7 hacks you can do right now that’ll make you more productive than a $387 course:
Time block.
This is a common technique used by Elon Musk…
Time blocking is when you dedicate an amount of time for specific tasks.
Go on Google calendar and plan time for:
• Errands
• Relaxation
• Deep Work
You’ll waste less time and focus easier.
Pomodoro technique.
An easy way to get into a flow:
1. Pick a task
2. Set a 25-45 minute timer
3. Work until the time is up
4. Take a 5-minute break
5. Take a longer break every 2 hours
Eisenhower matrix.
Put all your tasks into 4 quadrants:
1. Urgent
2. Non-Urgent
3. Important
4. Unimportant
This will give you a clear map of your priorities and allow you to focus on lever-moving tasks.
Set deadlines.
Deadlines work because it forces you to focus.
For weekly tasks, set deadlines in your calendar.
For daily tasks, set deadlines with a timer.
You’ll be amazed how effective this simple trick is.
Create smart goals.
Regular goals aren’t enough.
S.M.A.R.T. goals ensure you get shit done:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Time bound
Quantifiable goals are key to progress.
The 2-minute rule.
If there’s a task that’ll take you 2 minutes, do it right then.
This closes ‘open loops’ in your brain eating up your focus.
A small rule with huge results.
