Secrets to Being Highly Productive
Did you analyze:
- How productive your day was?
- How many hours in a day you were productive?
- What could you have done to be super productive?
- Which hours in your day are the most crucial for creativity?
Some will say, business hours
Some will say, late evenings
Some will say, mornings
If you thought Morning Then Yes, you are right!
But the key question is what part of morning hours are highly creative and productive as per your brain’s peek creative power?
Honestly, I never paid attention to it until I stumbled upon some content which was awesome!
There was a research done to find out what time is the Peek productive hours for your brain and the results were the First 3 hours as soon as you wake up. Not 3 hours after you reach your office but 3 hours as soon as you wake up!
Surprised?
Let me ask you this…What do you usually do after waking up?
Most of us start our days with the daily chores which may not be as productive as we want them to be.
Let me tell you one more fact, the most successful millionaires and billionaires, after they wake up, they start working from home for few hours because they know they can use those highly productive brain hours to maximize their creativity and productivity before they head to office.
Now, most of us didn’t know this right?
Same here J
Some may feel the late night is best because everyone must be sleeping and it will be quite for you to be more productive and be creative. Well, exceptions are always there!
Some statistics on how some people spend office time on some of the non-productive activities: (Don’t quote me, I read it somewhere)
Ø Reading news websites - 1 hour 5 min
Ø Checking social media - 44 min
Ø Discussing non-work-related things with coworkers - 40 min
Ø Searching for new jobs - 26 min
Ø Taking smoke breaks - 23 min
Ø Making calls to partners/ friends - 18 min
Ø Making hot drinks - 17 min
Ø Texting or instant messaging - 14 min
Ø Eating snacks - 18 min
This is particularly good news for freelancers and others who work from home. It's easy to feel like you're not "doing" enough when you don't have to go into an office.
People would be better rested, more focused, and likely more productive.
Yet this research suggests that if you're productive for just 3 hours a day, you're outputting the same amount as someone in the office for 8 hours.
The 8-hour workday is not based on the optimal number of hours a human can concentrate. In fact, it has almost nothing to do with the kind of work most people do now: Its origins lie in the Industrial Revolution, not the Information Age.
In the late 18th century, 10-16 hour workdays were normal because factories "needed" to be run 24/7. When it became clear that such long days were both brutal and unsustainable, leaders like Welsh activist Robert Owen advocated for shorter workdays. In 1817, his slogan became: "Eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest."
However, this 8-hour movement didn't become standard until nearly a century later, when, in 1914, Ford Motor Company astonished everyone by cutting daily hours down to 8 while simultaneously doubling wages. The result? Increased productivity.
Thus, while it may be hard for some to believe, the 8-hour workday was initially instituted as way of making the average workday more humane.
Now, the workday is ripe for another disruption. This is due in part to research that suggests that in an 8-hour day, the average worker is only productive for 2 hours and 53 minutes.
That's right - you're probably only productive for around 3 hours a day.
One of the saddest mistakes in time management is the propensity of people to spend the most productive hours of their day on things that don't require high cognitive capacity (like daily chores, entertainment, social media, driving to work, picking up their kids etc).
If we could salvage those precious hours, most of us would be much more successful in accomplishing what we truly want.
One way to fight against this tendency is to decide the night before what you want to accomplish in the morning, so you can jump right into your day. There is a time for mindlessness, but maybe save it for later.
So, now you must be thinking what does Dev Gadhvi do after he wakes up?
Here is what I do. I start working from home, take client calls, work on new ideas, make quotes, record new voice clips, small write ups etc. for my CareNation community of WhatsApp to give them the daily dose of motivation, new tip on sales, social media branding, entrepreneurship/startup etc
Now ask yourself, what do you do first 3hours as soon as you wake up?
