When was the last time you heard "I wish I had more time!", "I wish the day was longer so I can get everything done."

A lot of us when we first go on the journey to becoming successful think that time is the limiting factor.

And it makes logical sense to think like that, but it doesn't explain how some people get A LOT more done with the same 24 hours.

In fact, when we look at the most successful people they're often the ones who have the most "free" time.

So there's something clearly wrong with how we manage ourselves.

One big idea that helped me a lot with understanding how productivity works is when I realized that energy you have is the specific limitation.

You can have all the time in the world, but if you don't manage your energy, properly you're not going to get a lot of things done.

And some things that should take 30 minutes to do now take 3 hours because you've spent your energy on the wrong things.

Things that can take energy away:
Absorbing Social Media content
Multi-tasking
Negative people
Procrastination
Eating junk food
Not taking breaks
Distractions
Stressful environments

All these things, either passively or actively, take away some of your energy. There's much more to add to the list, but these are some that happen almost every single day.

Another big one understands that you have limited capacity for self-control and focus.

Researchers refer to this concept as ego depletion; we can only force attention for a short time and then that focus muscle gets fatigued.

And if we use our focus on the wrong things it's easy to become spent for the day and has no more ability to do higher level creative work that requires your full attention.

Besides avoiding these energy sapping behaviors, there's one way you can structure your work to have more energy.

By taking planned breaks between periods of focus, you can maximize your energy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...

An excellent example of this is the popular Pomodoro technique.

You only set a timer for 20 - 45 minutes and set blocks of 20 - 45 minutes of focused work.

Having a time constraint helps to create a sense of urgency which adds intensity to the work you're doing again using your energy more efficiently.

Another important factor is knowing which part of the day you have the most energy.

Some people find that they're most focused in the morning, while others find that to be the afternoon.

For me, mornings are when I get most of the work done. And evenings are the time for learning and training.

If you're currently not sure what time of the day you're most focused, then it's a good idea to do some testing and see what works best.

The same applies to managing your energy, think of past days when you were the most productive and try to recall what happened.

What leads to the productivity increase? What did you do that day?

We all have these days when everything just clicked and it went fantastic, but we rarely reverse engineer them to see what caused this to happen.

A little bit of this self-awareness goes a long way.
