According to Anphabe Company, to escape the "virtual busyness" trap, personnel should apply a 7-day roadmap to restructure their brains and working methods.
Day 1: Looking straight at the truth
The goal of the first day is awakening. You cannot change what you don't see.
Keep a work journal. Green marks for high value creation and white for reaction/small things.
Just look at the fact that you are spending 80% of your time on harmless things, you have surpassed 80% of others in the labor market.
Day 2: MIT strategy (Choose the most important job)
Don't start the day by opening emails. Start with choices.
Choose only 1 most important task. This is the task that if completed, other tasks will become easy or no longer necessary.
Deep work starts from simplicity. A clear goal is the guiding principle for concentration.
Day 3: Establish a 60-minute fortress
Create an "inviolable" space and time zone.
Choose a fixed time frame. No meetings, no chat, phone in airplane mode.
Sustainability is more important than excitement. Don't try to do it for 3 hours if you're not used to it. 60 minutes of absolute concentration is worth more than 8 hours of sluggish work.
Day 4: "Clean" environmental design
Willpower is finite, but the environment is eternal. Let the workspace serve you.
Clean the Desktop, close all unrelated content. Keep the phone out of reach (physical).
Deep work is not just about will, it is a game about environmental design.
Day 5: Concentrated "muscle" training
The ability to withstand discomfort when facing difficulties is the measure of the expert's ability.
When the craving to check your phone rushes in, tell yourself: "Stay for another 10 minutes".
Overcoming this "critical point", you will enter a flow state - where productivity increases many times over.
Day 6: Measuring by value, not by busyness
At the end of the day, do a personal audit. You ask yourself: "What did I create today that really has an impact? ".
Don't count the number of emails sent, count the progress in key projects.
Day 7: Weekly strategy design
Deep work is not improvisation, it must be a strategy.
You should fix at least 3 deep working sessions into your weekly schedule. Announce this to your group for support.
