Naval Ravikanth on Work Hacks he has devised

Found these thoughts by Naval Ravikanth (@naval) very interesting.

  • No meetings before 11am. 
  • No meetings when emails or calls will do. 
  • Don’t schedule calls, text coordinate them on the fly when possible. 
  • Cram all meetings into two days a week. 
  • 1-on-1s are usually 30-minute walking meetings. (Meetings are the death of productivity)
  • Delete emails w/o responding or flinching. 
  • Don’t set up voicemail. 
  • Don’t travel purely for business. 
  • Don’t go to conferences unless speaking. 
  • Eat dinner with friends or family. 
  • Use blocks of open time to create, make good decisions, & focus on important over urgent.
