a decade of relevance

Busyness is not leverage. Impact is.

10. The Final Shift: From Worker to Operator

The biggest mental upgrade was this:

• I stopped thinking like someone who does work.
• Operators build levers.
• Workers pull levers.

In the AI age, the operator always wins.

Here’s My Take

Personal productivity has reached its limit. You can only optimize yourself so far. Global leverage begins the moment you:

• stop doing → start designing
• stop pushing → start multiplying
• stop completing tasks → start building systems
• stop thinking in hours → start thinking in decades

AI didn’t make me more productive. It gave me the ability to turn one person’s clarity into worldwide execution. That’s the real upgrade.
