How to Improve your Productivity and Focus
Ever heard of the phrase "Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance" and a well known technique called "Pareto" or the "80/20 Rule"
Combining these two we can increase our overall #PRODUCTIVITY
and #FOCUS
๐๐
For every minute spent in planning we save between ten to 12 minutes in EXECUTION. If we apply this planning in advance on a daily basis we can save up two hours in wasted time during our day.
Write down your Top 10 Goals, Activities
or Projects
you need to get done in the next week or day. ๐โ๏ธ
Now let's apply the 80/20 Rule (the law of the critical few), the principle says that "20% of Your activities will account for 80% of your results"
Most of the time we will busy ourselves on 80% "the trivial many" instead of actually focusing on the top 20% "the critical few", the critical few are probably the ones that make you feel the most uncomfortable.
Assess your list, be tough on yourself in asking is this a Top 20% Goal, Activity or Project.๐ฏ๐ช
Do the 20% FIRST! โ๏ธ
