The Most Effective Hour!
For me, there’s an hour of my day called, “the most effective hour”. This is the hour about an hour after I get up, usually around 9 or 10AM.
During that hour, I can do almost 10 times more work than I can because I am totally focused on the job at hand, that of blogging and nothing more.
I turn off my cellphone, I turn off every distraction I can. Sometimes, I even head out to the local McDonalds away from my family, just so I can concentrate fully for an hour.
Of course, the other hours during the day, I am simply not as effective because my mind is wondering all over the place.
It really doesn’t matter when you set your “most effective hour” but it helps to have an hour to yourself with zero distractions.
If you are at work in the office, try putting your earphones on with your favorite music for an hour. If you have a door to your office, leave it closed for an hour. Whatever is causing the distractions, you need to get away from just an hour a day.
If I took every phone call, read every e-mail, and talked to my co-workers in the morning, my most effective hour of the day goes wasted and I spend the rest of the day doing what I could have done during my most effective hour.
Do you remember the last time you spent time doing EVERYTHING and accomplished NOTHING? And of course, you might remember the times where you spent time doing 1 little thing and accomplished everything for the day. That is what I am talking about, turning that Facebook page off or even twittering just for a short period of time.
Of course, this most effective hour sometimes can be a little bit shorter than an hour or even 2 to 3 hours, it’s just a point of reference.
The point is, if you can really focus on a single thing that of getting things done, you can do it much faster. Well, I gotta go now, my most effective hour is over as of now.
