As a peak performer, I started to experience lots of stress,
low output in my work and an excruciating pain in my back,
so, I went to the hospital for checkup, after the test, the doctor
found out that I don’t rest too well. But, I told the doctor that
I always sleep well but he asked how often do I rest during
the day? I told him non. As a result, he prescribe some
drugs that only give me a temporal 7days relief. After 7 days,
the pain actually continued, so I went back to the hospital
and the doctor suggested that I should always take 5 to
10minutes off work in every 50 minutes by stretching
my body and a little walk. So, I followed the doctor’s advice
and it has really helped me in all facets of life.
So, I thought I’d give you one of my favorite high performance plans.
You’ll be 30% more productive (and energized), if you do these four things:
1. Sleep 50 minutes more.
Unless you usually sleep 8 hours per night, bump your
regular sleep routine up by 50 minutes. This means go
to bed 50 minutes earlier. That extra sleep will improve
your cognitive scores by 22% within 7 days..
2. Spend 50 minutes in the morning stretching and strategizing.
Stretch for 20 minutes then strategize your day for 30 minutes.
This means you do not check email or respond to others
in the first 50 minutes of the day. This alone will change your life.
3. Work/create in 50-minute scheduled blocks.
During these blocks, NOTHING is allowed to happen except
you focus and work. You don’t take calls, look at your inbox,
browse, or start other activities. You do ONE THING.
I block 4-5 of these per day. FOCUS.
4. Every 50 minutes, take a BREAK.
I set an alarm on my phone to go off every 50 minutes.
It helps me get that block time done, but it also makes sure I
stand, stretch and hydrate every hour. It refreshes the mind,
allows the body to re-align after sitting, and builds up tremendous stores of energy.
I have proven these four things can get anyone 30% more energy
and effectiveness in just one week. The above technique have
been applied in many companies. In fact, some companies even
put indicators of what you should do every 50 minutes and failure
to it will attract query. So, you can also try it out for the
next 7days and see what will happen after all, there is no risk at stake.
