I'm not big into the hustle culture. The messages that are prominent today telling people to work ridiculous hours and grind themselves into a pulp before considering a break. I'm not about that message because when we look around we can easily see not everyone who benefits from the rewards of success took that route.
However, action is needed and not just any action, action focused on a trajectory that mirrors the direction of your goals.
So, I ask, can you do more in a day? Can you apply for a few more jobs, can you wake up a little earlier and get things done. Can you do more before bed and put off fewer items until the next day? If you said yes to any of these, I can tell you how to do it.
What has worked for me and helped me maximize time is the use of the Pomodoro technique. Truth is when you are looking for a job the sacrifice of no income comes with the blessing of time. Since time is the resource we have, it's important we invest it for greater returns. We shall manage well the small things that create larger blessings. This time management habit allows you to work with the natural brain limitations and get more things done with less procrastination. The great thing about time management is it yields more free time!! I’ll provide the steps to get you started, but I encourage you to read more about this on your own. It's commonly called the Pomodoro technique. Action steps –
Determine a block of time you will dedicate toward being productive to your goal. For example, you will work on finding a job from 2 hours in the morning.
Next set a goal for that time. I will apply for 50 jobs in that time. (this goal should be a real stretch)
Now get a timer set for 25 minutes. When you start the timer, you will fully engage in action for the duration of that time. When the timer goes off, set another timer for 3-5 minutes which is break time. The biggest factor is you don’t mix any breaktime action in the work time. This means no phone, bathroom getting up for food or anything that takes away from taking powerful action toward your goals. For the entire 2 hours you’ll work intensely for 25-minute intervals and then break and step away for 3 to 5 minutes. You’ll be shocked at how much more productive you’ll be over the course of a day. Try it out and let the community know how well you did. Keep track of how you did in regards to your results goal and try the next day to improve slightly. Daily improvement is always the mini-goal.
My last warning is don’t get tricked by your mind, at times old habits can sabotage our attempts to change. Be cautious of the mind's random thoughts to get you unfocused. This can come in many ways but some common tricks are the need to check on things. “Did I turn the stove off”, “Did I close the garage?” The need to check social media and the random thoughts that say you need to ponder this now or bad things will come soon, can also be a mind trick. Good luck!
