Do less. This is my favorite productivity tip, as long-time readers know — simplify your schedule by doing fewer things but focusing on the important things. Focus on one project and get it done. Instead of juggling a large number of projects, set aside a block of time to do one project until completion. Learn to say no. This is crucial if you want to have a simplified schedule. Don’t watch too much TV. I personally have wasted entire days watching TV, so I know what a big time-hole television can be.
