When I started writing this book, I didn't know its name or volume yet. As I wrote the material, it became more and more. In the end, I realized that so much information had accumulated that it would be more convenient and correct to split it into two separate books. The current book contains exclusively theoretical material, which, it seems to me, will be extremely useful primarily for humanities scholars who have no clear idea of productivity and planning. For humanities scholars who attend courses on efficiency and planning not from techies with the ability to apply a systematic approach, but from the same humanities scholars as themselves, who have no clear structure of productivity in their heads. The second book, on the contrary, will be purely practical and will become a logical continuation of this one. Having mastered the first book, I strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with my practical methodology, because theory without practice will not give such a significant effect.
I hope I tried hard and structured this book in such a way that the material in it is as sequential as possible. If we judge by hierarchical nesting, the book consists of six sections, each of which consists of chapters. At the beginning of the book, we will discuss what this book is about and who it will suit. In a few sentences, we will present information about the author. We will talk a little about planning and the necessary components for this, such as productivity, efficiency, and discipline. We will pay great attention to the importance of time and its limitations, especially emphasizing how short a person's life is compared to other time periods. Next, we will move on to factors that affect our behavior, our choices, our beliefs, and, ultimately, our goals and tasks. Finally, we will analyze both positive and useful factors for planning and goal setting, as well as negative ones that can seriously interfere, although we don't even suspect it.
