Struggling to stay productive?

Doing busy work doesn’t always mean productive work.

Here’s how to finish more work in less time than 95% of people:

Research shows that we can only engage in deep work for 4-5 hrs/day max.

If you check the time wasted during a work day,

you’ll see huge amounts of fat literally dripping off your calendar.

You don't need to be a productivity guru that does 100 things at once.

Make it simple:
1. Find a time and place to focus

Are you a night owl or an early bird?

Some start their day early. Some very late.

Do you work better in complete silence or with background noise?

These are big factors that affect our productivity.
To solve both,

Find an environment where you can stay focused and get into a flow state.

• Home office
• Coffee shop
• Library

Test where and what time you work best.

And use a good noice-cancelling headphones too ;)
2. Block all distractions

The biggest distraction today is notifications.

Disable notifications on your phone, computer, and other devices.

Use tools like Freedom or Cold Turkey to block distracting websites and apps.

A clear mind allows you to think and act with purpose.
3. Have a to-do list

To-do lists are a great way to stay organized and on top of your tasks.

Especially when you've got a lot going on in your day.

They are so simple that you only need a pen and paper.

Here's how I create my lists:
Big Tasks:

- Takes you 1 to 3 hours
- 2 tasks max
- Main focus for the day

Medium Tasks:

- Takes 15 - 45 minutes
- 3 Medium tasks max
- Use to boost your motivation

Tiny Tasks:

- Takes 5 to 10 minutes
- Daily chores and inevitable tasks
- No specific #
4. Use productivity methods

Our brains are easily distracted.

And our attention spans are getting shorter than ever.

This is why productivity systems will help us get more work done in less time.

Here are some methods you can try:
• Pomodoro
• Eat the Frog
• Zen to Done
• Time Blocking
• Kanban Board
• SMART Goals Method
• Don't Break The Chain

Pick and try what works for you.

I personally use the Time Blocking method.
5. Plan before doing

"Failing to plan is planning to fail"

Take control of your life by planning.

I'm sure you've written down your goals.

Great.

Now write down the actions you need to take to achieve those goals.

A good way to do so is by categorizing tasks with...
The Eisenhower Matrix

You'll need to arrange tasks into different quadrants:

- Urgent + Important (Do first)
- Not Urgent + Important (Schedule)
- Urgent + Not Important (Delegate)
- Not Important + Not Urgent (Eliminate)

Apply this and you'll save tons of time.
I'm sure you've heard all these steps already.

But we need to be reminded more than instructed.

It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of the big picture.

At the end of the day,

Our goal is to work less, earn more, and enjoy more.

Stay focused.
Summary:

1. Find a time and place to focus
2. Block all distractions
3. Have a to-do list
4. Use productivity methods
5. Plan before doing
That's a wrap! 👊

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.

திருவாசகம் என்னும் தேன்

பொருள்:
1.எப்போது ஆரம்பித்தது என அறியப்படமுடியாத தொலை காலமாக (தொல்லை)

2. இருந்து வரும் (இரும்)


3.பிறவிப் பயணத்திலே ஆழ்த்துகின்ற (பிறவி சூழும்)

4.அறியாமையாகிய இடரை (தளை)

5.அகற்றி (நீக்கி),

6.அதன் விளைவால் சுகதுக்கமெனும் துயரங்கள் விலக (அல்லல் அறுத்து),

முதல்வரி: பிறவி என்பது முன்வினை விதையால் முளைப்பதோர் பெருமரம். அந்த ‘முன்வினை’ எங்கு ஆரம்பித்தது எனச் சொல்ல இயலாது. ஆனால் ‘அறியாமை’ ஒன்றே ஆசைக்கும்,, அச்சத்துக்கும் காரணம் என்பதால், அவையே வினைகளை விளைவிப்பன என்பதால், தொடர்ந்து வரும் பிறவிகளுக்கு, ‘அறியாமையே’ காரணம்

அறியாமைக்கு ஆரம்பம் கிடையாது. நமக்கு ஒரு பொருளைப் பற்றிய அறிவு எப்போதிருந்து இல்லை? அதைச் சொல்ல முடியாது. அதனாலேதான் முதலடியில், ஆரம்பமில்லாத அஞ்ஞானத்தை பிறவிகளுக்குக் காரணமாகச் சொல்லியது. ஆனால் அறியாமை, அறிவின் எழுச்சியால், அப்போதே முடிந்து விடும்.
