  • Hey there, amazing listener! I'm Hazel, and welcome to another transformative episode of Productivity Mastery: Hacks from the Experts.

    Today, I want to talk directly to you about something I know you're wrestling with right now in this complex, fast-moving world of 2025. That feeling of being constantly overwhelmed, like you're juggling a dozen spinning plates while trying to walk a tightrope. Sound familiar?

    I see you. And I know exactly how that constant pressure can make productivity feel like an impossible mountain to climb.

    Let me share a game-changing hack I've discovered that's transformed how high performers approach their workday: The 90-20 Method. Imagine your brain like a powerful engine that needs strategic rest to perform at its peak. This method isn't about working harder it's about working smarter.

    Here's how it works: You focus intensely for 90 minutes on one critical task. Complete immersion. No distractions. Then you reward your brain with a purposeful 20-minute reset. Not scrolling social media not diving into email but a deliberate recovery period. Maybe a short walk, some stretching, or a mindful breathing exercise.

    Think of it like interval training for your productivity muscles. You're building mental stamina and giving your cognitive systems the refresh they crave.

    But wait there are three additional micro-strategies to supercharge this approach:

    First practice single-tasking. Multitasking is a myth that crushes your actual productivity. Choose one thing and give it your full, laser-focused attention.

    Second create what I call a "distraction parking lot" Keep a small notepad nearby. When random thoughts or to-dos pop up during your 90-minute deep work simply jot them down and immediately return to your primary task.

    Third understand your personal energy rhythms. Not everyone is a morning person or an evening dynamo. Track when you feel most alert and schedule your most complex work during those peak hours.

    As we wrap up today, I want you to take one tiny action. Right now. Grab your calendar and block out your first 90-minute deep work session. Make it non-negotiable.

    Remember productivity isn't about perfection. It's about progressive, intentional improvement. You've got this.

    Until next time, this is Hazel wishing you focused, fulfilling, and fantastically productive days ahead.
