Essential Productivity Principles
Time Blocking
Assign specific blocks of time to different activities to reduce decision fatigue and increase focus throughout your day.
Energy Management
Schedule demanding tasks during your natural energy peaks and lighter tasks when your energy typically dips.
The 2-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from accumulating and causing stress.
Movement Breaks
Take 5-minute movement breaks every hour to maintain energy, focus, and physical wellbeing throughout the day.
