Here is my another new year resolution in 2017 - improve productivity (see my previous 2017 new year resolution here. The source of these ideas are from http://www.businessinsider.com/bad-habits-that-killing-productivity-2016-12.
- Get out of the bed when the alarm clock buzzes
- Get enough sleep
- Do not keep the tablet next to the bed. I keep the smartphone next to the bed as my alarm clock
- Do not skip breakfast and drink some hot tea before going to the toilet in the morning
- Complete the hardest and most important tasks at the beginning of the day
- Do not check email throughout the day, especially in the middle of the night. When wake up in the morning, only check if there is missing call or text message. Do not read the email until later of the day
- Do not eat junk food or eat less junk food
- Focus on 3 ~ 5 of the most important goals and ignore the rest
- Do not sit all day and walk 50,000 steps in a week
- Do not multitask
- Do not skip the workout
- Do not look up the answer of a random question that just popped into your head. Write it down and search later
- Do not overplan the schedule, instead plan for 4 ~ 5 hours of read work each day
- Do not underplan
- Do not accept a meeting unless the person who requested it has put forth a clear agenda and stated exactly how much time they will need
- Abandon perfectionism
