Email management
Many employees start their day by checking emails, but research suggests that starting with deep work on the highest priority task (A1) can be more beneficial for productivity.
Here are a few reasons why:
- Peak Energy Levels: Most people have higher energy levels in the morning, making it an ideal time for tackling complex tasks that require deep focus and concentration.
- Reducing Distractions: Starting with emails can lead to a chain of responses, notifications, and mental switching between tasks, which can hinder productivity and decrease overall work quality.
-
Highest priority: By prioritizing deep work, employees can proactively tackle important tasks and make progress on long-term projects, rather than getting bogged down in reactive work like responding to emails.
- Feel good hormones:When you have started and finished a difficult task as task that often get procastrinated than you feel you have acoomplished something big and that releases feel good hormones that set the tone for the rest of the day.
- After complishing a relaxation: when completed and feel good a big load is from the shoulders the day is allready a succes and that helps to feel motivated to accomplish the other tasks in a good mood and good pace.
