Famous entrepreneurs, and billionaires strongly follow certain guidelines to make their day productive. Following are famous entrepreneurs and CEOs productivity hacks, these lessons can help you enhance your daily productivity and impact.

Short meeting

Most of us waste our precious day of time in meetings where we discuss and rest of the day we make agenda and list the things that we discussed in the meetings and when at the end of the day we are low we do things but are unable to do much. So instead schedule meetings only if necessary and that too short, quick, precise meetings so that you could do the best rest of the day.

  • Virgin Group founder, Richard Branson prefers walking meetings so that he doesn’t waste much time on meetings.
  • Gary Vaynerchuk says meetings are a waste of time and money.
  • Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Jack Dorsey also had walking meetings.

Focus on critical work of the day

He also likes to break his entire day into a series of five-minute slots which may be difficult for a normal person but the point is to assign the time to the task as per the priority and try to finish it within that time. Assigning time should be the first thing in the morning so that you know what you need to do for the rest of the day.

Sometimes back to back work kill your creativity at work. That’s why Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, take 90 minutes to 2 hours buffers in his day where he doesn’t do anything but only thinks so that he can do a great job. You can also take this time to chill for a while and read or learn something in this period.
