Killer 1 Minute productivity hack...

​​In his time managment masterpiece, "18 Minutes", Peter Bregman totally hits it out of the park with dozens of super doable productivity hacks that WILL improve how you get things done.

Here's an example: At the end of each [working] hour, take a brief moment... just a minute or so to reflect on what you did during the last 60 minutes. It's not easy to remember what we did during a certain time period days or even hours ago but hopefully, we can reflect back on the last hour!
​
This habit will give you a real gut check when it comes to how we use our most valuable posession... our time. And he wrote that long before the greatest time thief ever invented was right at our fingertips... which makes this discipline about a million times more important today.

​​Here's what I did to help me remember to do this. I took 5 minutes to set an alarm on my phone at 59 minutes past every working hour... (7:59am, 8:59am, etc). I picked out the least disruptive alarm I could find on my phone which is "beep once".

So every hour, when that thing goes off, I intantly take just 1 minute to ask myself... hmm, what am I doing right now and what have I been doing for the last 60 minutes? Admittedly, I don't always like the answer but I think that's the whole point of this exercist... Improving my productivity by holding myself accountable!

​Give it a shot!
