    Track your life to learn where you can start saving time.

    Do you know about the 80-20 rule? If you don’t, here’s a recap. The 80/20 rule states that 80 percent of what you accomplish results from just 20 percent of all your time and energy. And this rule is the case for pretty much everything you do – this includes your studies, your work, and your exercise routines. 

    As the rule suggests, you should spend most of your focus on this vital 20 percent. But how do you figure out what 20 percent of time and tasks you need to focus on?

    You need to start tracking. By tracking your work and your time, you’ll get a good idea of where it’s being spent well and where it isn’t.

    Now, this sounds great! But who’s got time to live their busy schedule and observe it at the same time? Luckily, there are a few resources which can make tracking your time much easier.

    First, there’s RescueTime. It’s a program that monitors what you’re actually doing on your computer all day. If you use it, you’ll be able to spot which websites or applications are stealing your day away. RescueTime will then help you block access to them. Problem solved!

    RescueTime is a great way to track your productivity. But, what if you want to track your health as well?

    One great way to track your health is to go back to basics with an old-school paper journal. In your journal, record everything you eat during the day. As well as this, you could get your hands on a pedometer or smartwatch to count all the steps you take and you should also make an effort to weigh yourself each day. It might seem like a lot, but the more you know about your health each day, the sooner you’ll be able to improve it. 

    When you’ve tracked your life, and gained an idea of where you’re spending your time wisely and where you’re wasting it, it’s time to optimize it. But how do you do this? How do you craft a daily routine that works? Well, you should think of it as optimizing your processes. For a role model, look to IKEA. Each IKEA product comes with highly optimized instruction manuals for assembling each product, whether it’s a coffee table or geometric lamp. These instructions have been boiled down to their very essence – a few language-independent, easy-to-follow steps. 

    Approach your life like IKEA approaches its manuals. Whatever the task, whether it’s writing emails or organizing meetings, you should minimize the fuss and get it done in as few steps as possible.

    Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

    Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

    Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

    Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.
