It is like you understand my mind! You seem to know so much about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, but other than that, this is informative blog post. A good read. I’ll definitely revisit again. Surprisingly!

I stumbled across it when I was working in a factory. I'd rather go for 50 mins and take a short break instead of going for 3 hours and taking a longer break. The idea works well in all kinds of situations. Thanks for pointing it out! I can certainly attest to the 50 minutes. I stumbled across it when I was working in a factory.

I input the activities I want to accomplish and during which times I want to accomplish them and the timer keeps track of it. It alerts me when I should start a particular activity and when I should end it and move on to the next one. I've found timers to be very helpful at keeping me working quickly because I know I'm under the time gun. : ) I have some desktop software that the same thing as your timer.

You passed this along to me on Twitter the other day. I started trying it and it's been working really well. This makes you kick excuses and continue working just because you have to. You can imagine, school, business, work all takes way too much time. Staying focused is one of the only ways to get stuff done effectively without needing to come back to it. This is a great technique and I'm going to use it all the time! Have a great one! Clinton Hey thought I’d leave a comment! You passed this along to me on Twitter the other day.

You can imagine, school, business, work all takes way too much time. Staying focused is one of the only ways to get stuff done effectively without needing to come back to it.

This is a great technique and I’m going to use it all the time!

Have a great one!

I usually block off specific time for tasks by turning off all outside influences but I dont' use a timer. Like that idea. Turning off all distractions is certainly key. Kevin Thanks for these tips.

Hit send and receive and 20 emails show up, and then the phone rang, and then, it was lunchtime and my to-do list was not any shorter. Also, being a stay-at-home dad doesn't help productivity. This was a great post. I already knew about "turing off email, and the phone" but I had stopped doing that. This post was a nice subtle reminder about this effective strategy. I am also going to try the 50 minute rule starting...now - and it starts with 50 minutes of playing with my kid. Maybe more! I seriously yesterday was about to crack.

Thank you for sharing with us. I also feel that daily exercise is very important. If done in the morning it wakes you up for the rest of the day and helps to improve concentration and consequently productivity. Our company encourages exercise by providing free gym membership to employees. This move has not only improved business but staff are fitter and healthier - benefits for all! That is a great idea!
