Translated from Web worker Daily: "Change Your Work Hours to Get More Done . "
One of my favorite children's authors, Roald Dahl, had a very specific daily routine. “I start at 10 and finish at exactly 12. Always.” He said in an interview with Todd McCormack.
For residents of a society with a busy rhythm, this sounds incredible, but working in such a rhythm Roald Dahl made a brilliant career as a writer. He is the author of such best-selling books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Big Good Giant (my favorite book).
I do not urge everyone to work only 2 hours a day. But why not, if that's your daily high? Why force yourself to work during hours that do not suit you? As a web worker, you are the master of your time and work schedule.
Studying yourself and your work patterns is the key to an effective daily routine. It took me years until I realized that my best hours to work are between 6am and noon. By paying attention to my productivity patterns, I would come to this conclusion much earlier and save time.
You probably already know whether you are an early bird or an owl, and this can be the starting point for determining the best hours to work. Attention! Conduct an experiment: try to work in the opposite hours. Maybe this will be exactly what you need. I always considered myself an owl, but I tried to start working before 9 in the morning, and I liked it. Of course, the use of willpower was not complete :-)
It is amazing what the difference in productivity is from a simple change of working hours. As soon as I concentrated my efforts on work during peak hours, work went faster than I would have thought. What was supposed to be done a week earlier, now it takes me several hours.
Result? I have more time, more money, less stress.
