5 Powerful Techniques to Boost Your Daily Productivity

Time management gurus have spent years developing techniques to simplify our lives and help us accomplish more in a day. These methods are practical and highly effective. While we can’t promise you’ll get everything done (especially if your to-do list is a notebook filled with tiny handwriting), even skeptics will notice a difference. Use these strategies in a way that suits you best and watch your productivity soar.

Neurophysiologist Nathaniel Kleitman studied human mental activity for most of his life. He found that people don’t work uniformly like robots; instead, we work in bursts. During each burst, we maintain productivity, followed by a need for a break or a simpler task. Kleitman discovered that adults have an active period of about 90 minutes, give or take 15 minutes.

Plan your tasks around this cycle: 90 minutes of focused work followed by a short break. The duration of the break depends on the activity. A walk outside can be more refreshing than a chat with colleagues. Active breaks can help you return to work more quickly. Schedule your day with a 90-minute work session followed by a break for lunch, meditation, exercise, or a hobby. Even reading a book for 15-20 minutes can rejuvenate you.
