I just got back from the gym, doing the “Firefighter Training Test” on the treadmill… Each minute the speed and incline increases, and it gets really rough at the end.
Towards the last couple of minutes I start frantically clicking my iPod Shuffle looking for a high-energy song to run to. For some reason, the song that helps me run the best (because it matches my stride) is David Bowie’s “Young American”.
At this point you’re probably saying to yourself, “Gee that fascinating, Tim, what did you have for lunch, I’m all ears?” 
Bear with me…
Being able to get the most out of yourself is critical. If a David Bowie song helps you exercise better, you better be playing it.
If you work better late at night, don’t try to work in the morning just because it’s expected of you. Find the schedule that works for you.
We can all get overwhelmed with a mountain of work to do. Break it down into bite-sized chunks, and set time limits for each task. Work only 45-50 minutes, then take a 10-15 minute break. Use a timer to regiment your schedule.
Having finite, short intervals to tackle certain jobs can help you be shockingly more productive than just trying to work for a long time on a big project. Try it – I guarantee you’ll be surprised at the results.
If you work better with music playing, play it. If you work better naked, don’t work from your laptop and Starbucks. (heh)
Only you know how to get the best out of you. It’s your job to figure it out.
