The #1 best productivity hack in 2020 and beyond
But surely there can’t be just one single productivity hack to rule them all?
Allow me to take you on a ride to guess which one it is, and when you see how simple it is, how easy and free to do.. you will be shocked!
Imagine you feel all sluggish, confused, no motivation, no inspiration.
Maybe you’ve been working all day, or maybe you had fun all day, which ever it may be. You feel tired and exhausted, and you are trying to do some epic sh$t. - It ain’t gonna happen that way bro. Not in a billion years.
Inspiration takes a special moment after enough rest, and motivation comes when there is nothing else pressing you to do some more important thing that your body is telling you to do.
Your body doesn’t care about your tasks you have to do, your crowded schedule or your To-Do lists.
If you aren’t sufficiently rested, if your brain haven’t restored to it’s full capacities after a good sleep or a power nap. It will feel like hitting a road bump after a road bump, and a task that takes 5 minutes will take 2 hours to finish.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
It may feel like you are doing something meaningful when you are pulling a 16 hours workday, and then don’t have the time to rest sufficiently to even function, let alone to enjoy the very reason and the result of your work.
Around here, we teach to do things the smart way.
So I’m guessing that you have probably guessed what is the secret hack by now. - You are right, IT IS SLEEP! A good old sleep.
Unfortunately many “experts” and “gurus” out there are trying to prove it scientifically that each of us have some magical personal amount of sleep we need. They even go so far to say its as little as just a few hours. And people like Thomas Edison used to say people who sleep when it’s dark are less intelligent and are fools.
But here is what I learned from my own experience:
#1) I have the best inspiration, motivation and speed to work, and even zero need for mid-day naps. When I wake up on my own, without any alarm clocks, and when I finish my REM phase and my dreams, which are very important to re-wind before waking up fully and to remember.
That thing right there gives me the satisfaction that my subconscious mind knows the meaning of the dream and knows what to do according to it.
It is at that moment when I feel rested and ready to pull the day and do it all, and whichever sh#t hits me, I’m ready for it!
And the second thing is…
#2) When I worked enough and I am starting to feel sluggish and unproductive, I would literally feel the sudden moment, the feeling in my spine and neck, that tells me they can no longer stand upright and it is time to regenerate. -That’s when I wrap up everything in my ZENKIT app, or just leave the tabs open to continue in the morning.
That’s it! That’s the whole hack right there.
Nothing special, nothing fancy, simple and powerful.
SOME FACTS:
During your waking hours, a compound called adenosine, a byproduct of energy consumption, accumulates in several key locations in the brain. As adenosine increases, it signals your brain to prepare the body for sleep. During sleep your brain’s cells break down the adenosine. If you don’t get enough sleep, too much adenosine remains, making you feel tired when you wake up.
When daylight begins fading, your eyes notify the brain, and the pineal gland at the base of your brain starts to pump melatonin into your bloodstream. As the melatonin increases, it signals your body that it’s time for sleep, and it helps you feel drowsy. When morning arrives and the retina detects light, it signals the brain to slow down the release of melatonin. Even the smallest amount of light can reduce the production of melatonin and start to wake us up.
