A simple productivity hack

I have learned a simple productivity hack that is working very well for me. Here it is:

1. Choose one task

2. Set your phone timer for 20 minutes

3. For that 20 minutes just focus on that one task. No email, phone calls, texts, facebook wall posting, tweets allowed

4. Once you are done, take a 5 minute break for all the distractions

5. Repeat


I often get more done in these 20 minute sprints than in one hour of distracting work. How did it work for you?

Once again considered for Clear Admit Best blogger award

My new Resume site + great marketing

Thanks to the folks at snappages.com, I have a new resume site here. Snappages offers users the ability to create a free site with the use of their LinkedIn profile. It gives the user something of value, and also engages the user, moving them from the interest phase to the evaluation phase in the marketing funnel. Great marketing!

Great marketing example

Hilton just showed Kellogg a brilliant piece of marketing. All graduating students get free five years of Gold status for Hilton Honors. 40% of Kellogg students end up in consulting => lot of high paying customers. Extremely good targeting Hilton!
