#2: Would You Like to Know the Answer to Your Low Productivity?

3 Productivity Power Habits.

The Be Your Eagle Daily Planner introduces 3 time management techniques and by learning, recalling, using, tracking, and coaching these techniques, they become productivity power habits. These productivity power habits work together to increase your productivity by +1% every single week.

So, let’s find out a bit more about these 3 heroes, shall we?

Eisenhower’s Matrix

First up is a technique created by President Eisenhower himself, who said:

"I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent."

Did you know that 98.2% of people have trouble prioritising tasks? (Reclaim.ai). This matrix solves that problem. Eisenhower’s Matrix technique enables you to assess your to-do list and categorise your tasks into what is urgent and important, and what is neither.

Eat That Frog

It's Easter week, so we all have bunnies and chicks on the brain, but we'd like to move away from those and introduce you to a different animal.

Eat That Frog.?

On average, people waste 218 minutes every day by procrastinating. This is 55 days per year (Warwick University).

Eat That Frog,? a time management technique by Mark Twain, encourages you to avoid procrastination by prioritising your most challenging tasks first. Mark Twain said:

"If part of your job was to eat a frog, you'd want to get that out of the way first, and if your job was to eat two frogs, you'd want to eat the biggest one first."

Cabbage Butterfly

"Did you know that task switching can decrease your efficiency by 40%?"

Paul Atchley (Professor of Cognitive Psychology) conducted a study that concluded that after getting distracted, it takes 15 minutes to return to your primary task, which can see a drop in efficiency of up to 40%.

Enter the Cabbage Butterfly technique. This technique enables you to finish one task from start to finish by chunking your time, rather than fluttering from one cabbage to another like the butterfly.

These productivity power habits allow you to Assess, Prioritise, and Focus.
