Hot, Fresh productivity delivered in 10 minutes…
Last year I suffered from burn out and didn’t touched my blogs websites for 7 months. I knew I was working harder, I knew I was going to burn out but I never quit. Of course as you can guess, my business suffered.
If your are the major decision maker in your business, it makes your accountable for everything that happens. Being an entrepreneur is a High burnout job (even more than telemarketers, they can quit their jobs, we can’t).
Then I started finding better ways to improve my productivity without any burnout.
I literally exhausted myself again but this time finding way to help myself… cheh…
Then Eben pagan came to my rescue. He was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. And I took his advice and started following a simple method to improve productivity.
It’s called 60-60-30/50-10
The above numbers are all about how much work you do and then how you take a rest
First 3 numbers 60-60-30 are your work times
You are going to work for 2 and 1/2 hour block.
With every block of 60, you’ll work at 50 minutes and 10 minute break.
So you are taking break at every 50 minutes of work.
Taking these many breaks have changed the way I do things.
Those 10 minute breaks are life saver.
Remember when I am talking about 50 minutes of work, that means un-interrupted work of high quality. You just cannot check your emails, receive calls or do umpteen number of useless things.
When you get focused you produce better quality. When you get Take regular break, you become one of the rarer person who walks on high ground (err… kidding).
What you do in these 10 minutes is completely up to you.
Just do not lie down… it’s better if you move around a bit.
