The perfect solution to making sure that you are able to stay in touch with those friends and family members is to dedicate your travel time to speaking with them.

Two Minute Rule

The two minute rule is something which I use very often to get jobs done and it is amazing how much of a difference it can make. The principle of this rule is very simple, when completing a to do list, if there are any jobs on there which can be completed in less than 2 minutes, you get them done right away. Extend this to a three minute rule for maximum productivity.

Eating the Frog

Eating the frog is a phrase from a book on productivity and it is all about getting that horrible job out of the way first thing. It is common that we put off the jobs which we don’t want to do until we absolutely have to, and this dread for the job can actually be quite crippling in terms of doing other jobs. Get up, eat that frog and you’ll be able to better move on with your day.

Wake up at 6

My grandfather used to always say that an hour before 9 is worth 2 afterward and he was absolutely right. Waking up at 6 is helpful from a mentality point of view and it also has many practical advantages. In terms of how you feel, there is something about being up at this time which is so promising and that will put you in a great mood right away. Another thing about being up at this time is that you can get a real jump on the day, and be ready when the emails or phone calls start coming in. This is a simple and easy change to make which will have a huge difference in your day and your productivity.
