00:00so what if the secret to be more productive was not just grinding harder and longer more hours but
00:08really just a series of micro rests so today I want to go over nine ideas that I think it really
00:16is really cool they can help you be more productive with a work-from-home job remote
00:21jobs something like that the first one and this is the the best advice I ever got was to make a
00:28schedule and just stick to it okay and this is how it works I would say it depends on what type of
00:35work-from-home job you do if you do sales if you do content creation affiliate marketing blogging
00:40video creation or anything like that where you control your schedule you want to to be disciplined
00:49enough to create a schedule now how it works is this first you put on the hat of a business owner
00:53and you create a schedule and it'll be crazy you want to work maybe 90 hours a week you'll burn out
01:00and then what you do is you put on the hats of somebody's an employee and you create a schedule
01:05and you'll probably want to work like like no hours like four hours a week or two hours or some crazy
01:12number then what you have to do is you have to make them both happy and you have to schedule time off as
01:17well and time when you just stop working it's so hard for me I get in this groove this zone I'm like
01:24oh yeah stop and the next day boom I get I'm just I can't wait to get into it and it's just a killer
01:32advice whatever you're doing now obviously some jobs are different but if you create your own schedule
01:37highly recommend it uh okay uh next up is the 2020-20 rule and I suck at this like hardcore what this means
01:46is every 20 seconds if you you look at something 20 feet away uh for 20 seconds to prevent eye strain
01:55and I don't do this but what I do is every hour I force myself and it's so hard to get up walk around look at
02:05something I stretch my stretch my arms my fingers my wrist my neck and I walk around I stretch my eyes as well
02:12so I kind of combine everything once um you know you could do something like every 30 minutes to do it
02:18but every I think 20 seconds that's wrong maybe that's 20 minutes every 20 minutes I might have
02:27messed up that there's no every 20 seconds whoops spelling mistake I just realized that okay there you go
02:3420 minutes uh okay walk around yeah so wherever you you know get the blood moving walk around my house
02:41if it's nasty outside I do that uh sometimes I do these deep breathing exercises do some arms
02:47exercises as well I kind of combine a little bit of everything um okay body weight movements yes I mean
02:55walking around only do so much you know I think it's really good every day to schedule to get your
03:01heartbeat up and I try to do a little bit swimming jogging tennis or if it's really nasty outside and you
03:08don't want to go outside you burpees and burpees are amazing try to do 10 of them with this is a
03:14burpee you squat down and you do a plank you jump back up jump forward and you do a jump and then you
03:22jump up right if you do 10 of them your heartbeat will go up and if it's nasty outside and you want
03:27to work out you do a few burpees boom more blood to your brain to everywhere right it's an amazing thing
03:35but what I try to do is I try to do this in the morning or in the afternoons I go swimming or
03:39jogging or I do something that gets my heartbeat up okay uh tie your desk or workspace uh yeah I mean
03:47my whole room here is completely empty I love it you know my table it has some stuff on it but uh you
03:54know mostly it's empty too and this helps you uh gives you a sense of calm you know creative feelings
04:00stuff like that uh oh another killer idea is get rid of notifications on your phone you know no
04:07notifications no updates no dinging danging that distract you that takes you from that groove and
04:13that that zone that you're doing all right uh fluids okay you may be mentally throwing the tomato at me
04:20like yeah of course the fluids but you'd be surprised how many people forget about it uh you know I have a
04:24family member who's always tired and I'm like will these you drink enough water it's like oh yeah so you
04:30know there you go lots of water so you don't get to keep you energized uh switch tasks this helps me
04:36sometimes you know my brain can only go for so long before I get bored uh so switching tasks you know
04:43throughout the day um or whatever can can help you re-energize yourself and this depends on what
04:48you're doing right I'll just give you an example if you're doing something like say with like writing
04:53like blogging or video you can take a break and do some keyword keyword research on what keywords you
05:01want to go after you could go do some learning you know for a little bit and then come back you know
05:06you kind of mix it up and uh you know to me it really helps me it keeps me energized so I keep going
05:12and I do a lot of different tasks too so I think it helps me uh okay uh this one sounds super cheesy
05:21but I've never tried this but I think it's a great idea is write down three wins of the day
05:27and again you know it's studies show that it gives you a dopamine effect you know natural high
05:34uh and that dopamine can increase motivation willingness to continue it probably helps the
05:41most when you're mentally fatigued and you just want to quit you know we've all been there like
05:45how am I even doing why am I doing this uh but there's also a lot more benefits as well
05:50because it reinforces a sense of progress that builds confidence you know helps buffer against
05:55burnout and frustration we've all been there uh makes your brain feel less overloaded trains your
06:02brain to notice progress it helps interrupt negative thought spirals and helps your sex life
06:10I'm just joking put that in there see if anybody's even reading what I'm saying on this post uh yeah
06:16next one is the power nap I don't do this at all but I think this is so cool uh I didn't know this but
06:22even just closing your eyes in the middle of the day of the afternoon can be beneficial
06:27and a study found that just 15 minutes of waking rest you know you're not sleeping you just close
06:33your eyes you're chilling after you know learning improved compared to doing a distraction task
06:40during that same time uh so yeah it helps memory constant consolidation if I can say that word right
06:50uh even without sleep and that's really cool so there's some ideas uh on how to uh you know just
06:57get more energy when you're doing a desk job at home or whatever you know to just you know so that
07:03you could well be happy and be more productive uh hope is entertaining and cool if you want more or
07:11maybe like hey you know I really want to do like a like a work from home job you know but how I find
