It’s no secret that the Stoics were some of the most productive people in history.

People like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus focused on living in the present moment and making the most of their time — something we could all learn from.

If you’re looking for ways to supercharge your productivity and passion, look no further than the Stoics. The ancient Greek philosophers had a lot to say about how to live in the present and make the most of our time:

“In your actions, don’t procrastinate. In your conversations, don’t confuse. In your thoughts, don’t wander. In your soul, don’t be passive or aggressive. In your life, don’t be all about business.”

This quote from Marcus Aurelius is an excellent reminder of the Stoic philosophy. To the Stoics, it was essential to focus on the task at hand and not get distracted by anything else.

Marcus would know a thing or two about the need to focus on the task at hand.

He was a Roman Emperor, after all.
