Tech Friend: Work Less, Yoink, Invisibility Cloak - Issue #6

By Sahil Parikh • Issue #6 • View online

Hi there,

I am the most productive when I have less time in the day to get things done as opposed to having the entire day to work. If I need to be somewhere in the afternoon, I plan my morning and knock off everything that matters in 4-5 hours - calls, emails, research, troubleshooting etc. If I have the entire day, I’ll probably take more time than required for the same task. This is called Parkinson’s law - “work expands to fill the time available for its completion.”

Next week, try putting a hard deadline for your workday and see your productivity soar. For now, have a good weekend ahead!

PS - If you listen to music while working, try the Headspace (not the same as the meditation app) playlist on Apple Music. This gets me in deep work.

Overheard on WhatsApp

“In times of change, the learners will inherit the Earth while the knowers will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

This company introduced 5-hour working days and magical things happened

Work smart, not long. World over, businesses are revisiting the 9-5, which was created in the Industrial Age! Knowledge workers don’t need to clock-in, clock-out.

Yoink for Mac and iPad

Yoink simplifies and improves drag and drop between windows, apps, spaces and fullscreen apps, by providing a temporary “shelf” for your files and app-content. I had interviewed the creator on my blog in May. Super useful app if you deal with a lot of files.
