STEP 1: MAKE A LIST

• all my current assignments
• exercise
• eat food/drink water

STEP 2: NOTICE WHAT YOU NOTICED

• drink water/eat food
• assignments
• exercise

STEP 3: SET A TIMER

1. Set a timer for your first task
   1. Decide how long you think it will take before you start
2. Start working
3. Repeat this process for 45 minutes for as many tasks as you can complete, then take a 15-minute break
   • Get up and get a drink of water
   • Get up and go for a walk
   • Every 20 minute blink your eyes 20 times while looking at least 20 feet away
     • This is good for your eyes

Start steps 1 through 3 again, repeat for your school day

OUTSIDE (PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)

• Set a timer
• Spend up to 20 minutes in this ‘room’
• Watch the first 30 seconds of this Oct. 2020 interview with David Allen

• simply thinking about your work in a new light will allow you to get work done

• it was surprisingly warm outside
