Learn an Unorthodox Productivity Strategy with Universal Events

It may seem counterintuitive, but we at Universal Events believe that everything on your to-do list should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete. If you want to enforce this 10-minute rule for your important tasks, we’d like to suggest a few tips to help you do so. You might be amazed at how it will boost your productivity. If you really want to make more time for yourself using the 10-minute strategy, begin by delegating simpler tasks. This can be a bit tough at first, because you’ll probably have some reservations about the quality of the work once it’s out of your hands. However, this is a good time to remind yourself that done is better than perfect. Delegating also creates opportunity for others, so there are several positives to be considered. Skepticism is understandable when beginning this approach, but we feel confident that you will quickly discover just how many of the tasks on your to-do list can be completed in 10 minutes or less. You’ll also realize that more complex tasks can easily be broken down into 10-minute segments. Suppose you need to research a new topic. You could spend 10 minutes scanning recent news articles online, 10 minutes writing what you know and what you need to learn, and 10 minutes calling someone to get advice and answers to the questions you have. This entire process might have taken hours, but the 10-minute strategy would help break it down considerably. Adopting this productivity strategy will have you completing simple tasks quickly, delegating the ones for which you don’t quite have time, and making larger projects much more manageable.
