Hope this is helpful. Keep an open mind; it's the only way new things can get it. - Colleen Hoover Welcome to the 30-day Productivity Challenge. Over the next 30 days, we will walk through various productivity practices, exploring new concepts and taking actions to put them into practice. This challenge is designed to help you become more productive by the end of the journey.
You may feel skeptical about the expected result because you have read and learned a lot about productivity from various sources. However, please keep an open mind for now. Just because you have a hammer in hand doesn't make you a carpenter. New skills can only be learned by practicing. This is a journey of discovery. Let's try and find out. We will undertake 10 small projects, each of which will take around three days to complete. You are expected to dedicate at least 1 hour of attention to each project every day. Even if you are already familiar with some of the material, please do not skip the reading, as there may be new information for you. Please also confirm completion of each project by sending an email at the end of each step. Let's start with some self-reflection. Review your calendar, to-do list, note-taking tools, and email-handling process for one hour today. Write down your findings and then send an email in your usual format with the subject "30 Day Productivity Challenge - [Your Name] - Kick Start" and share your thoughts by answering the following questions:
Next Topic: Goal Setting When it comes to productivity, it can be defined as the outcome divided by the time spent (productivity = outcome / time). So, before we delve into time management, we need to make sure that the outcome matches our expectations. The results of our efforts depend on various factors beyond our control, such as our abilities, opportunities, and the external environment. Our focus should be on doing the right things, whether it's solving a problem or achieving results within a given time frame. Ultimately, everything we do should align with our long-term goals.
We will take time to set clear and meaningful lifetime goals. These goals have to be significant, so they are worth using our life time to pursue. On the other hand, the goal has to match our capability. We must know what we are good at and what is needed before picking the mission. After clarifying our lifetime goals, we will give most of our time to the most tasks helping us achieve those goals. Why would we spend time on routine job or irrelevant tasks? Let’s dive into some exercises: Day 1: List everything you'd like to do, your strength, and the person you want to be. Connect them if they have a causation relationship. Day 2: Select from the list the top 3 and check what you become as a person with these tasks completed. Day 3: Writes an email on how it does. You may write anything in your mind or answer one or all of these questions:
Next topic: Make Time Your Friend "Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life." - Rick Warren Similar to making a new friend, we will take the time to understand time and learn how to get along. Over the next three days, we will read and go through a series of actions to train our minds to deeply understand time and cultivate beneficial friendships. Looking at the essence of productivity again (productivity = outcome/time), we need to minimize time after confirming the expected results. Many call this time management, which is to control time spending and avoid time waste. Day 1: Read about Time (30min) Time and money are essentially spiritual. It is tied up to people and our emotions. It can be long or short, fast or slow, productive or useless... It all depends on how we tame it and make it work for us. Let's dive in. Our time is limited. We have to have the right mindset of time before managing it. First, (1) time is limited. It's a simple fact our life is short and precious. We want to make the most of it. Second, (2) time is a gift. We can take our time and choose to do things important to us. Third, (3) we must be mindful of time to protect this valuable asset, use it wisely, respect others' time, and not waste time. We have to choose what to do and not do. Setting our personal goals to direct our energy to the right place is essential. If we choose not to do it ourselves, we can (4) let it go or delegate the task. The important is to set boundaries with others to keep the quality of work and stay on the right path. If we decide to take action, we can (5) create a to-do list, organize or group tasks for batch processing, and use methods such as the Eisenhower Decision Matrix (6) to prioritize. We also need to (7) make these decisions promptly. Otherwise, we will also waste time making choices. We need to be mindful of how to use our time. It would be best to find the right time to perform a task. The 5-minute rule tells us it is more efficient to (8) complete a job right away when we can get it done in 5 minutes. Otherwise, we would (9) block time to start work with no procrastination and (10) plan a daily routine to work at the most efficient moment. We need to (11) avoid multitasking and stay focused on one task at a time. Based on Parkinson's Law-work expands to fill the time given to complete it-we can (12) set a time limit for each assignment to avoid procrastination and ensure efficient execution. We discussed 12 time management tips. Can you recall all of them? Refresh your memory and try to repeat them. Day 2: Practice Time Management Meditation (30min) Try to set aside 5 minutes 4 times to review what we have discussed. Then take a 1-minute medication to think about 12 productivity tips. Ask yourself, does it make sense? How can I make use of it? Check our time management meditation as follows:  Day 3: Practice 1~2 tips in the day (30min)
