37 Quick and Effective
Productivity Techniques
By
Sean Phillips
Introduction
As you may have noticed, this is a pretty short book. That’s intentional, and it’s done for a very specific purpose. The ideas laid out here aren’t things you should spend a lot of time reading about; they’re things you should spend a lot of time doing.
This book isn’t arranged in any particular order, so feel free to just jump to any page and start taking action on what you learn.
The advice in this book is simple, but don’t let the simplicity fool you: these ideas are powerful. They’ve been gathered from the world’s top productivity experts, and they work. Give them the respect they deserve, and you’ll be well rewarded.
Don’t Multi-Task
If you consider yourself a good multi-tasker, I have bad news for you:
Multi-taskers are worse than single-taskers … at everything.
Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but this has actually been proven a number of times in scientific studies. One of the most notable examples was an experiment conducted in 2005 at King’s College. In this experiment, the experimenters administered IQ tests to three groups of people:
The first group did nothing but perform the IQ test.
The second group was distracted by e-mail and ringing phones while taking the test.
The third group took the test while stoned. Yes, stoned.
As you might have guessed, the first group did better than the other two groups. No surprises there.
Here’s the interesting part: the e-mailers actually did worse than the stoners.
That’s right: trying to multi-task, even with simple things like checking your email, is actually worse for your productivity than getting high.
Not to mention less fun.
This makes sense when you think about it. For example, which is harder: to just sit down and do your math homework, or to do your math homework while talking to someone? It’s not just harder, it’s impossible. You have to do either one or the other.
So when you have an important task to work on: turn of your cell phone, don’t check your email, don’t take a break every ten minutes to check out your favorite blog, etc. You should either be in full work mode, or full relaxation mode. Not some weird semi-productive gray area in between.
