How To Finish One Month of Work in a Day video.
- Tie your outcome to a clear goal.
- Pre-set the target and schedule it beforehand.
- Clear the load using active recovery. (Go to bed deaf, blind, cold, hungry for 7-9 hours)
- Do decision-making tasks the day before(clothes, food, etc.)
- Wrap up all lose ends the day before. Texts, emails, calls, meetings, etc.
- Organize your workspace beforehand.
- Pause all life maintenance load – cooking, cleaning, laundry etc – outsource or do beforehand or save for later. Tell all your relatives you are disappearing for the day.
- Turn off distractions – phone, use app blockers on PC.
- Make self-distraction impossible. No distracting thoughts. If they come, not them down and forget them for the time.
- Stack flow-blocks together.
- Wake up in flow and dive into highest priority task right away. No morning routine.
- Treat each flow block as an event, like a battle. It should have a trigger -like closing the door, wearing an earphone, sipping a coffee, after which you attack.
- Cement the commitment. Don’t let its “special-ness” erode. It should be different from every other day in your life. Make it holy and sacrosanct. Keep a higher consequence environment. Use rewards.
- Have an hour by hour schedule. Have enough long breaks. But do nothing else during the breaks. Just relax.
- First three hours work. Then one hour non-stimulating recovery. Meditate, yoga, shower, no food here except sugarless coffee.
- 3 more hours of flow followed by another 1hr recovery. Nap, walk, stretching, very light food
- 2 more hours of flow followed by 2 hours of active recovery. Workout, big nap, massage, etc.
- Then 3 more hours of flow.
- Reward yourself. Done.
