How to Work Fast

How to Work Fast

• Have a one track mind
  An average person has 70,000 thoughts per day which is 49 per min
• Don’t stop
  If you get stuck for more than 30 seconds, move on
• Listen to music 
  Background music helps finish tasks faster
• Keep lights bright
  Increasing light leaves from 300 lux to 2000 lux improves productivity by 8% (most offices work at 300-500 lux)
  1000 lux is full daylight (not direct sun)
• Don’t question you do in the first 15 minutes
• Make 1st draft in 15 minutes (let it be bad)
• Write short 140-character emails otherwise you don’t know what you are saying
• Keep desk clear it will clear your mind
• Do use a timer
  If you can’t hack it in 15 minutes you can’t do it at all
