From the course: Nano Tips to Simplify Complex Workflows with Lisa Bodell

Simplify daily routines

- Your daily routine is either fueling your success or draining your energy. Duke University research showed that 40% of daily actions are habits. If your routine isn't working well, neither are you. Many people on Nike's executive team follow a structured morning routine that prioritizes decision making early in the day. And this practice has led to faster strategic thinking and higher productivity. Here's how to refine your routine. Schedule deep work during your peak energy hours, batch similar tasks together, and set a hard stop on tasks to avoid burnout. So what habits aren't helping you? What do you allow to happen at work that prevents you from getting things done? Swap out one inefficient habit for a more productive one today because better routines get better results.
