Podcast Episode 78 — 6 Productivity and Time Management Life Hacks That Work
Simple things you can do, today.
Today I want to talk about time management and productivity hacks.
There are life hack articles everywhere. Some of the tips are great, and others seem like they could work, but often don’t. Here are 6 productivity and time management life hacks that actually work:
Get used to setting a timer.
If you know your tasks are being timed, you are more likely to focus on them. This increases your productivity.
Here’s an example of how to use it to your advantage: The next time you need to clean the bathroom, think about how long you think it should take. Then subtract a few minutes from that and set your timer. See if you can finish before the time runs out. Even if you don’t beat the clock, you will be more focused on your task while you’re doing it and ultimately get more done.
You can do the same thing with work tasks. Once you get used to using a timer, you will be able to make better time estimates for your workload, and you will make more progress than if you didn’t use a timer.
Every hour, take a 10-minute break.
