My TOP list is as follows:1. Communication tool - SlackOur team has been successfully using Skype for quite a while, and this is a way out for some teams, both small and bigger ones, but Slack is more convenient to use for IT teams, for marketers, sales people, and other industry-specific teams.2. Time tracking tool - ClockifyI like Clockify – it’s very simple, you create a task, you start tracking your time, you stop when you’re done, AND you can also check how much time you spent weekly on each working task.3. To do list – Trello boardsThe next tool I LOVE is Trello. This is a perfect one for outlining your day to day tasks, your future tasks, mapping out your ideas, sharing them with your team members, and so on.4. G Suite.No comments - couldn’t do without it.5. CalendlyIF you have a large number of meetings daily.6. Project management toolThroughout my years in IT I have met and used different PM tools, like Jira, YouTrack, Asana, and TeamGantt. And I must say that each one is good for its own purpose – so you simply choose the one that work best for you.7. Reporting tool - ExcelI have not used any specific reporting tool: I use Excel tables, both on Google drive and offline Excel files.8. CanvaNo comments :) Saves a fortune on a designer for those SMW owners whose budget is limited.See the full version of my tips here:8 BEST Tools for Remote Professionals

Deliveries is a good app, it has a complication which you can add to your watch face. A complication is a widget that can be placed in different areas of the watch face. Deliveries will show you how many days left or just gives you quick access to open it.Cheat sheet is good for Passwords or pins and also comes with a complication. If you are in the UK Natwest and Barclays apps are good as you can check your bank balance from your watch. With Natwest you can use the watch to get money from an ATM without needing to put your Bank Card in the ATM.Trello is good too on the watch. You can add voice notes to cards. One Note can also add voice notes.Try out the camera app for the odd occasion where you need to take a selfie at a distance and have the camera propped up, you can check your watch to see if you are in frame and set a countdown timer to take your picture.

I'll answer your question, but first I need to explain all of human civilisation in 2 minutes with the aid of a cartoon snake. Humans like to think we're a clever lot. Yet those magnificent, mighty brains that allow us to split the atom and touch the moon are the same stupid brains that can't start an assignment until the day before it's due. We evolved from primitive creatures, but we never quite shed ourselves of their legacy. You know the clever, rational part of your brain you think of as your human consciousness? Let's call him Albert. He lives in your brain alongside an impulsive baby reptile called Rex: You know how you can't help but notice if a stranger is tongue-wettingly gorgeous? That's Rex, and no matter how hard you try, you can never turn him off. He's your instinct, your impulse, your love and your fear. We like to think of Albert as "our true self" - the conscious part of our brain. He's the talking, reasoning part. When we decide to go to the gym or write that term paper, Albert made that decision. But Albert is old, easily exhausted, and switches off all the time. Your brain is locked in a battle of wills between a sleepy professor and an impulsive reptile with unlimited energy. You may as well hand Rex the steering wheel. Rex does listen to Albert. Like a child, he will do a lot of what he's told, as long as he doesn't disagree too much. But if Rex desperately yearns to crash on the sofa to watch Survivor and eat Cheetos, that's what you're going to do. The incredible ascension of mankind that surrounds us is largely possible because we've developed systems to nurture the Rex's in our brains, to subdue, soothe and subvert them. Much of this system we call "civilisation". Widely available food and shelter take care of a lot. So does a system of law, and justice. Mandatory education. Entertainment. Monogamy. All of it calms Rex down for long enough for Albert to do something useful - like discover penicillin, or invent Cheetos. Now let's look at your procrastination. You're making a decision with your conscious mind and wondering why you're not carrying it out. The truth is your daily decision maker - Rex - is not nearly so mature. Imagine you had to constantly convince a young child to do what you wanted. For simple actions, asserting your authority might be enough. "It's time for dinner". But if that child doesn't want to do something, it won't listen. You need to cajole it: * Forget logic. Once you've decided to do something, logic and rationale won't help you. Your inner reptile can be placated, scared and excited. But it doesn't speak with language and cannot be reasoned with. * Comfort matters. If you're hungry, tired or depressed your baby reptile will rebel. Fail to take care of yourself, and he'll wail and scream and refuse to do a damn thing you say. That's what he's for. Eat, sleep and make time for fun. * Nurture discipline. Build a routine of positive and negative reinforcement. If you want a child to eat their vegetables, don't give them dessert first. Reward yourself for successes, and set up assured punishments for your failure. Classic examples include committing to a public goal, or working in a team - social pressure can influence Rex. * Incite emotion. Your reptile brain responds to emotion. That is its language. So get yourself pumped, or terrified. Motivational talks, movies and articles can work, for a while. I use dramatic music (one of my favourite playlists is called Music to conquer worlds by [ http://open.spotify.com/user/oliveremberton/playlist/4ifk7EG0SLkV0En6s0ds7g ]). Picture the bliss associated with getting something done, or the horrors of failing. Make your imagination vivid enough that it shakes you. We use similar tricks on children for a reason: "brush your teeth or they'll fall out". * Force a start. The most important thing you can do is start. Much of Rex's instincts are to avoid change, and once you begin something those instincts start to tip into your favour. With enough time, you can even convince Rex to love doing the things he hated. There's a reason we force kids to go to school or to try piano lessons. * Bias your environment. Rex is short sighted and not terribly bright. If he sees a Facebook icon, he'll want it. It's like showing a child the start of a cool TV program immediately before bedtime. Design your environment to be free from such distractions: sign out of instant messenger, turn off notifications, turn off email. Have separate places for work and fun, and ideally separate computers (or at least accounts). Once you know what to look for, you'll start to recognise the patterns and control them. There's an impulsive baby reptile in your brain, and unfortunately he has the steering wheel. If you can be a good parent to him he'll mostly do what you say, and serve you well. Just remember who's in charge. Enjoyed this?

Shovan, 99.99% people don't follow these steps for thinking faster and better way- the old man told me with calm and quiet voice.Yesterday I was discussing about thinking faster and better in the local meditation center of a yoga organization with an acquaintance who has been meditating regularly last 30 years.I was fortunate enough to speak with him about several thought-provoking topics. We agreed with each other on some ways to improve one’s thinking.Meditate and do yoga 1 hour per day consistently for lifetime.Every problem has some weak sides. Try to attack over the weakest side of that problem to solve it.Make friendship with intelligent and positive people. Their characteristics will influence your character also.You must be intellectual as well as street smart. So, leave your ego and talk with people ranging from taxi driver to CEO of a company to understand the different aspects of life.Being practical rather than emotional.Keep yourself busy with learning new language all the time.Deactivate all the social media account for one year, delete all the social media and gaming apps (including PUBG mobile) from smartphone.Our mind and thinking pattern is related with body. Try to run every morning, do push-ups and free-hand exercises to become active and fit both physically and mentally.Play indoor game like chess and outdoor games such as tennis, basketball, soccer, cricket, baseball etc. These are some of the good excercises for the body.Stop multitasking. Do one task at a time with full concentration.Give positive affirmation 40 times at everyday that “I can think faster and better.”Stop doing aimless and random online browsing. Don't spend more than 30 minutes a day except for any emergency.Limit your screen time such as smartphone, laptop, tab etc.Don't watch erotic and porn movies.Solve rubik's cube, sudoku and puzzle on daily basis.Eat plenty of Fish, Eggs, Avocados, Broccoli, Black beans, Blueberries, Beet, Dark chocolate, Spinach, celery, Walnuts, Blackcurrants and Tomatoes.Use coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil for cooking.In the next 12 months, read a total of 48 fiction and non-fiction books. Don’t read excessive self-help stuffs, only read two self -help books for thinking fast and better such as “the essence of yoga by OSHO”, “ Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman”.Watch videos of three Youtube channels- kurzgesagt-In a nutshell, School of Life and Meditations by Rasa.Travel to natural and beautiful places but don't take pictures and upload those on social media. Just enjoy the nature of that place and talk with local people to know about the culture and history of that area.Travel solo. As a result, you will face more hurdles and problems during travelling. The more challenges you face in life, the more your thinking pattern will become - clear, better and faster.Control your base instinct through yoga, meditation, growth mindset, positive thinking, helping people and disciplined lifestyle.Keep silence for certain minutes every day and observe your thinking ins and outs.Always focus on the present moment, elucidate past and future from your life.Write a list of “10 gratitudes” every day that why you are grateful for everything you have got in life.Focus on the procedure of any work and don't be obsessed excessively with the result.Develop self confidence by setting small goals and try to achieve them. Then, go for bigger ones. It will enhance your self-confidence.Keep away from frustrated, pessimistic and negative people.Don't search for instant gratification and shortcuts for success. It will create distraction to grow and excel in life.Try to keep your knowledge updated. Study 30 minutes per day on any topic and read plenty of science and business related magazine such as National Geographic, Psychology today, Discovery, Nature, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Inc, Huffpost, Economist to enrich your knowledge.Stop listening to sad songs. It has a negative effect on our thinking pattern.Sleep 7–9 hours every night.Don't be hesitant and don't overthink while making crucial decisions. “ We won’t live this world forever” ,when you remember this, everything will be crystal clear for taking any decision.Thinking faster and better is a long term process which is not possible overnight. But if we try consciously to follow these 33 steps for one year, we can atleast think faster, smarter and better than past.Photo Credit : Person, human, restaurant and chess HD photo by Chris Fuller (@chrisfullr) on Unsplash

I added the first item in my list in a comment above, but I will put it here as well, and add some other things. Buy well-made items the first time around (and do your homework to find the right thing the first time). This goes for appliances, clothing, electronics, etc. These things will cost you more at the outset, but will end up costing you less in the long run, both in terms of money and time. They will also contribute less to the overwhelming amount of stuff in landfills (which are especially clogged these days from castoffs of "fast fashion" clothing). Decide what you really do need to buy. Try not to buy, for example, kitchen appliances and gear that only do one thing, and decide if you really do need yet another thing that plugs in. Heat up leftovers on the stove instead of buying and using a microwave. Chop things by hand instead of buying and using a food processor. Buy clothes that truly fit well, and that are in a classic style (i.e. not things that will look dated in a season). Buy only what you really need for all the occasions for which you need to dress, and only what you need to have in between washing cycles. Get rid of physical media. Keep some of your favorite books (especially ones that really need to be touched and paged through, like art books and children's picture books), but get rid of most of them. Use the library and use ebooks. Get rid of CDs. With all the streaming music sources out there, you can even get rid of your mp3 collection and just stream anything you want to hear. Don't have a TV or a cable box. You don't have to live like a luddite, though, to live simply - have a nice, large monitor and a decent computer with a good, fast internet connection. Stream TV shows and movies you want to watch. If you must own a car, own one used one. Keep it in good running shape. Take care of it physically. But if you have an older "cockroach" car (e.g. most Toyotas and Hondas), you can keep that sucker running forever without thinking about it much and without worrying about every scratch and ding. If you can get away without a car, do so. Get yourself a nice commuter bike that fits you well (by "nice" I mean one that is built well with decent parts so it works well and you enjoy using it, without having to worry about it getting banged up or stolen). Rent an apartment, don't buy a house. Don't have a yard or building maintenance to deal with. Plumbing issue? It's not your problem to solve. The building needs painting? Who cares? Lawn needs mowing? Not by you. Your neighbors get too annoying or your neighborhood starts to go downhill? Move when your lease is up. Purge, relentlessly purge things you just don't need and aren't sure you want anymore. An easy way to do this is to have a "holding area" for things you think you might want to get rid of but aren't sure you can commit to chucking. The holding area can be part of a closet, an unused stairway landing, etc. Make sure it's neat and self-contained. Put things there that you think you probably don't want anymore. If you're fine with them out of your life after a week or so, donate them. Have fewer things sitting out on surfaces in your place of dwelling. And pick up after yourself and put things away when you're done with them. Reducing clutter really helps one feel calmer. And it's a great incentive to get rid of things you're just tired of cleaning or putting away all the time (especially if they just don't give you enough pleasure for the annoyance they cause). Have one credit card. Let's be honest - in this day and age, you do need a credit card. But you don't need five. Pay off and close out the others as soon as possible. This will really help you know exactly what you've spent on what, and where your debt lies. Make sure that you have that one credit card set up with electronic statements only (and have email reminders sent if you need them). That reduces random crap that comes in the mail, and also helps you really to figure out the status of your spending (I find that paper statements are oftentimes difficult to read, and you can't just click around on them to get more information). The same goes for bank accounts and debit cards. Have a savings and a checking/debit account at one bank. Keep track of these accounts electronically.Collect all your mail, put it in a bin, and sort it once a week. There's no need to go through snail mail every day (if something is urgent, it's not going to be sent by snail mail). For a long-term project, go through your junk mail and call/email each place to unsubscribe from their mailing lists so you eventually have to deal with less paper crap in your life. Keep your email inbox empty. Answer emails immediately, if possible. When that's not possible, immediately "quarantine" these emails into an "action" folder to be dealt with later. Label and archive everything else that you want to be able to find later. Make filters so certain "bacon" items (i.e. spam that you've signed up for, like mailing lists - things that you might want to look at, but are not top priority) go straight to folders to be gone through once or twice a week. Obviously, use gmail. Don't get stuck staring at a screen more than you have to (she says, while typing up a long answer on Quora). Use social media if it makes you happy. But don't become a slave to it. No electronics after 10PM. **Edit for a couple more things I thought of:One electronic thing that I've found that IS worth owning is a small document scanner. The Fujitsu ScanSnap is amazing. It's tiny and it works fantastically well. We use it to scan all the files that one needs to keep track of and that would otherwise have to exist in paper form in a filing cabinet. The first time around, scanning everything took a long time; then again, we DID get rid of an entire large filing cabinet's worth of papers and stuff (as well as the filing cabinet itself). And now we put important papers and such in a folder to be scanned about once every month or two, and we keep this digital filing cabinet in the cloud (Dropbox works well). Not only does that help you get rid of a lot of papers, but you can also find things so much more easily when you need to (e.g. for insurance purposes, taxes, etc). I've also used this to scan written mementos (e.g. holiday cards, postcards that I want to see again, written notes) that I don't want to get rid of completely, but that I also don't want to have in a big bin in my house. We have one small container (one of those 6-8" deep file bin things) for papers one HAS to keep (e.g. car titles, birth certificates), and a couple of small shoeboxes of physical mementos. And that's it. Get rid of as many annoying errands as you can. If you have a bit of room, stock up on annoying cleaning supplies and paper goods at Costco or the like. Order other annoying household type things from Amazon (yes, I know, there's a trade-off here in that local businesses don't get the revenue from things you've ordered from Amazon. At the same time, spending an hour to get to and from a store to get dish soap can really suck the life out of you). Rather spend that errand time enjoying shopping for good food, patronizing local businesses for high-quality items (e.g. things that are NOT, say, dish soap), spending time doing things you actually WANT to do. Consider observing the sabbath, or a sabbath-like day to some extent. This doesn't have to involve religion. But enforcing some strict rules on yourself regarding what you are and are not allowed to do for 24 hours can really get you out of the constant complexities of modern life. A sabbath-like day should be a day of rest, a day devoid of work of all kinds. Obviously, you can choose to follow the judaic tradition or you can make up some rules yourself. But the general idea that you're not to use electronic devices, that you're not to do any work, that you're not to finish anything, that you're not to write anything, that you're not to clean or scrub anything completely changes the way you travel through your day. All this being said, enjoy yourself. Live simply to allow yourself more time and energy to actually go out and do things, to read things, to learn things, to make things, to spend time with people, to exercise, to travel. I think too many people equate "living simply" with being a complete ascetic. I think that my family and I live quite simply (though we're always trying to get a bit better at it), yet we are not monks. We love having nice clothing that makes us feel spiffy (some of it used/vintage, some of it new), we love eating excellent food, we enjoy having certain electronics that work really well and that add to our lives, we love watching good TV and movies and listening to a variety of music, we love biking most places but taking the car when we have to (and we actually also love our 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser with more than 350000 miles on it), we really enjoy having nice, well-made athletic equipment that makes our athletic endeavors more enjoyable. Could we get on without much of that? Sure. But we are also not in a race to live in a yurt in the middle of nowhere (which is a completely lovely option for those who wish to do just that).

If your concepts are really clear, you should not have any problem in walking through CAT QA questions. 72 percentile doesn't say "clear concepts" in any way. I would suggest you start preparing for the long haul - give yourself time and target CAT next year. You can work in the meanwhile, which will only improve your chances of getting in.To start, get familiar with basic theory. Pick up easy questions and, instead of just getting the answer, make sure you understand how you got there. Once you know how, you will start getting to the what without much effort. After that, it's only a matter of practice. For heaven's sake, don't memorize the gazillion formulae most coaching centers will throw at you. You'll never remember them when you most need to, and will be left high and dry on the day. I would strongly advise solving basic 11th and 12th level maths for trigonometry, combinatorics, set theory and so on, before moving on to solved CAT papers before 2008. 2009 onwards, CAT went online and most questions you'll find solved in textbooks are from memory, that too of those who took the test. You can't trust them. In any case, even the before 2008 criterion allows you to choose from a large set of actual CAT papers. You may also refer to the study material provided by TIME, CL or IMS. I find the questions decent.In CAT, a 70% score will get you a percentile of 99.5+ any day, so make sure you know that you can give up 30% of the questions and spend more time on the 70% that you might be able to solve with relative ease. The mocks are slightly tougher than the final test, and a select few people who're very serious about the CAT take those, so your percentile is bound to be lower. You'd do best to progress slowly. Once you really have your concepts clear and cemented in your brain, you'll find it easy to build up speed. In any case, you have 70 mins for 22 questions - remember, you're willing to leave 8-9 questions - which gives you more than 3 mins per question.But these strategies only create decimal point differences. I have never scored under 99.5 in QA in the CAT, primarily because I ate, drank and slept that sort of maths at one point of time. I wouldn't advise that, but you need to work your way up from the basics, if you want to get into the top 10 B-schools in the country.Thanks for the A2A.

Stage Fear is one of the most frightening things for someone. In my school days i still remember we were made to speak the "NEWS","THOUGHT OF THE DAY" and "THE PLEDGE" at the Morning Assembly.But whenever my teacher chose me to represent the Class i use to skip the day and they had to choose someone else.I developed a habit of running from stage which resulted in low self-confidence. I couldn't even introduce myself to a guy/girl whom i didn't know.Apparently i chose to face the punishment next day rather than speaking at Assembly or Debates.I used to make fun of  students who participated in both Hindi/English debates and usually bunk the school whenever there was a Debate competition.This all type of so called "COOLNESS" busted my self-confidence.It was my 5th day at college and some seniors called for students of my branch,they came for informing us about our FRESHERS party and took a quick audition over there.Ofcourse everbody in the room was stunned so was me who was good in nothing when it comes to a stage performance .One of them spotted that no one was willing to come on his own so they started calling out names alphabetically." FUCK it's my turn" i said inside my head ,he asked me what would i like to do and spontaneously i said MONOACTING,it took me a lot of guts but i acted for serious.I played the character of an eve teaser who was annoying yet funny.Somehow the Seniors liked it.They enrolled my name for the Main Auditions.Now this thing busted my balls wide open as i already knew i don't know a thing about acting and i pleaded my senior to remove my name.But then he said me the words which i will never forget and which keeps me motivated all the time,he said "See either you can come up on the stage and recieve all the clappings,or you can be the one who will clap like everyone else in the audience."That day i decided not to give up anymore and i practiced everyday and came up 3rd in the contest.From that day i have been regularly acting and directing skits.Ofcourse it takes a lot of guts for stepping up on the stage but once you do it nothing can be more delightful. Always remember people will know your name and face not the one's who are clapping for you.

I’ve been through the process of self-publishing on Kindle and learnt a few things. Now, I can share my tips, so you don’t make the same mistakes! I’m a commercially published author now, but I understand the frustrations of trying to break into conventional publishing, because it took me ten years to get my big break. [ http://graemeshimmin.com/a-kill-in-the-morning-shortlisted-for-terry-prachett-prize/ ] Before I got my publishing deal, I self-published a short story called Veronika, [ http://graemeshimmin.com/veronika-short-story/ ]using Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) with modest success – it has been in the Amazon top 50. Self publishing does have the advantage of getting your work out there, which can lead to attracting attention and sales. Why Self Publish on Kindle? Amazon’s two main competitors, Apple and Barnes & Noble, both claim to have gained a 20+% market share of the eBook market, leaving Amazon with something like 60%. But surveys of self-published authors have shown that Amazon’s share of self-published eBook sales is much higher – more like 80-85%. Whether the true figure is 60% or as high as 85%, Amazon is the biggest market by a long way, and KDP makes the process of self publishing on Kindle relatively easy. Self publish on Kindle: Step 1 – Your Book First you’ll need to sign up for KDP. Then you start by clicking Add a Title. The important options to fill in are: 1. Book name 2. Description (up to 4,000 characters – use it to sell your book to the reader) 3. Book contributors (you as the author) 4. Categories (whichever genres you are writing in) 5. Search keywords (up to 7, add the themes of the novel, don’t duplicate the categories) These other items can just be left blank/default: Subtitle, Series, Edition Number, Publisher, Language,Publication Date, ISBN. Verify Your Publishing Rights As you are self-publishing your own work, and so you have copyright, select This is not a public domain work and I hold the necessary publishing rights. Convert your book to Kindle format KDP accepts three main formats: * Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) * Ebook Formats (Html, Mobi, Epub) * signNow PDF It is possible to send Microsoft Word and signNow PDF documents direct to KDP, but the formatting is far from ideal if you do. If you want a really professional looking book then you should convert your book to Kindle’s HTML format yourself before uploading. I found the easiest solution was to convert the formatted manuscript [ http://graemeshimmin.com/manuscript-format-for-novel-submission/ ]into Kindle specific html. How to do this will be the subject of a separate answer. But, as we’re doing things the easy way for now, I suggest you just upload the manuscript and let Amazon reformat it for Kindle. Use Kindle Previewer If you have created an HTML format file then you can use Kindle Previewer, a downloadable Kindle emulator, to check how your book will look on various types of Kindle . What I found was that without careful tweaking, my book looked good on one type of Kindle but not on others. Kindle Previewer allows you to quickly switch between Kindle versions and see how the book will look on each type. Upload Your Book File Once you’re happy with the format, you can upload the file to KDP. The only option is Digital Rights Management. This is your choice. Choose Enable if you want to make it harder for people to copy your book, or Do Not Enable if you prefer to make your book available without restrictions. After you’ve uploaded, there’s an online previewer to check the text still looks right. Self publish on Kindle: Step 2 – Cover Photo There are two options, design your own cover or use the template-based Cover Creator. I recommend designing your own cover. The book cover is critical to attracting readers and a template based design is less likely to stand out from the crowd. The picture at the top shows what the cover I designed for Veronika looks like on the Kindle. Designing your own cover doesn’t have to be difficult. At the simplest, it’s just a question of finding a photo, making it the right size and adding the book’s title and your name to it. Find a Cover Photo There are two options: use an original photo or artwork of your own or download one from an image library. The cheapest and easiest option is to use your own photo. Make the Cover Photo the Right Size and Add the Title You’ll need some image editing software to make the cover the right size and to add the title and your name as the author. The free and easy to use image editing programs I recommend are iPiccy and Pixlr. Use the image editor to crop the photo so it is 1,563 x 2,500 pixels, as in the diagram below: The cover should also be in colour, despite the fact the most common Kindles only display black and white. This is because the Kindle Fire and the Kindle app on iPhone, Windows etc. can display colour. Both iPiccy and Pixlr have a variety of free to use fonts. Experiment with a few different ones until you find one you like. Upload the Cover This is simply a matter of clicking Browse for Image… selecting the cover you’ve designed and then clicking Upload Image. Design a cover using the Cover Creator Alternatively, if you just want a simple cover, use the Cover Creator. Step 3 – Rights and Pricing Verify Your Publishing Territories Select Worldwide rights – all territories. Your book will then appear on all the different Amazon sites around the world. Choose Your Royalty I suggest you set your price so that you receive the 70% Royalty – which means a minimum of $2.99 / £1.49 after that it’s up to you. You can set prices worldwide automatically, based on the US price, or customise your prices for different territories. It might be worth setting prices manually to exploit psychological price points like £1.99. Self publish on Kindle: Final Step – Publish! Now just click Save and Publish. That’s it. In a couple of hours your book will be on all the Amazon stores around the world. See – I told you it was easy!

Productivity is largely about changing your mindset and habits. I don’t want to give you a bunch of tricks, tips and hacks because if you don’t fix the underlying foundation, nothing will change. Sure, you’ll be more productive for a day or two, but you’ll soon go back to the way things were.Productivity isn’t about time management (that’s a misnomer) – it’s about self-management. Here are some of my best tips for managing your self and becoming more productive.Build your day around your toughest tasks, then do those things first.Identify your top one or two most pressing tasks, then tackle those first. You have the most willpower and motivation in the morning, which means your likelihood of completing those things is the highest. The other benefit to this is it creates a domino effect – once you get your most important things done, you can use that momentum to complete your other tasks.Create a “stop doing” list.We’ve all been taught to create a to-do list. But just as important as the things you are doing, you must stop doing certain things. Learning to say “no” frees up a lot of your time. Steve Jobs said that what made Apple Apple was not so much what they chose to build but all the projects they chose to ignore. Stop checking your email first thing in the morning – protect the peak energy hours for your best work.Decide “Hell yes!” or “no.”One of the best pieces of advice along the same lines comes from Derek Sivers – when deciding on things, it should be a “hell yes!” or “no.” There is no in-between. This really helps you decide on what’s important and what’s not. Note: this can and should also be applied in other areas of your life too, like buying clothes for example. How many T-shirt have you bought and only worn once?Delegate the tasks you dread and the tasks that.I love the concept of “activation energy” – the effort that it takes to get something started. Once you start a task, it’s easy to keep going, but the hard part is starting! If you delegate those tasks with a high activation energy, you’ll be able to start gettings things done, then use that momentum to keep going and stay productive the entire day.Stop waiting for perfect conditions.There will never be a “perfect” time to do anything. Don’t wait to launch a project or start a task. Done is better than perfect Immediate action fuels a positive feedback loop that drives even more action.Eliminate the mess to eliminate the stress.Mess creates stress. Tennis icon Andre Agassi said he wouldn’t let anyone touch his tennis bag because if it got disorganized, he’d get distracted. Clean out the clutter in your office to get more done. Set up the conditions for productivity.Throw out your TV and unsubscribe from Netflix.It’s too easy to get caught up binging on Game of Thrones. The best way to make sure you don’t get caught waiting entire nights on junky TV is to not have a TV. Set up the conditions for productivity.Establish positive routines.Some of the most productive people (Tim Ferriss, Stephen King, Thomas Edison, etc.), follow strict daily routines. Every day, they know exactly when to get up, they know exactly when to start work, exercise, work, etc.. Peak productivity is not about luck. It’s about routine and devotion.Stop multi-tasking!New research confirms that all the distractions invading our lives are rewiring the way our brains work (and drop our IQ by 5 points!). Be one of the rare-air few who develops the mental and physical discipline to have a mono-maniacal focus on one thing for many hours. (It’s all about practice).Slow down to speed up.Get things right the first time because not doing your best work, causing you to re-do it will take 2x longer than it would have originally. People are wildly distracted, leading to mistakes. To unleash your productivity, become one of the special performers who have the mindset of doing what it takes to get it right first. This saves you days of having to fix problems.Ask for help.There’s no shame in asking for help. It actually shows maturity. And studies show they’re actually viewed by their colleagues as being smarter. Learning to ask for help and leveraging other people’s strengths could save you tons of time in the long run.Stop and reflect.Take a step back and see what’s working and what’s not. See what needs to be prioritized and what needs to be changed. Building in time to review isn’t wasting time, but optimizes your work moving forward.

If you’re feeling stuck on a particular problem or are feeling like you aren’t getting anything done, don’t fight or resist that feeling. Recognize that your body or mind is trying to tell you it’s overwhelmed, and go take a walk. Downtime makes you more productive by giving you more emotional resilience to the inevitable ups and downs at work, while also helping you to get some perspective on the problems you are trying to solve. So unless it’s an emergency, when you leave the office, leave it. Everything will be there when you get back.
