1 HACK

Get enough sleep If you’re physically or mentally exhausted you

simply cannot be as effective. Lack of sleep

has a massive effect on health and well-being.

2 HACK

Wake up early

Create a new 60-90 minute

window before the usual day kicks

in. Exercise, work on that side-line

project when fresh or tackle one

of those nagging tasks. Yes, you

will need to go to bed earlier.

3 HACK

Divide to conquer

Carve up the days, weeks and month to create time-

boxes with boundaries that fit your life. We all wear

multiple hats: work vs family vs play vs commitments.

4 HACK

Plan with purpose

What should you be doing? Meditate on the

long term picture. Create to-do lists. Multiple

lists, one for each hat. Prioritise based on

importance and value. Organise efficiently,

consider people, places and patterns.

5 HACK

Get things done

Which time-box is scheduled? What does your plan say?

Start at the top of the list and work down. Tackle one

task at a time and focus. Multitasking is bad.

6 HACK

Protect your turf Schedule specific periods to tackle email. Avoid accepting other

people’s monkeys. Politely decline superfluous meetings. Resist

impulsive web browsing. Turn off social media notifications.

7 HACK

Look after yourself

Make sure your environment is comfortable. We

all have concentration spans, take regular breaks.

Eat well and drink well. Exercise daily.

Thank

You.
