Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, January 19, 2022 12:06 PM I'm not a productivity hack guy. I'm not a "hack guy," at all, for that matter. My mind doesn't really operate on the hack wavelength. When I want to do something, I do it. There's no benefit to trying to "trick" myself into being more productive. Now, maybe that would have been different if I were doing something I hated. If I were forced to work on things I didn't care about at all, I might have to employ some of the productivity hacks I see people advocating and using. So for today, I'm going to talk about those. I'm also going to give my tips for productivity that don't qualify as "hacks" per se. My Productivity Method For me, I follow a simple process that's never let me down. Write down the tasks that need to be completed. Complete the tasks. This is a remarkable method. It's simple (just two steps) and it's foolproof (following both steps as laid out improves productivity every time). Note: it's crucial to follow every step to the letter. This method doesn't work if you don't. In my experience, however, this first method doesn't work for everyone. I strongly suspect they're just not following the protocol to a tee, but just the same, I've come up with some more specific recommendations for unique productivity deficits. Slackline My favorite productivity tool is the slackline. Yes, that long strip of flat webbing hung between two anchor points that you use to balance, walk, jump, and play. There's something unique about what five to ten minutes on the slackline does to your brain. To me, it feels like a reset. It feels like the brain floods with blood and clears out all the competing desires and circular thoughts that keep a person from stay on task and on target. The sensation of being on a slackline is so alien to most people—you're balancing, you're bouncing, there's some tension but not enough to truly be stable—that it's a totally novel input that forces you into the immediate moment. Then, when you get off, your brain feels looser and your muscles feel energized and pumped, and you sit down and get right back to work. Here's a good overview of slacklining. Alarm clock Set the alarm to go off every thirty minutes or so, and use it as motivation to get up and do a set of pushups, pullups, and/or squats, just to keep active throughout the day. If you sit a lot at work (or even if you're a standup workstation superstar), using a basic alarm clock to keep moving every hour (at least) should keep some of the negative health effects of sitting at bay while improving your ability to focus. You know you shouldn't be sitting for that long, and the clock is free, so you really have no excuse. Use your mouse with your off hand This is a very niche, esoteric tip I picked up from a friend of mine. He was doing an experiment trying to develop more … Continue reading "10 Productivity Hacks That Really Work" The post 10 Productivity Hacks That Really Work appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
