Habits That Makes Us Work Smarter And Be More Productive

by  Faisal  Hoque founder  of:

ASSESS EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

“There  is  a  saying  that  80%  of  our  accomplishments  come  from  20%  of  our  

efforts.  So  what  20%  of  our  work  is  the  most  valuable?”

WORK TO YOUR OWN CYCLE

“Our  brains  are  only  able  to  remain  focused  for  90  minutes;  then  we  need  at  least  15  minutes  rest.  ”

LIMIT YOUR SHORT-TERM GOALS

“LimiMng  goals  for  each  iniMaMve  to  measurable  outcomes  is  what  allows  us  not  to  be  in  a  state  of  submission  and  defeat.”

ESTABLISH RITUALISTIC HABITS

“Mastery  comes  from  enthusiasMc  and  repeated,  devoted  pracMce.  ”

GET TO KNOW WHERE THE TIME GOES

“The  most  criMcal  quesMon  is,  “Am  I  currently  using  

my  Mme  in  the  best  possible  way?”

ACHIEVE SMALL GOALS EVERY DAY

“SeRng  smaller  goals  for  ourselves  offers  us  posiMve  reinforcement  when  we  achieve  them.”

MORE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF BETTER

“Working  with  a  small,  focused,  and  competent  team  goes  a  long  way.”

SUMMON YOUR WILLPOWER

“I  will,  I  won’t,  and  I  want  -­‐-­‐  understanding  these  three  areas  of  willpower  is  key  to  reaching  our  producMvity  goals.”

CREATE, MODIFY, REUSE, AND AUTOMATE

“Reuse  is  what  gives  us  speed  and  efficiency  

without  reinvenMng  the  wheel  every  Mme  we  want  

to  create  a  new  asset.”
