(2) Productivity: How can I increase my productivity on my side projects at the end of ... - 0 views

  • try to minimize startup and switching costs, in other words, the time it takes to get started working on the side project. This way, even if I only have a few minutes to work on it before I turn in for the night, I can still do something useful. Also, I try to make each opportunity count. These are hard to come by and so it is good not to waste any single minute.
  • The best advice I've heard about how to do this is to do this in the mornings. Sleep early, get up early and the best part of your day will be spent working on what's most important to you.
  • Exercise. It's hard after a day of work to come home and exercise but it's truly the best way to get your brain going and recharge. Studies have proven that being active increases productivity. Run for 30 minutes, take a class at a gym, do some sit ups. Give your brain a break and your body a workout, then get back to the computer.
