Design Your Day | Focus Hour vs Recharge Break

Our internal clock determines our optimal focus time during the day. Some people perform best in the morning, others in the afternoon or evening. Find out when you are most and least productive.

  • Most productive: During your peak focus hours, work on the most critical tasks that require focus for a long time.
  • Least productive: Use low-focus hours for LITs (least important tasks), such as administrative work, responding to emails, and scheduling appointments.

Set up a focus hour to work on one critical task. After an hour, take a short 20 mins recovery break. During the break, STOP processing all information and go for a walk, hydrate, or eat
