Work Efficiency Explains Long Days
- Work efficiency is the percent of your day spent in fully focused work and most people score 20–30%.
- Raising efficiency to ~90% compresses output into a short block and frees time for other life priorities.
Do One Moment Workday Audit First
- Do the One Moment Workday: compress all real work into one uninterrupted 3–6 hour flow block, then stop working for the day.
- Start by auditing your calendar to find actual high-quality work hours (exclude meetings, email, Slack).
Wake Up And Flow To Start Fast
- Set a fixed start and stop time for your flow block and make it consistent daily to build habit.
- Consider 'wake up and flow' by beginning work within ~90 seconds of waking to leverage low cognitive load and primed brain waves.
