If you want to be more productive, time management is key. If you have a lot of stuff to do with limited time, you need to learn how to prioritize. Not all tasks are equal.

What will give me the most value?"

Follow these 3 steps to achieve a higher level of productivity. Invest the time into mastering your schedule and task management - it will pay off in the long term.

Step 1: Understand how you're currently spending your time.

Specifically pay attention to:

• Where your gaps are.
• Times in the day you are usually unproductive or get distracted.
• Pockets of time you could be productive in (like transit).
  • During these times, think about how you can be doing things that add value to you, like listening to podcasts or reading articles/papers.
• Activities you do that are not giving you value.
  • If you identify things you're doing that don't give you value, cut them out. Take initiative and control of your time. Stop doing things that don't help you grow, and replace them with high value activities.
