Last time I posted on the topic of productivity in #14, the recommendation was to create a list of 3 primary tasks and have a separate list of secondary tasks (or to do’s). If we were asked what part of the day would be the best time to work on those primary tasks, we may say working on it first thing is best but is it common knowledge that mornings are usually the optimal time for our brains? When indeed our brains are most fresh, in the morning, prioritize highest return opportunities for the morning. This strategy could be the missing part of the puzzle if you weren’t making as much progress as you wanted on your primary tasks.
