Got a Case of “The Mondays?”
Christopher Null at Yahoo Tech:
I don’t know about you, but the morning is always when I’m at my least productive.
It’s not that I’m especially lazy or incapable of operating before noon, but I just seem so scattered, so overwhelmed with different projects and leftover remnants of to-do lists from the previous day that I find it difficult to get started.
On Monday morning, when a full weekend’s worst of notes, printouts, and mail have accumulated on the desk of my home office? Fuggedaboudit.
Here are some insights on increasing productivity in the early hours of the day. The key is in accomplishing the following in the last half-hour of the PREVIOUS WORKDAY:
- File loose papers to eliminate as much clutter as possible.
- Empty your physical and email inbox and voice mail as much as possible.
- Preview the next day’s work to get it set in your mind.
- Put the following day’s most important task front and center in your workspace so you have to confront it first.
