Timeboxing – the productivity secret

Timeboxing guide is here.

Time is the most important asset. If you can double your output then you should be able to double your income. You often can do that if you manage time well. I have at least doubled my output using timeboxing which I think is the most efficient way of time management that elon musk uses.

How I do it:
– List of tasks you want / need to do
– Prioritise those that are most important and move those to the top
– Work out how much time each task needs to take (the quickest you can do it). (eg., 5 or 10 or 15 minutes for each one)
– Can you cut that time down more?
– Set a countdown timer when you start the tasks with the alarm
– When you get to the end, stop, move on to the next one
– If you did it then cross that off, if you didn’t then you will come back to it later to consider why you didn’t do it, and how you can do it faster in future. Is it necssary?
– Why it works so well? You find faster ways to do stuff, and you do it according to the 80:20 rule. You can do 80% of the task in 20% of the time.
– Enjoy getting much more done and having much more time!
