All hours of the day are not equal for you and your productivity abilities.

There are parts of the day when you are at your peak level of productivity and strength. You are unstoppable. But there are hours when you are lazy, you are slow and even feel yourself “stupid”.

How to use these periods of superior and poor activity in order to improve your efficiency and do more things, do them better and with less effort?

There are three simple steps you should perform in order to boost your productivity using daily-cycles. These steps are:

1. Detect

First of all, take a day of your life and observe your productivity levels during that day, your ability to act efficiently. Look at more than one days if you need. Search and find the pattern. Your personal pattern of activity during the day.

The general pattern looks like a ocean wave (in general):

Starting at your peak level, you have a period of decreasing productivity after it, then you reach your lowest level of productivity. After that your abilities grow and you are in a peak form again. This cycle work for everyone of us, but has a different form and size for different people. It is up to you to observe yourself and detect:

• When for you is the beginning and the end of every part of the cycle.
• Is there something (situation, action sequence, etc.) which unleashes the power of every cycle-part.
• What you can do better and more productive during every part of the day-cycle.

2. Dispatch & Schedule

When you are ready with your investigations it is time for planning. Set yourself a simple plan about when starts every cycle-part and what you are going to do when you are on this certain productivity level. For example:

• Part I. Top Productivity: Decision making. Actions. Battles.
• Part II. Decreasing Productivity: Meetings. Paperwork.
• Part III. Bottom of Your Productivity: Rest. Fun.
• Part IV. Increasing Productivity: Planning. Phone calls.

This way you will be able to adapt yourself to your personal schedule/cycle. And you are going to use your resources on the maximum.

3. Follow the Flow

Now is a time for action. The research has been finished, the plan has been prepared. Now you just have to follow your productivity dispatching scheme and do the things you’ve planned to do is each of the day-cycle parts.
