We have looked at a few ways to improve productivity through the early podcast episodes. However, we have only touched on the idea of rhythm and how it can make or break us. Habits are hard to break, whether good or bad and those are the things that drive our natural rhythm
Know When You Are At Your Best
The first step in getting productive is to determine what works for you. There are some variations each of us can embrace. Unfortunately, what works for you, may cause me all sorts of problems. In general, we need to determine whether we work better in the morning, mid-day, evening, or late night. Then we need to determine the good “blocks” of work for our schedule. Some of us do great with long periods of focused work. However, others do good in short spurts of an hour or two with some breaks in between.
Experiment With Your Rhythm
Life hacking is all about finding ways to make improvements through trial-and-error. Finding your best rhythm is the same exercise. Most of us know what works for us, but life keeps us from really fine tuning our schedule. When you can find time to experiment with your routine, you will be able to fine-tune things and define your perfect plan. Of course, once you know it, you may not be allowed to hit that ideal rhythm every day. Life happens. Nevertheless, defining that perfect rhythm will give you a target when you do have input into your schedule. Who knows? You might even become so productive that you are given free reign to manage your time.
