1. The Power Block Method (Deep Work in 90-Minute Cycles)
- Break your day into 90-minute focus blocks followed by 10–15 min recovery.
- No multitasking: one task, total immersion.
- Use time boxing: assign tasks to specific windows (not just “to-do”).
2. The Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent vs Important)
- Urgent + Important → Do first (mission-critical tasks).
- Important but not Urgent → Schedule (strategic growth work).
- Urgent but not Important → Delegate or automate (emails, admin).
- Neither → Eliminate (scrolling, random tasks).
3. The 2-Minute Rule
- If it takes <2 min, do it immediately. Stops micro tasks from stacking.
4. Task Stacking (Batching Similar Work)
- Group similar tasks: content creation, calls, emails — do all at once.
- Reduces cognitive switching cost (biggest productivity killer).
5. Daily Non-Negotiables (3 MITs)
- Pick 3 Most Important Tasks that directly move your vision forward.
- Complete them before anything else (no reactive work).
6. Distraction Elimination
- Airplane mode or Do Not Disturb during focus blocks.
- Remove visual clutter: clear desk, close tabs, single-screen work.
- Noise-canceling music or brown noise for flow.
7. Evening Prep
- End day with a brain dump + next-day priorities.
- You sleep clear, wake up knowing exactly what to do.
