How I Got More Done, Reduced Stress, Increased Focus, And Mastered Time Management In 10 Minutes A Day

No, I’m not going to tell you to meditate.

I scheduled every minute of my work week for the past two weeks and am blown away at the impact of doing so.

So we can use a technique that psychologists call implementation intentions — which is a fancy way of saying planning out what we will do and when we will do it — to make sure that we become more likely to do the things we really want to do.”
