How I save 10 hours a week

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

- James Clear

The biggest thing I have learnt having more and more added to my plate in terms of work load each week is delegation.

You may think…

“Delegation?”

“I can’t hire anyone to help me delegate my tasks to - that’s for rich people.”

You’re wrong.

Here are three FREE ways to delegate your time using effective systems.

1. Google Calendar

I plan everything down to the minute. There is never a point in my day where I am confused as to what I should be doing.

I schedule everything from lunch breaks to intense work sessions. The less thinking I have to do in the day the better - I need my brain power reserved for problem solving not contemplating when I should have breakfast.

2. Good Habits

I have a habit of tracking my habits.

A habit tracked is a habit kept. “Gamifying” your life is one of the easiest ways to make achieving your goals fun. So I take pleasure in keeping my daily streaks alive with the habits I track.

Building a routine of good habits is crucial to stacking daily wins that will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire of your productivity levels.

3. ToDoist

I don’t care if you use Iphone notes, a notebook…this is better. The inbox feature makes remembering your to-do list dead easy and it syncs to your laptop so there is perfect information flow between your phone and desk workstation.

It also gives you popup notifications to remind you to get work done. So for my home screen OCD freaks who like to keep their phone clear of notifications - this app is perfect as you strive to rid your home screen of notifications each day.

It is the gmail of to-do lists - no one likes a full inbox and this app makes you want to clear your productivity inbox.

Try them or don’t. All I know is THEY WORK.

These are just some of the productivity hacks I have been exploiting lately - will you try them?

As always I am rooting for you.

Kind regards
