What is your task efficiency rate? We have always maintained that we are able to accomplish more than most because we get more done during the day. We maximize our time. Consider the following "time additives" to improve your efficiency:
1. Don't multitask. It tanks your productivity
2. Unplug. Turn the cell phone off. Turn off the wireless on your laptop (unless you are doing internet stuff.)
3. De-socialize. If you do have to be on the internet for something, close your Facebook notifier, turn off your email notifier, etc.
4. Retreat. Find a place where you can retreat from everything and really get important things done.
5. Leverage your gap times. Be productive between meetings, early in the morning, waiting in line, waiting in traffic, etc.
6. Hit the Pillow. Sleep is the best thing you can do to increase productivity.
7. Memorize in the morning. Your brain is most ready to commit information to long-term memory right after you wake up. This has nothing to do with whether you are a morning person or not. That is habit based. This is brain-research based.
