'High-IQ Meetings'

Meetings which require group thinking and discussion to make decisions and are going to be really mentally-challenging, those meetings are known as High-IQ meetings.

Meetings are all about teams and collaboration and if you want your group to be at their best, you need to find a time where everyone can have optimal chance to be fully wake up and get the blood flowing.

JEFF BEZOS

"I like to do my high-IQ meetings before lunch, Anything that's going to be really mentally challenging--that's a 10 o'clock meeting. Because by 5 p.m., I'm like, 'I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10.'"

Get Enough Sleep

Get Enough Sleep

Research indicates that good sleep is vital for "brain plasticity," the brain's ability to learn and adapt.

A good night's sleep also helps you concentrate better when you're awake, while reducing unforced errors and irritability. So, view getting enough sleep as a sound investment.

Feed your soul

Feed your soul

Before starting your work, take out some time for yourself, figure out what would help you, your body, and your mind.

  • Is it a workout?
  • Some time to reflect and meditate?
  • Or, a good breakfast with your loved ones?

By feeding your soul first, you'll be prepared to do great work.

Identify your priorities

Identify your priorities

Sometimes we confuse feeling productive with being productive. 

You might jump into your workday and knock out a bunch of small tasks.

Completing this type of work isn't wrong; it's often necessary. But these are tasks that can often be completed quickly, later in the day.

This gives you time to focus your prime thinking time on the more important decisions.

The more responsibility you have, the more important focus becomes. So, identify your most important decisions for today, and make those your priority.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.
