Let’s face it, constant context switching is killing your productivity. This problem has only increased as of late with so much remote work and of course the endless video meetings. So.many.video.meetings. This is why I really like what the HOLD team has built here. I’ve been testing their new Chrome extension this week and it has been a huge help keeping me focused on the most important tasks of the day. I’m curious how the PH community has been staying productive during these challenging times? Let me know in the comments or, if you give HOLD X a try I’m sure the makers would appreciate your feedback as well.

Great to hear @hnders_holm. Out of curiosity, How are you structuring your tasks? An infinite list or some few prioritised ones?

Report

Absolutely @maths_mathisen ! I would normally add 'some few prioritised tasks'. Which in my case would be the main tasks I have planned for the day. If I have been more productive than planned one day (which often has happened while testing Hold X), I would add the second most important tasks :)

@hnders_holm Thanks for sharing. I think the most important is to find time to both plan and review your day. Seems like you have it all figured it out - or maybe we can thank HOLD X for that ;)

@maths_mathisen I totally agree! Thanks for sharing your inputs as well. We should fo sure thank Hold X for that! Could I ask though, if you have developed any best practices of use yet? Or how would you recommend to get the most out of Hold X?

@hnders_holm Sure thing. The idea behind HOLD X is to get industry experts and productivity coaches to help us put the best and personalised practises to each user. We're still far away from being able to automate this, but we're getting there. With that in mind, we've gotten involved into several different schools of productivity. Personally, I'm combining the Ivy Lee, Eat The Frog and Pomodoro strategies when planning and acting on the day. With Ivy Lee you can add anything between 3-5 priorities per day. With Eat The frog you start with the hardest task per day and work you way through one at a time, while I work on 50 minutes + 10 minutes break cycles. With that I also time box my day and can easily review my progress at the end of the day and can plan the next day.

@maths_mathisen such a great idea to use the same technology that normally distracts people, to actually help them focus. Really like this.

@nicholas_oliver Thats very much true. We believe that we can align the technology with humans best interest. Instead of profiting on your attention we want to help you control it and have time to achieve your goals. Would love to hear your thoughts on how this best can be done, based on your current role.

I've been testing Hold X for a while and its a really easy way to "park" incoming tasks and to keep focus on the ongoing task. Love the timeboxing-concept and their timer-tool helps me with my "powersessions". Try it out!
