TRANSCRIPT
#1 –
“I’ve
started so
I’ll
finish…”When you start something, finish it.
Trying to juggle tasks is counter-productive and it is very easy to lose
focus.
Focus all of your efforts into one task at a time and the time it will take
to complete them will decrease massively.
#2 - Play Appropriate Music
“When listening to classical music,
it improves the ability to solve problems and
increases accuracy by 12%”

they can’t do.”

Breakfast is NOT OPTIONAL
An early morning protein or sugar
boost is just what you need
A hungry stomach isn’t
#9
Start the day with your
most difficult
telephone conversations… …when you’re anxious
about these conversations,
the tasks that need doing
aren’t in the forefront of
your mind
#10 – News is great…but very distracting!
Get rid of the alerts and stop
checking, in this case no news
is definitely good news!
#11
AVOID
PROCRASTINATORS
Gossiping with Brenda from
accounts or watching the latest
viral videos at the water cooler is
not cool at all.
Nod at these people when you
pass them in the office, don’t
embrace non-work conversation!
Writers block?
G o n e b l a n k ?
Well then, come back to it later!
Completing tasks is important, what’s
more important is completing them to the best of your ability
#13 – End those meetings slightly earlier…
Pulling that clock back by ten minutes gives you a chance to make that call or to respond to those emails…
