How to finish more work in 4 hours than 90% of people do in 8 hours:
Create a morning routine.
Morning routines are powerful because the more you do these habits, the less effort it takes.
Want more focus? Meditate.
Want more creativity? Write.
Want more energy? Exercise.
Soon you’ll build your abilities in all areas.
Plan your days.
The night before, plan:
- What to eat
- What to wear
- What to work on
Fewer decisions = More mental energy.
Pick 1 day every week to set goals.
Use 25 minutes of that day setting tasks around getting closer to those goals.
When you know what to work on, more work gets done.
Stop listening to β€œhustle” gurus.
Schedule time to unwind:
- Watch Netflix
- Scroll on Twitter
- Hangout with friends
This resets your mind and 2x your work output when it’s time for deep work.
You’re a human, not a robot.
Treat yourself like it.
Create bite-sized to-do lists.
90% of people set unrealistic to-do lists.
They create too many tasks and too difficult.
The result?
The list feels impossible and people give up.
So, start your to-do list off short with 1-3 tasks.
Only add more after completing all of them.
Schedule the hard task first.
Your energy, focus, and willpower are strongest when you wake up.
Utilize this and do your hardest tasks at the start of the day.
This builds your momentum and makes the rest of the tasks in the day 10x easier.
Schedule buffer time.
You can plan all you want, but unforeseen events will come up.
Schedule extra time in your work blocks just in case something comes up.
This gives you a realistic deadline for tasks and prevents you from falling behind and becoming overwhelmed.
