Work efficiently and schedule correctly

Make the most of every minute and remember that you are a special person. Therefore, the secret of your personal effectiveness is known only to you.

How Igor Mann solved the problems of personal effectiveness for himself:

1. intuition. An efficiency system works if you build it intuitively.

What it means: Learn new techniques, delve into the ones that work best for you. Following one system is helpful because it reduces the likelihood of confusion. But if you feel cramped within the framework of any one technique, then you can create your own – mixing existing ones.

2. Biorhythms. Consider your biorhythms while doing important things. Do a little research: find out what hours your brain works at its maximum and solve important tasks at this time. Ignore stereotypes about working in the morning and being productive in the evening.
3. Your own standards. Work and rest not according to the schedule, but when it is convenient. Irregular working hours add to the efficiency of your work. This is a true argument for why you suddenly jumped up from your workplace two hours before the end of the working day and, grabbing a loaf, rush to feed the pigeons.
4. Various schedules. Since you are not a machine, the same type of work schedule, even if it works for you at one point, may not be very useful the next day. Therefore, watch yourself and create typical patterns of the working day, only different ones. Keep in mind your peak efficiency states and states when energy is not available.

Example:

• Monday – fluid
• Tuesday – trips
• Wednesdays are meetings only.

5. Respect for personal time. Spend your free time reading on the subway. To win 10 minutes of precious time, sometimes choose the metro instead of a taxi. In big cities, the metro is the fastest way to get around during rush hour.
6. Empty mailbox. Fix the habit of staying up until all the emails in your email inbox have been sorted. Try to unsubscribe from useless mailing lists.

Recommendation from us:

7. Reading useful books. :

• "Life hacks for every day",
• "Business hacks for every day."

Find the energy in yourself and start working or force yourself to rest

When the desire to work disappears – do not force yourself to do business, but start the process of forced rest. This is necessary to restore strength.

How Igor Mann does it:

1. " Uncreative binge " is when you watch 6 seasons of the series at once or go to the cinema for several sessions in a row. The process can be stopped when it starts to feel nauseous and it becomes ashamed of the wasted time. But it helps. Truth.
2. Igor Mann never works long hours in a row, sitting in his comfortable office or home chair. He alternates mental work with physical activity. And one more thing: the more you have to “work with your head", the more it loads the body. Proven method. Energy is not only replenished, but also evenly distributed throughout the body. Starting from the brain and ending with the heels.
3. If you play sports on weekdays and it's exhausting, don't do it. Move your workouts to free days or reduce the load.
4. The healing power of a break. If there is no possibility of a vacation right now, get out into nature on the weekend or change the scenery during the day by walking in the nearest parks (of course, if you do not work in the industrial zone).
5. And the informational detox is when you turn off your phone, the Internet and don't even read books. since “breaking” may begin, it is best to do it in nature. In case you want to take pictures of the views, provide yourself with a camera so as not to fall into the trap of “I'll turn it on for a minute just to take a picture.”

During the week, it is useful to arrange hours free from information. They can be successfully replaced by meditation.

In the wake of the “information detox”, we will end this article with a promise to write tomorrow about how to keep yourself in good shape without coffee, learn how to speed read and not lose your taste for life, trying to do everything at once.
