In keeping with our new mantra of keep it simple, I invite you to implement a daily Power Hour. We bandy about strategies for focusing and concentrating our mind on technical or creative pursuits, but the single most useful tactic to get more done in less time is to eliminate all distractions and “uni-task.” That doesn’t sound too complicated does it? But, but…people need me…I can’t be out of the loop. Really? Even for an hour?

Just give it a try and you’ll see how valuable it is. For 60 minutes each day, shut off and shut out everything else and just focus on doing whatever task or project you’ve chosen. If you can’t manage 60 minutes, try 30. Alternatively try one or two longer periods each week. Any time you can carve out will help.

C’mon. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
