As a 7-minute tune a working mood

You need only seven minutes to fully immerse yourself in working the case in the morning. Before you get to work, try to perform the following steps and you will see for yourself how will improve your productivity and mood. You are ready?

Before you begin: Prepare

First you need to find a quiet place. Tip for those who work in the open space type offices: it is not your job. The machine also will not work - there are too many things that will distract attention. Most likely, it is more convenient to be in the lobby or on the balcony. You can come early, so that no one interfered. More you will need a notebook or a notebook for records (make sure you bring a pen). And, of course, it takes hours. Otherwise, you will be able to pinpoint the time and be sure that the missed exactly seven minutes.

First minute: clear your mind

We're not going to go into religious matters, to arrange a sermon or call all meditate. But every person on the planet who has to work, it is vital to follow this well-known truth. You need to clear your mind. Put aside the phone with a lot of incoming or iPad, you do not let go. In the next seven minutes, they will not need it. Clear your head of thoughts - then come to work, try to forget about home affairs and take a breath.

Second minute: breathe a little

Stress and tension can be handled in different ways. But in any case, deep breathing calms and helps to focus. Follow the breath helpful throughout the day. And early in the day so warm-up will help to stop the flow of thoughts and direct it in the right direction. Just sit quietly and breathe.

Minutes from the third to sixth: take notes and draw

I am writing in my notebook all day long, as soon as I wake up and drink a cup of coffee and up to the moment when you have to go to bed. Including at meetings and conferences. But what you have to do now has nothing to do with the conduct or personal diary notes. As soon as you arrive at work, write down in your notebook the first five thoughts that come to your mind. Draw them in the form of sketches or doodles. It is a way to set priorities, decide what's important to you and what is secondary. Just do not get hung up on the design, it is better to focus his thoughts.

Seventh minute: Analyze

After taking a few notes, look at the time and make sure that everything had to fix exactly one minute before the end. Now you can start the analysis. Review your notes for the second time. Think about what you have written and why. Select only one item from your list and focus on it for the last 30 seconds. For example, if you take a quick note about what you need to complete the report, focus on this problem and think about how you are going to solve it today.

That's all. Seven minutes. We advise to follow this simple plan every day to tune to work and get involved in the business becomes much easier, as well as to choose the most priority task. Try to stick to this method for at least a week. And the results will surprise you.
