Productivity Lessons From Clear developers (end). lessons 7-8

If we compare the known application of the Clear Realmac Software with other task managers, as soon as it becomes clear that in terms of functionality, it is seriously inferior to its competitors. It allows a simple to-do lists - without specifying the date, time and dates, set reminders, add descriptions.

But because of its obviousness, the original design and perfect management, Clear has many admirers and fans. Many of them perceive it as something more than just a task manager, because this app has become integral part of their way of life and are constantly used in everyday life.

For such users, developers Clear conducted a course on productivity, in the form of a weekly e-mail-mailing.

MacRadar already published a translation of the six lessons of this course (Start, extension), And now we invite you to examine the last two lessons.

Lesson 8. be healthy

sleep more

The best way to spend the day productively - it's sleep. Most of us need to average 7.5-8 hours of sleep to fully spend the next day.

regular breaks

Even if you draw in terms of performance of the task, it is important to take breaks. Try to get up from the chair, stretch, and walk to "disconnect" from work for a few minutes. If you can afford it, breathe a little fresh air.

Avoid dehydration

In try to avoid dehydration and keep a bottle of water during the day. The day is recommended to drink about 2 liters of water, so it is likely that you do not drink as much as it should. In general, the drink water ...;)
