Not only since Daniel Kahnemann's great book "Thinking fast and Thinking slow" we know that humans are predictably irrational when it comes to decision making. In the last years, I have been working intensively on the decision-making of humans and machines, to empower people and teams to make faster, better decisions on the factual level to achieve significantly better results. I set out to regularly introduce a method that helps us hack ourselves to get better results.
Every morning I start with Eisenhower Matrix. This is a very simple well-known method that enables you to follow one mastermind of productivity, Dwight Eisenhower. I write in the matrix all tasks for the day. My emails are always in the box "Urgent but not important." I read and answer emails between 12:00 and 13:00 and after 20:00. These time windows are scheduled in my Outlook. The mornings and afternoons are reserved for substance work.
