Focus on being productive instead of busy - Tim Ferriss
1. Know the difference between urgent and important
Don't jump at every assignment you get
Not all urgent work is important so ask your supervisor to prioritize the work
2. Cut your daily To-Do List in half
Over-scheduling your day means more stress with less quality work done
Prioritize your daily to do list starting with the most important work
Find your best time of the day: are you a night or a morning person? Based on that, plan your schedule around your productivity spikes
3. Schedule 2-hour working sessions during your day
Research shows that productivity drops after about 2 hours of work
Schedule intervals of time when you can focus on a specific project with actionable to-do milestones you need to accomplish.
You will get more work done if you schedule short breaks to recharge.
4. Multitasking is not always productive
Multitasking can make you lose focus
Productive people focus on one task at a time
Productivity = Impact, not more work
