Allcott's approach to productivity is designed to challenge the traditional and accepted wisdom on developing productivity and focus on addressing the reality of a modern working environment. His productivity methodology itself is based on the idea that we can bring our work into alignment with our life and that this is the very best way to become productive and happier.

He has appeared on BBC TV and radio, helped the teams behind some of the world’s biggest brands increase their productivity and achieve their goals, and wrote the book, ‘Be A Productivity Ninja.’
The title of this book is an appropriate metaphor, as it encourages readers to consider their thinking style when it comes to tackling tasks. The goal is to become a “productivity ninja” which means to be able to get more done in less time and with more energy. This is exactly what Allcott advocates in his books, blog, and podcast.
At the core of Allcott’s approach is the importance of decluttering and focusing on the most important tasks. He discusses the importance of finding an appropriate work-life balance, reducing the mental and emotional chaos present in our lives, and prioritizing our needs, rather than impulsively reacting to our screens and emails.
Rather than teach people how to better exploit their existing methods of working, He teaches us how to develop a mindset for objective-based living and working. He also encourages setting personal boundary, taking risks & being proactive, engaging in meaningful conversations and creative passion projects, and focusing on what’s important.
