Don Crowther in his presentation at the NSA Summer Symposium, told the audience that 48 minutes is the magic number. Here’s how it works… Set a timer for 48 minutes. Close out all distractions and work continuously for 48 minutes. When the timer goes off, get up and stretch, get coffee, use the restroom etc, in the following 12 minutes. Repeat as necessary.
Don reports that this technique repeated four times a day allowed him to write a 200 page book in just two weeks. The ability to focus on one task for 48 minutes straight was the key.
Using this simple technique you may help streamline your daily activities and complete projects big or small that you have started.
What I have realised is that any technique this or any other can be successful only if you used it with discipline . So go ahead and try this method for a month and note your progress.
