IDEA 1 - PLAN 30 MINUTES PER DAY
This will save you years of work. I’m not exaggerating. Every hour you
plan will save you 10 extra hours of work.
Check it out, didn’t that great idea appear after thinking in solitude
some minutes instead of running after urgencies?
So sit calmly and simply think for 30 minutes every day from now on.
This will put you miles ahead of your competitors. You won’t only finish
projects in minimum time, you will also know WHAT to finish and what not
to do.
(Time 30 Minutes/day)
IDEA 2 - THROW AWAY, THROW AWAY… AND THROW AWAY
AGAIN
The trash is the best friend of the high achievers. Because think a bit,
how many things continue on your desk after not knowing what to do in the
first moment? How full are also the desks of your co-workers?
So if in doubt, throw away. You will get surprised by how much you
don’t need. Throw the untouched documents from the last two weeks to
the trash. Sorry but goodbye!
Throw away coldly. You won’t need most papers. Once you throw
away you will have a clear table, and this means a clear mind. And if you
need that information again, simply
request a copy or use the Internet. No problem.
(Estimated time: 10 liberating seconds per day).

IDEA 3 - CENTRALIZE EVERYTHING
Group your important papers in only ONE folder. Everything
centralized! Or use multi-compartment folders. It´s the best solution to
quickly access to your policies, insurances, medical information, notarial
instruments, guarantees, contracts, and other important documents.
Everything in ONE place.
In a large folder, you have space for 300 sheets with its staples and
attachments. More than enough, since in most countries you don’t need to
store official documents for more than three years. And with digitalization
this number is decreasing.
Once you group papers you will save space and know always the exact
place. This will save you many hours per year searching for documents. And
in case you need more place, put everything in the same 180 by 50 cms.
closet. But as soon as you can, throw the papers away.
The fewer things, the more liberating sensation.
(Estimated time 60 Minutes)
IDEA 4 - CHECK YOUR CLOSETS AND DRAWERS
Find out where are your keys, screwdrivers, old radios, instructions,
etc. You would be surprised by how many unnecessary things you have.
Over the years we accumulate too much. So to produce more, first know
what you have to feel in control.
And then discard the things that don’t serve. So they won’t occupy
physical nor mental space.
(Estimated time 30 Minutes)
IDEA 5 - BACKUP. ALWAYS BACKUP
Store your most important PC files in the cloud and also in a pen drive.

It doesn’t have sense being a top producer if a fire or a virus eliminates one
year of work.
Disgraces don’t warn. Now you think you won’t have a virus or a flood.
But those who lost years of work because of a virus also thought it wasn’t
for them. So do a backup this same week. No discussion here.
(Estimated time 5 Minutes/month)
IDEA 6 - USE AND ABUSE THE DIGITAL FORMAT
All your photos and documents must be in virtual folders on your PC.
So scan all your important papers with the camera of your phone.
With those documents out of sight, you will have peace to think and be
more creative.
(Estimated time 30 Minutes/year)
IDEA 7 - MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES WITH A
DIGITAL SPREADSHEET OR A SOFTWARE LIKE Quicken OR
Mint
You will save many days and tons of stress if you control your finances.
One solution is using specialized programs like Quicken or Mint. The
learning curve can be steep. But later you will save hundreds of hours
researching about where your money goes. During half an hour per month,
you will enter your bank movements and have your financial situation under
control.
But go a step further. Make it terribly simple. Open an Excel
spreadsheet to write your numbers:
• Put your costs and gains in the rows.
• Put your timeline (in months) in the columns.
8
Then simply write approximate numbers of your big expenses like
loans, supermarket, clothing, etc. in the first rows. And then put your
approximate earnings in the last ones. After this, you can add and subtract
at your will. You can add more specific lines later. Yet you will only have to
modify a few, because most expenses and earnings don’t vary from month
to month.
Having your financial situation at a glance will save time and give you
freedom to do long terms plans. And well… it’s the key to grow your money.
(Estimated time 30 minutes/month)
With these 7 ideas, you will work much faster
and in a nicer environment. Try them this
week and you will at least double your
productivity.

2. THE BEST PRODUCTIVITY METHOD IN THE WORLD
1
The discipline of focusing ONLY on your
most important task until finishing will make
you more productive than anybody. It´s also
the key to achieving your dreams. Here´s how
to do it.
10
If you focus on your most important project until finishing it, you will
reach your most important goals fast. Not every goal, but the most
important ones. Something less than 99, 99% of people achieve.
I remember when I discovered this method. One day I took the risk of
only working on my most important (and biggest) task. And I abandoned
hundreds of secondary projects.
So days passed without even finishing a little task…
But after 53 days it happened.
I finished my first big project!
And I felt incredible.
And the money I won thanks to that also was incredible.
If I hadn’t followed this strategy, I would have procrastinated my big
project for at least 5 years!
You may ask, but what happened with the rest of tasks undone?
NOTHING.
The benefits of finishing your most important task will outweigh by far
the undone tasks. So if you want stratospheric results, work only on your
most important project until finishing. This will contribute more than
anything to your future.
I’m sure your to-do list is full of urgent tasks, but do the following:
1. Order your tasks by importance - not by urgency.
2. Then take the first one and don’t do anything else until
finishing it.
Let’s do it now. Analyze your to-do list and find out what will impact
your future the most. What project will increase your money more? There´s
always a task that will give you 80% of the benefits. So reorder your goals
from most important to less important and jump to the first position until

finishing.
In case you dislike
your current job
Perhaps you are now in a job you dislike. You need the money. But
sadly there isn’t a life-changing project to focus on.
So do your current work the best you can. Because the skills you will
learn there will also serve for your big future goal. And therefore focus on
your strongest point. If you're good at selling, focus on selling. If you’re good
at solving technical problems, focus on solving technical problems. If it’s
designing strategies, go for the strategies. Always work on your strength to
get prepared for the future.
Maybe you still doubt what are your priorities. In this case ask the hard
question: what do you really want to achieve in life? And then jump heart
and soul to something related to it.
If you continue in doubt because you are in that phase of “finding
yourself,” compare all your tasks among each other and put the most
important one in a higher position. So after going through your list a few
times you will finally have the ranking of your priorities.
And after this jump to your #1 task. Expect that hundreds of
temptations will arise, but you will persevere until finishing it. Simply this
strategy will tenfold your results!
And you will also see that nothing bad happens if you put off the rest.
And once you finish your great project, focus on the second one also
until finishing it. And then to the third one, the fourth, etc. This will literally
change your life.
12
Try this productivity tool this same week.
Focus 100% on your main task. In case an
urgency appears, return as fast as possible to
your main project. You will reach
unimaginable levels so.

3.HOW TO INCREASE
YOUR ENERGY - 9 Ideas
TV ads will bombard you with pills to
increase your energy. The official opinion will
also try to sell you miraculous treatments to
feel inspired. But none of them work. Not to
speak of getting addicted and its terrible side
effects.
14
There are very effective (and healthier) ways to multiply your energy
so that you produce more. Any of these 9 proven methods will boost your
vitality:
1
Set aside one daily minute to remember past successes
Remember when they told you: "You look good!" or "Good work!" So
review those moments and you will feel an explosion of energy.
2
Take a cold water shower
Take a cold shower in the middle of the day. Resist at least 10 seconds
under the cold water. You will feel like new for the rest of the day.
3
Change your workspace
Go with your laptop to a balcony, park, or new cafe to work from
there. New ideas will appear, since in other environments you make
different mental connections. That way you will get excited with new plans
that will raise your energy for many days.
4
Drink 8 glasses of water per day
Not only will you feel physically better, but also accelerate your blood
circulation and think faster!

Exercise more
A classic among classics. The old exercise more advice couldn’t miss.
But do it the smart way: do less exercise yet with continuity.
Don’t wait for the weekend´s sports day. If you never exercised, start
with light walks. Do a little only, 20 daily minutes are perfect, you will be far
above the average so. But do it 6 days per week. And gradually you will see
how you can do more. And your mood will notice it.
6
The eternal advice of not drinking
and not smoking is still valid
Eliminating tobacco and alcohol will improve your body and mind.
You’ve also heard it a thousand times but it’s still valid. Without drugs, a
new energy will invade you.
7
Take a mini nap
A small 10-minute nap at noon is a total revitalizer. But not more than
10 minutes.
8
Eat less
After a large meal, all your blood goes to your stomach instead of to
your brain. So you feel sleepy. To avoid this simply eat less. The best part is
that you´ll also avoid heart problems and cancer in the future.
To eat less follow this Spanish proverb: “Have breakfast like a king,
16
beat like a prince, and dine like a beggar.” And this will also help you:
1. Drink two glasses of water before every meal to fill your stomach in
advance.
2. Reduce gradually the amount you put on your dish. 1% less is
already a victory.
9
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than normally
30 minutes of additional sleep will work miracles in your energy.
Try to implement one of these strategies per
week and you´ll never run out of energy.

BONUS: THE GOLDEN RULE
There are many chaotic days where
everything seems important and you feel lost,
too many pending tasks collapse your mind.
How can you solve this and organize
yourself?
18
Imagine one of those crazy days. You don’t know what to attack.
Do you finish the bookkeeping?
Do you analyze the 3rd quarter budget?
Do you work on that commercial study?
Do you call that distributor to make a new offer?
Do you study the statistics of the best-selling references?
Do you reorganize the routes of your salesmen to reduce their
skyrocketing traveling costs?
Do you meet with your lawyer to analyze your new commercial slogan
that looks dangerously like a well-known brand?
Do you fire that employee?...
Oh my God, you need a break! You need time to think! Yet there´s a
trick to know what to do:
Act as if tomorrow you would go
ONE YEAR on vacation
Imagine… tomorrow you will get lost on Bora Bora without your
phone. What would you finish this morning?
Immediately your sixth sense will immediately detect your priorities.
Since tomorrow you will leave for a year, you will work on the exact tasks.
Your one-year vacation will sharpen your mind.
Try it now. Think on the pending tasks you have. If tomorrow you take
the plane to an exotic island would you attack the pile of papers, or jump to
the problem with the financial department? Would you discuss the
marketing strategy with your employees, or take a double espresso and sit

ONE LAST TIP
You can go as far as you want in life,
because top productivity is something you can
achieve. You have the potential or you
wouldn’t read this. But first you need the right
advice.
Since I was young, I couldn’t stand
seeing so many people wasting their life and
careers due to low productivity. Something as
important as productivity wasn’t taught at
school! So I decided to write the books and
make the courses to turn anybody into a high
achiever. You will find them all on my web
DavidValois.com. There you will find hundreds
of personalized tips for your case.
Perhaps you never finish big projects
and think you can’t go far. But I will give you
the proven methods to get self-disciplined
and manage your time like the world’s top
producers. You will have instant results!. At
least you will double your productivity the
first days.
Yet many of my clients multiplied their
results X10. And you will do it too.
