[Turn] boost your productivity by three times times faster

Does work make you slow to breathe? To-do items, plans and bursts of trivia that keep accumulating have surrounded you? When this happens, your best strategy is to take one step ahead of the job. Complete all the tasks of today and even more, you can have the space to breathe.

What would you do? When I face this problem, my answer is to have a "task hunting day"-This day will be my most efficient day. I'll set aside a lot of time to do the tasks on my backlog and work ahead. I find that if you plan properly, you can make tomorrow's efficiency three times times higher than usual!

• How to set up "mission Hunting Day"?

I have successfully completed hundreds of "mission hunting Days". Therefore, if you are ready to start your own "task Hunting Day", you can refer to the following steps:

Get up early: If you are not a person who usually gets up early, you should start your alarm clock. Getting up in 5:00-6:00 has two functions. First, it gives you a quiet time in class, work, or before your family wakes up. Second, it builds a sense of accomplishment that inspires you to spend the whole day.

Morning exercises: It's not absolutely necessary, but I found that starting a new day with a run or a couple of push-ups in the room is another great way to motivate. Plus, 30 minutes of morning exercise can drive you out of your body's drowsy senses.

Fixed Task Checklist: Before you start the day, write down all the tasks you have to complete. Once you've completed this list, you've done your day's work, and then you can do something you really want to do. Having a fixed job goal can give you a better focus, "work all day Today", and this kind of thinking will lead to procrastination.

Separate yourself: Most of my work is done by individuals. This means that my social activities are almost zero in "Mission Hunting Day". To be able to concentrate without distraction, be the hermit of the day. Lock the door of the room or office until you have solved all the tasks on the list.

"Line": TV, Internet, Facebook, phone, and Instant Messenger will be offline for the day. If you really need the Internet (for example, email is part of your job list) then focus on your task and don't do anything else. If you're addicted to wandering around the internet, you're disconnected.

Important work priority: the question of how to organize your work is a big stone priority! That is to put the most important tasks to be done at the beginning of the day, rather than the end. In this way, you will be able to focus your attention on the most important tasks of the moment. Of course there are exceptions to this one, but you have to follow it as a general principle.

No breaks: In this day, any form of rest should be minimized. But especially the rest of the task. You can stand up and catch your breath only after you have completed a significant portion of the work on the list. If your paper is only half written, end it first and then go to lunch.

Minimum rest: A day without a leisurely coffee time will not kill you. My principle is that there is a 5-minute break between big tasks or 20-30 minutes to solve all three meals. But don't wander around, even if it's only 1 hours. Unless you've solved all of your projects, this will make your day a failure.

Focus on Trivia: Focus on all your chores (litter, door hinges, bookbinding, etc.) and then solve them at once. This can help improve efficiency because it reduces the number of interruptions in the workflow.

Speed up your walk: On this day, you have to focus and have a sense of urgency about everything you do. If you need to pick something up between tasks, speeding up your walk can remind you that there is an important mission to complete: Empty your list of tasks. If you need to commute or drive, during this time you can store a tape to remind yourself that you don't have time to waste.

Acceleration: take on all tasks at once and speed up the completion of them. I used to write thousands of words at a time and even wrote 30 pages of e-books. Often, it is hard to resist the temptation to rest, but once you get into the state, do whatever it takes to maintain it.

Doing the important thing is not only urgent: This article has been said before, but it needs to be mentioned again. Task Hunting Day is used to solve the important long-term work, that is to say, do not put time on the solution of the current problem only. I suggest arranging a long-term plan that is not urgently needed to be completed during the day trip. Read why you need to differentiate between urgent and important tasks

Take a day off: Give yourself a day off after a successful day of dealing with all the things you want to do. This can help you regain your energy after a tiring day of work. Even if you do nothing the next day, the advance work of the previous days can usually be remedied. Spend some time with your family, read a book, or sleep until noon. After three times times the efficiency of the day, you deserve to have these!

"Mission Hunting Day" feels like a test cramming, temporarily into a state of emergency, began to busy. While this is a good way to get the job done, it doesn't mean that you should always be on mission hunting day. If you're going to start a mission hunting day, that means you haven't made good use of your time before. So in addition to quickly complete the backlog of tasks, you should also reflect on why there are so many tasks gathered up unfinished!
