π§ͺ Productivity Lab Journey: Focusing on Focus
π Hello friend
I am participating in Ali Abdaal's community Productivity Lab.
In the next 12 weeks, we will go through his Life Productivity System. This week, we focused on the area: FOCUS.
Ali made a hypothesis: By tracking our focus sessions, we will be able to double our productivity.
I now track my focus time with Google Sheets.
I note:
- π Task
- β±οΈ Start and end times
- β Duration (calculated)
- π Topic
- π€ Reflection
After logging some sessions, analyze trends by asking chatGPT.
I asked ChatGPT about focuslog trends and patterns. It shared valuable insights:
- Best focus times: 11am - 1pm and 3pm - 5pm.
- Breaking admin work into 15-minute chunks.
- Taking regular breaks.
Hourly Breakdown: A productive hour looks like this:
Total: 60 minutes
- Five minutes: Organize
- Tidy up.
- Get a drink.
- Use the restroom.
- Fifty minutes: Focus
- Five minutes: Reflect & Rest
- Review work and plan for the next session.
- Stretch and walk.
This routine is a game-changer. π
Productivity Update
In the last newsletter, I offered to help with productivity issues.
I've received many questions. I'll respond to all within three days. You can still send in questions for a few more days. π
Have a great week!
