Give me 2 minutes and I will save you 10+ hours of wasted time each week:

1. Eliminate decisions

There are certain decisions which we make every single day that you don’t need to make,

2 of the most common are:

• The clothes you wear
• The meals you eat

Predecide on Sunday what clothes you will wear and what meals you will eat.

2. Reduce distracted work

If you’re working without your full focus on the task at hand, you are wasting hours each day.

• Choose a single task
• Turn your phone off

Instead of 8 hours of distracted work each day, do 4 hours of deep work each day.

3. Batch what can be batched

Each time you switch tasks it reduces your mental energy in what is known as “context switching”

Perform similar tasks together:

• Do all your calls after each other
• Do all your writing in one day
• Do all your editing in one day

4. Say “no” more

If you want to reclaim some time, you’re going to have to start saying “no” to some people.

Whether it’s:

• Events
• Unnecessary meetings
• Social gatherings

If your mind doesn’t scream “fuck yes” when you’re asked, say “no”
