The Best Minute: Ending your workday, achieving excellence, and specific dreams
1 PERSONAL GROWTH SOLUTION FROM ME
Set a hard end time to your workday.
What happens whenever you have a vacation coming up or you know you're going to be taking a few days out of your normal work routine? Your productivity somehow triples and you get more done in a day than you often do in three days.
Why is that? Because you have a hard break coming and need to make sure certain things are taken care of beforehand.
But why reserve that focus and productivity to only random times throughout the year?
Answer: you shouldn't.
Even though it may be artificial and you don't have to stop working at that time, by committing to an end time you'll cut the fluff and focus on what you need to do to be done at a reasonable time.
