Understanding Time Perception
Humans often misjudge time. Studies show we underestimate short tasks and overestimate long ones. This phenomenon, known as the planning fallacy, can hinder effective time management.
Biological Prime Time
Your body has peak performance times. Known as 'biological prime time,' these periods vary per person. Identify your peak times and align your most critical tasks with them for increased productivity.
The 2-Minute Rule
Tasks that take two minutes or less should be done immediately. This quick action prevents small tasks from piling up and overwhelming you, improving overall efficiency and reducing stress.
Time Blocking Technique
Allocate specific time slots for different activities. This technique, called time blocking, can drastically enhance focus and productivity. It's especially effective when combined with your biological prime time.
Pareto Principle Application
The Pareto Principle suggests 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Identify and prioritize these high-impact activities to maximize efficiency and achieve more with less effort.Time Perception and Age
Studies show time feels faster as we age. This is due to perception changes in our brain, making years seem shorter.
