Are you as productive as you could be?
Ever feel like the Little Engine That Could when moving towards your goals?
Chugging along, while doing your best to hold on to the dream. Feeling like you're never, ever, ever going to get there.
The top of that mountain just looks so huge sometimes, doesn't it?
What if you could be the Shanghai Transrapid (the fastest train on the planet) instead of the Little Engine That Could? Moving towards your dreams like the Shanghai Transrapid is easy if you have the right strategy.
The 90-30 productivity strategy is one of my favorites.
It's simple. Easy. And powerful.
And it's based on the Pomodoro technique. But with a few upgrades to make it extra powerful.
For instance, with the original Pomodoro technique, you work for 25 minutes and take a break for 5. Francesco Cirillo originally developed it to help people stop procrastinating.
But here’s the problem...
The original Pomodoro isn’t effective if you’re not having trouble with procrastination. The 25 minute work time isn’t long enough to do what’s needed in one sitting and a 5-minute break doesn’t cut it either. What can you really get done in 5 minutes besides a decent neck stretch?
So... I made both the work and break times longer to fit how I like to work.
And then I added a twist.
Every two hours it looks like this…
90 Minutes of Deep Work
During the 90 minutes, I do my best to turn off any distractions. I make it a game to see how much work I can get done in those 90 minutes.
30-Minute Break
For the break, I step away from my desk and do something physically active for 30 minutes. This can be…
- Cleaning (I work from home). I usually put on my headphones while cleaning and listen to a really good fiction audiobook. Feels like a mini-vacation.
- Lifting some weights
- Doing some yoga stretches
- Taking a quick walk outside
- Taking a dance break. Yes, I take these and I highly recommend, especially when you’re needing an energy boost. Go here and try it now. You’re welcome. (Careful: the video starts automatically)
Which one I choose for any given break depends on what I'm in the mood for (and how messy my place is).
Thus, if you think about it, by the end of the day...
- I've gotten a ton of work done,
- have a clean home,
- exercised and stretched,
- and partied it up.
Not bad for 8 hours.
Try it for yourself. The idea is to maximize your productive mental time to get stuff done...
While also giving your mind a rest and your body some movement.
Productivity never felt so good.
