#795: The End of Time Management

The Tim Ferriss Show

NOTE

Focus Less, Achieve More

Limit daily tasks to a maximum of two primary goals to enhance focus and productivity. Completing these tasks without distraction prevents lapses in concentration and leads to better outcomes. Apply Parkinson's Law by shortening deadlines, which encourages focused action and reduces procrastination. On a weekly schedule, consider taking days off and leaving work early to prioritize effectively and promote a balanced social life. For micro-task management, restrict your to-do list and set tight deadlines to compel immediate action while avoiding unnecessary details. Tools like online countdown timers can aid in maintaining these short timeframes.
