improve productivity

Sync your work and personal calendars across accounts & devices. For those who have 2 jobs + 3 freelance gigs – sync ALL your calendars together and turn on reminders, so that you don’t miss anything without switching to and from different accounts.

Block larger periods of time for similar tasks instead of having a chaotic calendar that forces your brain to switch between different tasks every few minutes. For example, dedicate 1 hour in the morning to check email, then 2 hours of focus work and a series of meetings in the afternoon. Don’t forget to schedule breaks between the blocks! Which brings us to the next tip 👇

Start planning with the rest time (lunch, walk breaks, holidays). First add them to your calendar and then structure the work tasks around the rest time accordingly.

Block focus time when you are most productive during the day. Make sure to turn off notifications and other distractions when you focus on the most important task of the day.

Less perfection, more flexibility. Planning the day in the calendar doesn’t mean you have to stick to every minute of it and freak out if something doesn’t go according to schedule
