How do you stay focussed and productive through these crazy days we’re going through? That was the question I asked Spencer this morning and oh my goodness did he deliver. Just to give you some context, Spencer is the most productive person I know. He has that ability, at will, to switch from human levels of productivity to what can only be described as level 10,000 super human productivity. Not only that, he always seems to remain calm and make things look effortless even in the most challenging situations. He is the perfect war time CEO.
Spencer gives his top 6 tips for super human productivity in tough times.
1. Prioritise ruthlessly - one priority not many
2. Focus on shipping - done is better than perfect - if you think it will take a day, find a way to do it in two hours and ship it if it’s close enough.
3. Chunk your time - Spencer likes to work in 2 hour time slots.
4. Reward yourself - Give yourself something to look forward to after each slot.
5. Visualise your work - Think through each step of the process in your mind before you begin so have a clear plan of what to do.
6. Only do stuff you enjoy - enjoyment is not the same as fun. You can still do hard things and the enjoyment can come from the feeling of overcoming a difficult challenge.
