2. Learn A Powerful
Two-Letter Word:
"No."
Being able to
prioritize is critical.
However, you also
need to have the
guts to say "no"
when something is
disruptive to your
workflow.

3. Tasks Matter More
Than Goals
Split any and all
goals into smaller,
actionable steps.
This will keep your
work tangible and
manageable.

4. Lists are
Powerful
A to-do list
populated with tasks
can be a simple but
wildly effective way
to keep your goals
from becoming too
abstract and hold
yourself accountable.

5. Remember: One
and Done
Anything you can
accomplish quickly
and in one instance
(like replying to an
email) take a quick
moment to get it
done immediately
instead of putting it
off.

6. Keep Your Body
Strong
Taking care of
yourself
physically has
great impact on
your mental
well-being.
Endorphins help
you focus.

7. Deadlines are Not
Negotiable
Once you set a
deadline, do not
give yourself
wriggle room to
adjust it. Discipline
is a crucial life skill.

8. The Pomodoro
Technique is King
Pick a task, set a
timer for around 20
minutes, focus and
work at 100%
capacity, and then
take a 5 minute
break. Repeat, with
a longer breaks
every so often.

9. Keep A Random
Report On Hand
If you work in an
office, keep some
important-looking
papers on you at all
times. People will
be less inclined to
interrupt or hassle
you if you are
visibly hustling.

10. Do Not Waste
Time on Time
Thinking about how
long things can
take or how busy
you are is a waste
of your time and
energy. Keep your
mind on your tasks.

11. Keep Your Eye On
The Prize
A strict deadline
on what time your
workday ends can
help keep you
motivated and
productive.
