I really don't think this can be taught directly, it's the result of a certain worldview and set of expectations.

GTD by David Allen. And even then you probably don't need to read it, just watch an hour long lecture and you'll get the idea:
>keep lists
>write the 'next action' - the most immediate thing you can do
>rather than do things in a set order, do things based on "what can I do right now?"
>constantly review you lists, add new things. Adjust your priorities.
That's pretty much it.
All other productivity literature is just about how to get more productive at blogging about how productive you are or validating people's self-diagnosed ADHD.
The truth is if you want to be "productive" - don't read self-hep books or productivity books. Read deeply about the topic or thing you're trying to produce. Then produce it!

Stalin was a fucking retard, his retardation was the end of Soviets, which was not even truly Communist anyways.

Anyways I don't give a shit about Soviets. I care about today. Marx is somehow more relevant than Stalin or Lenin. As a Turk myself, I recommend you watch less HasanAbi.
