Work
-
Focus - Eliminate distractions:
- Keep a clean desk with minimal items
- Use fewer tools to avoid context switching
- Find quiet spaces away from notifications and conversations
- Avoid multi-tasking
- Block 1-2 hours for focused work, then take breaks
-
Energy Management - Identify your peak hours when you're most alert (typically 2-4 hours after waking) and schedule demanding work during these times. Work in 90-120 minute cycles with 15-20 minute breaks to match your natural energy rhythms.
-
Reflection - Periodically improve the process by reprioritizing work and finding ways to further improve efficiency.
