The Productivity System I Taught to 6,642 Googlers

The speaker, Jeff, introduces the CORE workflow, a productivity system he developed at Google and taught to over 6,600 Googlers. This system is designed to manage four types of information: tasks, ideas, notes, and media, ensuring nothing is lost. He explains that the CORE workflow is platform-agnostic and demonstrates its application through two real-world examples: managing a work task using Google Tasks and developing an idea for a pay raise negotiation using Google Keep. Jeff emphasizes that the system helps overcome reliance on willpower by establishing routines for capturing, organizing, reviewing, and engaging with information, ultimately redirecting mental energy into a reliable system. He also promotes his weekly newsletter and a full Workspace Academy course for those using Google Workspace tools.
