Achieving More in Less Time.

The art in getting more things done in less time

Here is a list of tools that helped me cut my daily work time down from 15 hours a day to two hours (often less)

www.e.ggtimer.com (This is a online timer I use for keeping my work time under control)

www.rapportive.com ( gmail add on that lets you add Facebook, twitter & linked in contacts with gmail)

I always make sure I spend NO longer than 50 minutes at any one time on my laptop. I find that is optimal time frame for productivity. Then I have a 10 minute total break, this is when I stretch, drink water etc, easy read or perhaps lay down. I even set an alarm to time my 50 minute & 10 minute blocks. When I am in work zone I turn off phones, all forms of messaging, this way I can think clear. One book I read said if we are distracted it take 20 minutes to get back to the same level of concentration , another study says when we multi task our IQ levels can be less that someone who are high on weed !

It is extremely important to be 100% where you are e.g. when you work 100% work, when you are relaxing or with friends be 100% there.

For me I find i think better sitting on the beach or in a park…ideas just seem the flow that way. I always make a note of my ideas and then batch them in relevant projects.

Anyway, I will share more ideas on being more in less time soon

Books, Reading and Your Personal Library

Miss a meal if you have to, but don’t miss a book.

Some people claim that it is okay to read trashy novels because sometimes you can find something valuable in them. You can also find a crust of bread in a garbage can, if you search long enough, but there is a better way.

Most homes valued at over $250,000 have a library. That should tell us something.

Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written. And guess what? It’s all available. All you have to do is go to the library. But would you believe that only three percent of the people in America have a library card. Wow, they must be expensive! No, they’re free. And there’s probably a library in every neighborhood. Only three percent!

Some people read so little they have rickets of the mind.

I now have one of the better libraries. I admit that I haven’t read everything in my library, but I feel smarter just walking in it.

Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

The book you don’t read won’t help.

Books are easy to find and easy to buy. A paperback these days only costs six or seven dollars. You can borrow that from your kids!

It isn’t what the book costs; it’s what it will cost if you don’t read it.
