Nicholas Bate with your productivity list

1. Address true priorities for the day (set by Personal Compass, not urgency nor ease. More here.)

2. Vertical timeline: 30 minutes slots. Priorities matched to timeline.

3. Batch work on digital interrupts.

4. Minimise meetings by reducing numbers attending, clear goals and shorter length.

5. Regular breaks to stand, stretch, sip water and ask: what’s really, really important here?

6. Chaos in the day? 97% of the time it’s the result of poor planning in the past. Fix it for the future.

7. Go home on time. All work and no play etc.
