“All great things are created between method and madness“
–Hamlet
Some abnormal practices, but here’s how I supercharged my productivity:
Do something fun that involves movement for 5 minutes before starting the day
Schedule every hour
Turn off all notifications
Three 1-hour surges before lunch
Have 2 primary projects per day (A and B) and rotate hour-long surges of A and B to let your subconscious work on each
Take 10-15 minute breaks between surges, and do literally nothing
Don’t check email until after lunch
30 minute nap after lunch
Experiment with different mind states
Every other Friday is off. Not the “four-10s work week” or “nine-9s”... just fucking off
