hot girl tips to be more productive

With a million things to do, where do we find the time? Sometimes it can be so easy to just procrastinate, not do your work and keep pushing it back till it's too late. Let's not do that anymore.

5-minute rule - start small. If you've been putting something off for a long time, trying to commit 1 hour to it can be challenging. You can't do a marathon without a warm-up first! Could you set a timer for 5 minutes to do that task? After 5 minutes if you want to continue, go for it; if you don't, that's okay, because at least you've done 5 minutes today, which is better than 0. Tomorrow or later in the day, try to challenge yourself to do 7 minutes this time, then 10, then 15, and you will get into that rhythm.

Eliminate distractions - it's all because of that damn phone 🙄 but seriously, tech and social media can have such a tight grip over our productivity and our attention. If you cannot control your usage, set app timers that lock the app after you use it for a certain amount of time or delete the app. I've been using a minimalist phone launcher called 'OLauncher' that removes all my icons and makes me manually have to type and search for the app. In the time it takes me to search for the app, I get to ask myself, "What am I looking for? Do I need to use it for something specific or do I just want to scroll?"

Schedule properly - note down all your commitments and non-negotiables in an app like Google Calendar and make sure all your big events are displayed there. Some people can fall into the habit of planning every second of their day, but I instead delegate a few tasks to each day and give myself any time within the day to complete them, the important thing being not when I do them, but that I do them in the end.

Write to-do lists - now this doesn't just mean in-app lists, which are very useful. Physically write them out. I use a scrap piece of paper and I write: "Today I WILL..." and then list all the things I want to get done. Having it written down helps me commit to it more and the feeling of ticking it is so satisfying.

Know your WHY - Why are you doing this? Why do you want to be more productive? Why do you want to study more? Always look at the bigger picture. Where do you want to be and how will your productivity help you get there?

Celebrate your wins - whether you completed all the things on your to-do list or just one, be proud of it. Some days, you will feel super motivated and fly through all your tasks, and other days you just want to stay in bed and do nothing. Making an effort is the first step to your success.

No matter whether your goal is to complete a project, get good grades, get into the school of your dreams, or just get your work out of the way so you can focus on other things, tackle it little by little. Just 20 minutes every day for a week is better than trying to do 140 minutes worth of work on the last day.

One of the signs of overthinking is inaction. You'll be so inside your head that you won't ever be able to step out into the concrete world. The mind functions as a processor and it only needs to do a certain set of mental activities that will ignite the entire body like analysis, assessment, calculation, foresight, determination. If you overload it with anything more especially excessive hypothesis, then the only possible outcome is a stressed out mind with almost zero productivity. So stop overthinking and dive straight into action - wisdom in its entirety is in the doing...

With this post I want to announce a change in my blog :

Since our summer holidays are over and school is going to start again, I want to be productive and stay motivated for this school year. I've seen a couple of these "productivity challenges" here on tumblr and I think this is a great idea to stay motivated and focus on the important things. I'll start the "100 days of productivity - challenge" tommorow (on the first day of school).

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

Mastering Time Management: Productivity Tips for Busy Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs are known to burn the midnight oil, sacrificing sleep, relationships, and health to try and succeed in a competitive market. It’s not easy.

But ‘making it’ as an entrepreneur doesn’t need to lead to burnout or a 24/7 work, work, work lifestyle. Once you master time management, you’ll realize there’s plenty of time to get things done and have a life. This two-pack punch is everything you need, the core of your system to time management.

The Get Things Done (GTD) Method

Being productive is about getting things done, not just putting the hours in. We’re often proud about grinding at our desks for 12 hours a day, only to realize that nothing has been ticked off the list.

That’s where the GTD method comes in. It involves 5 simple steps to, well, get things done:

Step 1. Instead of cramming your brain with thoughts, capture them. Once you’ve written it down, it’s gone. Don’t let it fry your brain, and focus on the task at hand.

Step 2. You can’t just scribble down random notes and be done with it. No, you need to clarify your thoughts into action steps. Is it part of a wider project, something you need to work on today, or simply an idea or a point to look at later.

Step 3. Now we’re getting somewhere. Organize your notes into a calendar or to-do list, leveraging the power of third-party tools to help you get there. Asana is great, but a basic Google Doc or Sheet can be just as handy.

Step 4. Review your lists consistently. Set some time aside for it at the end of your day and/or week, ensuring you keep things in sensible organization.

Step 5. This is where you have to engage with the lists you’ve put together. There’s no point to doing any of this unless you take some action, right? 

For all of this, we’re going to argue that it’s time to go retro and start writing, old school style. Or write things up on your laptop/iPad and then print it off.

Just like the effectiveness of print in marketing, there’s something about making your list tactile, real. Research shows that something on paper, whether written or printed, is far more likely to be actioned vs. a digital copy.

The Pomodoro Technique

We all struggle with distractions. That pesky smartphone is the worst one of all. Even when you’re trying not to look at it, it’s calling to you, like the ring with Frodo. My Precious, indeed...

Well, fear not, the GTP method has often been coupled by many with the Pomodoro Technique. It’s one of the most effective ways to combat distractions and beat procrastination.

It’s a super simple technique, but it really does work. This is what you do:

Step 1. Pick a task, anything. Just make it into a chunk that won’t last longer than 25 minutes.

Step 2. Set your timer for, you guessed it, 25 minutes.

Step 3. Once that timer starts, focus on your task. Don’t let anything distract you. If you look at your phone even once, restart the timer.

Step 4. You’ve made it through 25 minutes. Congratulations? Reward yourself with a 5 minute break.

Step 5. Made it through 4 pomodoros? You’ve got a nice little prize: take 30 minutes off, wasting it in whatever manner you wish. We recommend going for a walk, taking your eyes off the screen, or simply dozing and letting time pass without a worry in the world.

For some people, 25 minutes isn’t enough. They go for a 50-10 split. It doesn’t really matter how you configure your time, as long as you stick to the core rule: never look at your phone when the timer is running.

For many people, using the Harry Potter ambiance music is absolutely perfect for this. It adds a layer of fun, the music has been crafted for full focus, and these playlists have been made with Pomodoro in mind.

Remember, it’ll take some time to get into the flow. Don’t expect miracles on day 1. And if you mess up, don’t sweat it. We’re all human, yes, even entrepreneurs.

The key is finding a system, fine-tuning it to work with your specific psychological and physical needs and ticks, and sticking to it. Once you’re there, you’ll wonder why you never started earlier.
