I recently watched Darkest Hour, a great historic movie inspired by the book of the same title about the first few days of Winston Churchill’s as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Gary Oldman is tremendous portraying the inner struggle of a man that had the decision to negotiate or fight Hitler’s Nazi Germany on his shoulders.

It also gave a glimpse into Winston Churchill success, work routines, and how he managed his day to day operations to be productive.

Churchill had a remarkable career, serving as the Prime Minister for Great Britain during WWII (and again from 1951–1955), leading the Allies to victory against the Axis forces.

But did you know that he also wrote 43 book-length works in 72 volumes over his lifetime? He wrote more words than Charles Dickens and Shakespeare combined!

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 (the only British Prime Minister to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature!) “for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values”.

Over the years I have read many articles on his productivity hacks and after watching the movie this seemed a good a time as any to compile his best success secrets.
