# How to work faster

It's time to ditch the myth that working faster means rushing through tasks. 

<br>

It’s about efficiency – in 2 simple steps:

<br>

Step 1: Spend 15 minutes in the morning scheduling your day and designating time blocks to each task.

<br>

Step 2: Actually stick to those designated time blocks.

<br>

Focused blocks of time will increase productivity and allow you to move onto each task with an unburdened mind.

You’ve probably heard that you’re supposed to “work smarter, not harder”&#x20;

<br>

But here’s what it actually means in practice:

<br>

1\) Create routines that \*limit\* decision-making

<br>

2\) Divide work into smaller tasks

<br>

3\) Time block!&#x20;

<br>

4\) Use time management matrix quadrants to prioritize tasks

<br>

5\) Set deadlines for each and every task

<br>

6\) Quit multitasking

<br>

7\) Understand + honor your power hours for crushing through work
