Learn how to Touch-type

According to David Allen, author of the productivity uber–bestseller Getting Things Done (2002), if your work requires using any sort of computer, learning how to touch-type is the single most significant thing you can do to improve your productivity. The critical threshold seems to be about sixty words per minute (abbreviated WPM). If you can’t touch-type at least sixty WPM with a low error rate, you’re seriously crippling your ability to do productive work. The less effort you need to put into typing, the more time and energy you have to do higher-value tasks.

The 2 Minute Rule

 

Source: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen (affiliate link)

“I have a two-minute rule that says: If you determine an action can be done in two minutes, you actually should do it right then because it’ll take longer to organize it and review it than it would be to actually finish it the first time you notice it. “ – David Allen

Limit email processing time

Limit your inboxes. Limit your time per day (for example check twice a day at 10am and 4pm). Don’t check all day, every day.

Process quickly. Delete, archive, reply, put on your to-do list or forward. Get it out of the inbox.

Is it entirely necessary that you reply to every email?

Parkinson’s Law and Immediate Goals

Parkinson’s Law: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

In other words, we can have 80% of the result by spending only 20% of our time.

Parkinson’s Law dictates that a task will swell in (perceived) importance and complexity in relation to the time allotted for its completion. It is the magic of the imminent deadline. If I give you 24 hours to complete a project, the time pressure forces you to focus on execution, and you have no choice but to do only the bare essentials.” – Tim Ferris, The 4 Hour Workweek

Limit tasks to the important to shorten work time (80/20).
Shorten work time to limit tasks to the important (Parkinson’s Law).
Focus on being productive instead of busy.”
– Tim Ferriss

Latte Factor

By using what I call The Latte Factor®, you can build a fortune on a few pounds a day.

The trick to getting ahead financially, he said, is watching the small stuff – little spending habits you have that you’d probably be better off without.

What about you? Chances are that you’re earning more than you were ten years ago. But are you saving more? Are you getting ahead or running harder just to stay even? Is your income helping you become more free or less free?

Emergency Money: The Sleep well at Night Factor

How much money should you put aside in order to protect yourself against the proverbial ‘rainy day,’ and where should you put it?

THE THREE RULES OF EMERGENCY MONEY

you need a cash cushion of at least three months’ worth of expenses. Take what you estimate you spend each month, multiply it by three, and you’ve calculated your goal for emergency savings. A year’s worth of expenses is a great ultimate goal to shoot for.

Don’t touch it unless it’s a real emergency. A real emergency is something that threatens your survival, not just your desire to be comfortable.

Ultimately, you will want to keep your rainy day fund separate from your current account. While you could put your rainy day money in the same account you use to pay your bills, you really shouldn’t. When you keep your spending money and your emergency money in the same place, it’s too easy to dip into the rainy day fund for monthly expenses – and before you know it, your emergency fund will be gone.

– David Bach
