Increasing the amount of hours you work, doesn’t actually mean you will get more done. Working insanely long hours usually kills your productivity and leaves you feeling miserable and burnt out. This is why it’s so important to set time limits and work “power hours.”
Completely commit yourself to work on something for one hour. At the end of that hour, decide if you want to keep working, and if so, fully commit for another hour.
By doing this, you are forcing yourself to remain focused.
Once that hour is up, you can do whatever you want but during that hour you need to give 100% of your available energy to the task at hand.
Now that I implement power hours in my workflow, I am able to complete tasks within the hour, which previously would have taken me two to three hours.
I recently wrote about this along with some other great tricks to improve your productivity on my blog - http://ift.tt/1iI47Y4
