This Productivity Schedule Made Me Rich
Summary
-
I stick to a schedule that helps me get the most done. It's important to avoid gaps between tasks because that's when you end up snacking, grabbing a soda, or scrolling. These gaps are unproductive.
-
I suggest scheduling your meetings back to back. This method is more efficient because you get more done in a condensed period of time, and you eliminate wasting time in between.
-
I recommend offering people the last meeting slot available each day and then filling from the bottom up. This way, you have the mornings free for important work that requires more focus and time.
- By prioritizing big tasks for the morning, when energy levels are typically higher, you can accomplish important projects more effectively.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a tight schedule to boost your productivity. Start by grouping meetings back to back. This will help you get more done in less time without unproductive breaks. For example, instead of having a meeting, then a gap, then another meeting, just stack them together. This keeps you focused and minimizes interruptions like snacks or social media checks.
A good way of handling meeting requests is to offer people the last available slots of the day. This way, your mornings stay open for important tasks that require more thought and energy. Most people are more alert in the morning, so plan to handle big projects then when your energy is at its peak.
Another strategy is to fill your calendar from the afternoon upward to keep your mornings clear for focused work. This means when someone asks for a meeting, start from the latest slot and move upwards. This approach can give clarity to your day and help manage your workload more efficiently.
These small changes in scheduling can help achieve a smoother workflow and might just open up more time for those important tasks you’ve been putting off. Keep this in practice, and you’ll likely see a big boost in productivity.
