What’s in it for me? Learn the most effective tricks to manage your daily life.

Manage Your Day-To-Day is a compilation of the insights gained from 20 creative minds across various fields. In reading about these famous creatives, you will learn the tricks that they personally use to manage their time, create effective work routines and nurture their creativity.

In addition, you’ll see just how easy it is to adapt these principles and techniques to your daily life. Even the simplest tweaks can make your work all the more effective, help you to be more conscientious of how you use technology and ensure that creative blocks won’t set you back.

After reading these blinks, you’ll know

how flossing your teeth can actually make you more productive;
why you should never respond to any emails before lunchtime; and
why cultivating a garden can lead to your next creative breakthrough.

Develop a daily routine that matches your body’s rhythm.

If you’re like most people, then the first thing you do when you get to the office is check your email. While this might seem like a good idea, starting your day with this simple task can actually reduce your overall productivity.

Our bodies follow what’s called a circadian rhythm, whereby our energy levels wax and wane throughout a 24-hour period. These rhythms cause us to be more effective in the morning and we should therefore reserve that time for important or difficult tasks.

When we get to work and see an inbox full of unread messages, it’s tempting to try to immediately resolve the stress of knowing that someone is waiting for our response by answering those emails. But answering emails is a simple task that doesn’t require much thought or creativity.

What’s more, responding to emails or phone calls in the morning causes you to use your most effective time working on other people’s priorities.

And when you finally get around to working on your own projects, you’ll find yourself fatigued and less efficient. That’s why creative coach Mark McGuinness suggests that you devise a work routine that allows you time to start your day with your own projects: make it a rule not to respond to any emails before your own creative work is done.

In addition, you should make sure to take breaks and get enough sleep in order to maximize the body’s available energy. How much sleep is enough? While it’s hard to say, consider that only 2.5 percent of the population feels comfortable getting less than seven hours of sleep.

So, if you’re like most, you should devise a routine that allows for at least seven hours of sleep every night, rather than relying on an extra cup of coffee.

And don’t forget to also include breaks in your new work routine: studies have shown that we can maintain peak function for only about 90 minutes at a time. So make sure to pause and relax regularly so that you can recharge.

Working frequently is the key to an effective work routine.

Doing creative work when you aren’t feeling creative can be difficult. Unfortunately, we don’t always have the luxury of waiting until we’re in the right mood. But rather than relying on your mood, you can build a routine that facilitates creativity, no matter how you feel that day.

Essentially, if you work regularly, then you will get regular inspiration. When working on creative projects, many people feel that they can’t work every day because they don’t have enough inspiration. But this simply isn’t true!

Practice focusing your attention regularly and ignore negative distractions.

Admit it: like most people, you struggle with focusing on boring or unpleasant tasks. Unfortunately, we can’t ignore those tasks simply because we don’t like them. Luckily, author, lecturer and productivity consultant Erin Rooney Doland has two great tips to help us work through those trudging tasks.

First, find ways to strengthen your will power at work by training it in other areas of your life.

For maximum efficiency, stick to one task at a time.

If you’ve ever tried getting serious work done while watching your favorite TV show, then you must have realized how inefficient that style of work is. But why is that?

In essence, we’re just not very good at multitasking. Despite this, according to psychologist Dr. Christian Jarrett, most of us believe that we’re quite adept at doing two things at once. However, we are only able to do so successfully when one of the tasks is simple and automatic, such as walking.

Be aware of how and why you are using technology and social media.

Think about the last time you checked your phone: do you know the exact reason why you did it? Most people don’t – they absentmindedly pick up their smartphones, surf the web and check Facebook for no particular reason, and this is especially true for social media.

One good way to prevent yourself from becoming absorbed in technology is to consciously think about why you’re using social media every time you use it.

Technology is supposed to assist you – don’t let it control your life.

Smartphones, laptops, etc., were invented to make our lives easier and more pleasant, yet, it sometimes feels like we live in a science fiction movie, totally at the mercy the technologies that we ourselves create!

While your smartphone doesn’t control your body, it nevertheless controls your behavior, since you just can’t live without it! You must remember that you don’t need your smartphone in every part of your life.

Creative blocks happen to everybody, but there’s a way out.

What do you usually do when you have a bit of spare time? Likely, you don’t spend it sitting around doing nothing, right?

But you ought to! Having time in which you “do nothing” is essential for becoming and staying creative – especially if you’re stuck with a creative block.

Relaxation and a new hobby can boost your creativity.

Surely you know how difficult it can be when you have to come up with creative ideas under pressure. As we’ve seen before, creativity isn’t something that you can just will into motion. Luckily, there are things you can do outside of work to boost your creativity:

For example, if you take time to exercise and get a good rest, you’ll find that you are more creative afterwards. As we’ve already learned, rest and sleep are important ingredients for a productive lifestyle. By the same token, they are also essential for generating creative ideas.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

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.

Ekaterina S.

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

Nils S.

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

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
