There are different schools of thought in the realm of productivity.

The energy school focuses on optimizing your energy levels. The focus school is all about getting into and staying in flow. The efficiency school is obsessed with the logistics of work.

Tiago positions his philosophy as the value school: Making sure you deliver value after every block of work by delivering, what Tiago calls, Intermediate Packets.

He draws parallels to Just In Time production from Toyota and Continuous Integration in software development.

Intermediate Packets is continuous integration for knowledge work.
