Ryan Dohrn argues that setting strict time limits on every task, from proposals to podcasts, boosts focus and performance. He cites a statistic showing 150% productivity increase when using timers, and recommends using your phone's timer to create pressure that gets work done faster.
Hey friends, Ryan Dohrn here, your sales coach. And now more than ever before, we need structure. It's very easy to get distracted by kids, laundry, walking the dog, doorbell ringing, talking to a neighbor across the fence, or whatever the circumstances. I mean, stay 6 feet away, but talk to your neighbors, right? So we've really got to stay focused. One of the things that I'm doing is I'm setting time limits for everything that I'm doing. I'm working on a podcast right now, set a time limit for it. Working on a proposal, set a time limit for it. Set a time limit for everything. If my lovely wife of 25 years says, honey, I need your help with blank. I set a time limit for it. Okay, that's a little dangerous, by the way. Be careful about that. But anyway, you get my point— setting time limits for everything. So I grab my phone out of my pocket, I say, okay, I need 30 minutes for this. I put 30 minutes on the clock and boom, I set it, sit there, and I watch it because I respond well under pressure. Most people do.
