Creating personal systems for yourself is just as important (if not more so) than creating automated systems for your wesites.
So, here’s a super quick technique that you can use to instantly double or even triple your productivity…

Yes… a $10 digital timer.
Here’s What You Do…
Go grab yourself a cheap digital timer and start creating a new habit.
Sit down at your desk, clear it of any distractions and pick the next most important task you must complete in order to achieve your goal.
Set your timer to 33 minutes and press start.
Until the timer hits zero and the alarm goes off you:
- Must sit at your desk.
No cups of coffee, no phone calls, no patting the dog, no peeking at what’s on TV, no going to the bathroom.
- Must not do ANYTHING that is unrelated to your task.
No checking email, no surfing the web, no chatting to people online. In fact, it’s better that you quit your chats, your email software and browser unless you are specifically using them for that task
That’s it.
If you obey these two rules then you have two choices.
- 1) Be highly productive with all your attention focused on that one task until completion or the alarm goes off.
- 2) Sit at your desk… BORED.
Once you start getting into the swing of using your timer this way it’s like strapping a 2 million gallon liquid-oxygen booster rocket to your productivity and punching the launch button!
Like any new habit, this can be very challenging at first.
You’ll get distracted.
You may start saying things like “I’ll do that as soon as I do this other (not important but easier) thing first…”
Practice and a bit of self-discipline is the key.
Before long I promise you’ll be having fun and enjoying the massive increase in productivity as you watch your todo list start to blur and shrink while your bank balance increases.
You may even find you start challenging yourself…
Just how much can I get done in the next 33 minute block? Two tasks? Three? Four?
So… Grab A Timer And Get Started Now
Give yourself two weeks to master this new habit and make it part of your life.
When you’re sitting back, relaxed and reflecting on all the increased success you’ve achieved and all the extra time you have you’ll be so glad you did.
