Six Simple Workload Tips: Managing Maximum Performance Without Making Work Your Life
Ever since the Millennial generation entered the workforce, we’re seen a resurgence in the idea that “work” and “life” represent two distinct things: i.e., that we can excel at our jobs and still have an enjoyable life outside the office. Although I personally belong to “Generation X,” I’ve been in the vanguard of this movement: I’ve dedicated my career to teaching people how to achieve maximum results in the minimum amount of time, so they can get out of the office on time (or at least earlier) and spend more time with their friends and families and hobbies. I try to practice what I preach, too.

 

There’s no way around it: in order to maximize your productivity, it’s not always enough to just work smarter (despite the management cliché claiming otherwise). You may also have to work harder…and longer.

In the modern high-pressure office environment, it’s becoming common for the real go-getters to put in half again more hours than their 9-5 co-workers; and in many cases, it’s becoming expected. The 40-hour workweek is more or less history.

If you want to have a life outside of work — or if you just want to survive that 60-hour work week — then you need to buckle down and put some realistic goals and delimiters in place.
