Hacks
Timeless
By Bernard Marr
In our modern world, everyone is looking
to do things faster, better, smarter, so
it's no wonder that productivity hacks
are incredibly popular.
Here are my top 10 timeless work
habits that will make you more
productive, today:
1. Define your MITs.
MIT stands for most important task, and
just by taking a few moments to identify
3–5 things you must accomplish
each day, you will improve your overall
productivity—because you can't focus on
your important work if you don't know
what's important.
2. Don't multi-task.
We live In a multi-tab, multiple device
kind of world, but scientists tell us that
none of us is truly a good multi-tasker.
Working on one thing at a time will
make you faster and less apt to make
mistakes..
3. Create a morning
routine.
For many people, defining and
sticking to a routine can help. If you
know you operate at your best when you
have exercised and had a good
breakfast, making those things a priority
will positively affect the rest of your day.
4. Curb Your Media
Streams.
We wouldn't want to give up our
newsletters, social media, or blog reading,
but we can ruthlessly edit your media
streams to the most valuable and important
ones and use tools to automate and
aggregate.
5. Be succinct..
When writing emails, get to the
point quickly. A good rule of thumb is
to limit your email to five sentences or
less.
6. Do important work.
Find a way to prioritize the work that is
important, and do it early enough
so it doesn’t become urgent. Listen to
Steven Covey and spend most of your
time on important but not urgent
work.
7. Batch similar tasks.
Identify tasks that are interrupting
your flow (email, phone calls, meetings,
etc.) and schedule a time to do
them all at once.
8. Eliminate, automate,
delegate.
First, eliminate anything you can
from your to do list; determine if any tasks
can be automated with technology
or templates; and finally, delegate
any tasks that don't need your personal
attention.
9. Work offline.
The Internet is a fantastic, but tempting
place. If you have difficulty avoiding its
distractions, work offline or take
your work somewhere without an
Internet connection to force
some focus.
10. Do the thing you want
to do the least, first.
Prioritize those items you are most likely to
procrastinate, your day will go
much more smoothly when they are no
longer weighing on your mind.
…and remember:
You don't need a fancy system for
productivity, just a few good, timeless
habits.

The 10 Timeless Productivity Hacks

  • 2. In our modern world, everyone is looking to do things faster, better, smarter, so it's no wonder that productivity hacks are incredibly popular. Here are my top 10 timeless work habits that will make you more productive, today:
  • 3. 1. Define your MITs. MIT stands for most important task, and just by taking a few moments to identify 3–5 things you must accomplish each day, you will improve your overall productivity—because you can't focus on your important work if you don't know what's important.
  • 4. 2. Don't multi-task. We live In a multi-tab, multiple device kind of world, but scientists tell us that none of us is truly a good multi-tasker. Working on one thing at a time will make you faster and less apt to make mistakes..
