Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT published a blog post this week with his personal tips for being productive and maintaining an edge. There are some out-of-the-box ideas, such as using a circadian light lamp for a few minutes every morning—that he swears by.
In the post, he emphasizes the importance of choosing the right work, prioritizing effectively, and maintaining physical and mental well-being. He believes that the key to long-term success is not just working hard but working smart on impactful projects. Also, doing work that aligns with personal interests and passions, while delegating less engaging tasks to those who enjoy them is crucial for sustained productivity.
Sam shares his practical strategies for prioritization, which revolve around three core principles: focusing on important tasks, avoiding time-wasting activities, and using lists to stay organized. His philosophy is to prioritize momentum—starting and ending the day with tasks that generate a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, Sam highlights physical health as a critical component of productivity. He places significant emphasis on quality sleep, regular exercise, and a balanced diet to boost energy and focus. His exercise routine includes weight lifting and high-intensity training, which he finds most beneficial. He also practices intermittent fasting, avoids sugar, and takes specific supplements to maintain health and energy levels. For Sam Altman, productivity is not just about optimizing time but about aligning physical, mental, and emotional well-being with impactful work.
