How to reclaim FOUR working hours a day, every day:
Hello friend! 👋
We spend 90,000 hours at work during our lifetime.
And, 70% of us admit to being distracted for most of them.
If we wish to create work in an environment that doesn’t overwhelm us with stress, so we can focus on what matters to us the most, we need to master our time.
(Hint: It's all about having a productivity system).
Mine has 6 tactics. Feel free to try it:
1️⃣ No email first.
Start your day working on what matters.2️⃣ Schedule deep work slots.
Distractions cost you 4 hours a day!3️⃣ Work in waves, not a flatline.
25 min + 5 min off (have you tried the Pomodoro technique? My favorite track is linked below.)4️⃣ Have a non-negotiable shutdown time.
It force-fits a perpetual cycle of prioritizing.5️⃣ Work in calendar not in inbox.
Adds a third dimension (time) to your tasks.6️⃣ Listen to focus music.
Synchronizes brain waves for mood & productivity.
There you have it. My recipe for reclaiming time.
Which one will you try this week? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Have a Super Sunday!
With much joy,
Hashim
PS. My favorite creator for Pomodoro work/study music. Enjoy!
