SUBJECT: Business Productivity Lesson #4 - Using Time Periods

Give yourself a fixed period of time, like
half-hour, to make a dent in a job. Don’t worry
about how far you get. Simply put in the time.

Time framing is a easy time management technique
I use often. Let’s suppose you have a fixed
deadline for a fresh product you need to release,
like a new e-book. You must have a fresh version
ready by a particular date. So you’ll likely use
time framing for your developing cycle, meaning
that you do the finest job you can inside the
time available. What fresh material you can
implement is totally ascertained by the time
frame. Falling away from the schedule is plainly
not an option, so if you drop behind, you must
cut features.

In terms of managing your own undertakings, time
framing may be a helpful strategy.

1st, let’s say you would like to get something
done, but there’s a chance it could end up taking
far more time than it’s worth as it’s the sort of
chore where you may exhibit perfectionist
dispositions. So you give yourself a particular
amount of time, which you won’t go over, and you
simply do the best job you are able to inside
that time.

The 2nd way is when I've a chore or project that
I want to finish, but I don’t truly know where to
start, or it seems like it’s going to be a while
before I can complete a meaningful lump. Or
perhaps it’s something I find truly boring and
would have a inclination to dilly-dally on. Then
I use time framing to merely commit to working on
the job for a given time period to make a scratch
in it. I commonly utilize a period in the range
of thirty -one hundred twenty minutes. I expel
any concern about reaching a certain milestone
inside that time — I merely commit to putting in
the time, no matter how far I get.

A side effect of this last technique is that I’ll
often wind up working much longer than I
originally designated. If I commit to working at
a boring task for just half-hour, it’s easy to
get going because I’ve given myself license to
stop after only half-hour. But once I’ve overcome
that inertia and am now centered on the job,
ninety minutes might pass before I even feel the
desire to quit.

Wake Early

Arise early in the morning, like at 5am, and go
directly to work on your most crucial task. You
are able to frequently get more done before 8am
than most individuals do in a day.

The different ways you are able to start getting
up early daily.

Method One - Gradual Reduction

Sleeping is like an addiction and like any
addiction you are able to gradually move away
from it. If you are a heavy sleeper you may want
to begin gradually arising earlier and earlier
everyday until you accomplish your target time.

This technique has the advantage that you won't
have to bond right into the early mornings.
However, I've found a lot of individuals are not
as successful with this technique as it's too
slow and gives you too much time to drop-off
track.

However, I've found that some other individuals
truly like this approach. The gradual change is
softer and often leads them to some spontaneous
change where they feel they're ready to tip it
all the way to a very early start.

Method Two - quick Change

If your reasons are beneficial enough and your
will is strong enough the best way to arise early
is to start tomorrow. Set the clock for the
correct time and get up regardless what. Your
mind will try all sorts of games with you but you
must dismiss it and stay strong and in charge.

I've found this to be the best technique. After
two weeks it became normal. After a month I
couldn’t sleep in after 5am even when I wanted
to. It had become habit.

I personally believe this is the best way to wake
early. Promise yourself you'll get up at a
particular time and then do it. Don’t change for
anything, no matter what.
