There's no single hack for getting more work done in less time, but instead a host of habits, and work systems can produce the best return on your time.

Getting more work done is about knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done in the shortest possible time to maximise the little time you have everyday.

It means means choosing tasks that strategically align with your work objectives.

Adopt the "one thing" approach.

Make the hard choices and work on your most important priorities instead of responding to urgent tasks.

Your time is limited. Doing everything is not an option.

Set a very clear intention of how your day will go the next morning, particularly in the beginning, the night before.

Visualising this intention and writing it down into your schedule can make it happen more automatically in the morning without wasting time.

Planning tomorrow today is a powerful habit that changes everyday.

It's a system that can completely changes how you work:

  1. Before the day ends, identify and write down the best actions (to-do) you need to take tomorrow that will help you get closer to your work goals.
  2. Every morning, focus on completing your action list from yesterday before midday.
  3. Rinse, improve and repeat. Every day. Every week. Every month. Every year.

You could double your efficiency with this simple process/habit.

On any given day, assume that you can only accomplish one big thing, three medium things, and five small things, and narrow down your to-do list to those nine items.

This means that your daily schedule will feature:

1. One very important task;

2. Three tasks of medium importance

3. Five little things

Of course, this can be flexible, depending on important actions you need to take to advance your work goals.

A daily priority list gives you a great roadmap to follow so that you don't feel overwhelmed and don't have to waste time thinking about what needs done.

I use a combination of these methods to get through the day depending on how much work I have to get through.
