According to
Tim Ferriss (author of “The 4-Hour Work week”) , the only productivity tip you will ever need is this :
“Take an A-4
sheet paper…Fold the sheet into 4 such that it can be tucked into your shirt pocket…Now
write an important task that you got to do …and then…start doing it right now
!!!”
While this
productivity tip(!!!) sounds simplistic , it is too profound and works out
absolutely amazingly because of the following two principles that it
encapsulates…
Pareto Principle (also called 80-20 Rule)
: Only 20% of our activities produce more than 80% of results…In our
productivity tip, we did just that …we just chosen one activity that we
considered important as an activity that is absolutely required!
Parkinson Principle : “Work expands to
fill the Time available”…stated as a corollary, set yourself incredibly tight
deadline to compete the work , otherwise
you wallow in the task towards quest for perfection…In our productivity tip, we
set out to do that right now …(and of course to completion!)
