In this Productivity like a ProCantero explore the balance between tool-agnostic productivity theory and the practical need for tools in daily work. They share insights from their journey in developing the ICOR® methodology and introduce their new Productivity Operating System app designed to empower Busy Professionals to build personalized, effective digital productivity systems.
Why Tools Alone Aren’t Enough
Paco highlights a common trap many fall into—becoming obsessed with tools and outcomes while ignoring the essential process in between. He emphasizes the value of the ICOR® Journey, which focuses on the process that bridges input and output, allowing professionals to grow, learn, and select tools that fit their unique needs. The ultimate goal is to build systems that mirror how each individual’s brain works, reducing friction and improving productivity.
The Productivity Operating System: A Game-Changer
Tom Solid and Paco explain that while the ICOR® methodology remains tool-agnostic, it becomes even more powerful when integrated with actual tools. Their new app, the Productivity Operating System, seamlessly combines the ICOR® Framework, productivity checks, and community insights into one interactive platform.
Unlike generic tool databases, this app is community-driven, ad-free, and exclusive to members of the Paperless Movement®. It allows users to:
- Define and refine their tool stacks
- Identify gaps, redundancies, and growth areas
- Access targeted recommendations from the Paperless Movement® Courses like Note-Taking Course, PKM Course, Task Management Course, and Project Management Course
- Connect their tools directly with ICOR® concepts and workflows
Personalized Guidance at Every Step
The app includes 59 carefully crafted questions tied to core productivity concepts and workflows. Users can continually revisit these questions to audit and enhance their systems. It also connects with the Paperless Movement® Membership knowledge base, allowing instant access to relevant lessons and community discussions.
This dynamic approach helps members progress through the ICOR® Journey while applying real-world tools, ensuring they grow their systems effectively without getting overwhelmed by endless tool comparisons.
A Community Built for Busy Professionals
The platform is intentionally limited to members of the Paperless Movement® to maintain high data quality and foster meaningful exchanges among serious Busy Professionals. Users can even filter tool stacks by profession, company size, and productivity level, offering tailored insights that go beyond generic solutions.
For those who wish, it’s also possible to share tool stacks publicly, encouraging knowledge-sharing outside the community.
