One of the most important, and most ignored, steps in becoming more efficient is taking breaks.
Remember to take breaks, have a laugh, and then resume to your highly effective self.
What tips would you add to this thread?
I am more productive if I have a busy day scattered with meetings than if it’s a day free of any obligations but “work.” Knowing that I only have 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there, an hour over there, makes me work more efficiently in that time period (Parkinson again!).
Commit to delivering a project or task publicly–to your boss, your co-workers, or even your reader’s if you have a blog.
Where you can, ask the person you committed to to ask you for a status update on the task 24 hours before it’s due.
The easiest way is to set short deadlines (e.g. this task is due by the end of the day) and then stick to and deliver them. Set arbitrary stopping points that can help you. I’ll often tell myself I can’t go to the bathroom, or go to lunch, until I get a task done.
If I feel like I have all day to do something, I’ll take all day – it’s Parkinson’s Law (“Work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion”).
One of the best tips I’ve learned for getting things done is creating a sense of urgency for my work. How do you do this?
Once you start looking for ways life and work can build on one another (instead of just looking for how to balance the two), you’ll find creative solutions to improve your circumstances.
If you could reword the phrase, what would you call it?
It suggests two things:
Work is more important than life (it comes first)
One of the two is bad (you “balance the good with the bad”).

"Ξέρεις τι σημαίνει WTF;", ρώτησε ο A. Tarvin @HumorThatWorks τη γιαγιά του. Εκείνη απάντησε: "WOW, that's fun!".
Έτσι είναι το #χιούμορ: σαν το αλάτι, όλα ξεκινούν από την επιλογή να το χρησιμοποιήσεις.

Humor is a skill which means it can be learned. One of the best ways to learn how to use humor is to understand “What kind of funny you are!”
