MASTER TIME

 

1. The 5/10 Rule:

• Work intensely for 50 minutes, then take a 10-minute break.

• Repeat the cycle to maintain focus and productivity.

2. The 2 Minute Rule:

• If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it immediately.

• This helps clear small tasks quickly and prevents them from accumulating.

3. The 2-Hour Time Blocking:

• Allocate 2-hour blocks of time for specific tasks or projects.

• Minimize interruptions during these focused blocks.

4. The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle):

Identify the 20% of tasks that contribute to 80% of your results.

• Prioritize and focus on these high-impact activities.

5. The 90-Minute Focus Session:

• Work with intense focus for 90 minutes, followed by a 15-30 minute break.

• This aligns with the natural ultradian rhythm of the body.

6. The 20-20-20 Rule:

• Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

• Helps reduce eye strain and maintain focus during screen-intensive work.

7. The 10/10/10 Rule:

• Consider the consequences of your decisions in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years.

• Helps in making more thoughtful and long-term decisions.

8. The 4 D's:

• Do it (if it takes less than 2 minutes).

• Defer it (schedule it for later).

• Delegate it (if someone else can do it)

• Delete it (if it's not essential).
