Here are 10 useful tips. . .

 

 

 

  1. Wake up at the same time every day — and do it early

    If waking up early isn’t your thing, set your alarm for 5 minutes earlier than normal. Get used to it. Then 5 more minutes. Your body adapts quickly — give it a shot.

  2. Have a routine for the first thing(s) you do when you wake up

    It may sound insignificant but there’s a compound factor to starting your day off with small routines that sets you up to stay on track for the rest of the day.

  3. Eat breakfast

    Seriously.

  4. Do your most important task of the day first

    Hint: that’s not checking email, Facebook or Twitter. If your most creative / focused time is in the morning (like it is for me) use your first 2 hours to write, code, design, or work on solving a problem that’s been lingering. Your focus will fade throughout the day , so save the menial tasks for the afternoon.

  5. Chunk your time into 1 to 2 hr blocks

    It’s not realistic to think that you can focus on something all day long. Especially anything creative. So break your day into 1 or 2 hour chunks with breaks in between. Have a goal for each sprint and try to hit it.
    Rule: When you’re in a sprint do not check email, social media, etc. This is dedicated time. You’ll be blown away at what you can get done in just a couple hours.
    Tip: Try a little iPhone app called to make a game out it.

  6. Plan breaks

    In between your focused sprints go on Twitter and Facebook. Watch random YouTube videos if you want. Do the dishes. Run an errand. You no longer have an excuse to step away (physically or mentally) from focused work time because these breaks are already planned into your day. You’re going to do these things anyway — so be smart about it.

  7. Plan your workout time — stick to it

    Something funny happens when you say “I’ll workout ‘later’.” It transforms into a promise that you won’t. Pick any time during the day that works for you and stick to that exact time. Set a meeting for it on your calendar. When X:00 hits, stand up and go.
    Tip: If I plan to workout mid-morning after my first 2 hour sprint — it helps if I already have my workout clothes on.

  8. Have food in the house

    When your fridge is empty at noon guess what you’re going to do. Think about what to go get for lunch. Debate what sounds good, waste time deciding, then spend time going out, and eating something that’s probably not very healthy. By the time you’re back home ready to work again you’ve killed a lot of time. Be a grownup and stock your fridge.

  9. Get out of the house

    Find your “spot”. Local coffee shop. Co-working space. Somewhere out of the house with wi-fi. A change of scenery does wonders for a fresh batch of concentration.

  10. Call it a night

    You’re not producing good work when you’re tired (despite what you tell yourself). And you’re burning yourself out in advance of the next day. Know when it’s time to call it a night and start fresh in the morning.
