Power Hour
The Power Hour is a short period of time, typically 60 minutes, during which a person focuses intensely on a specific task or goal. Instead of spreading your most important tasks throughout the day, you concentrate them into a single, focused hour when your energy and cognitive abilities are at their highest.
Power Hour is a time window dedicated to focused, uninterrupted work on a specific task. The idea behind a Power Hour is to boost productivity and get better outcomes by focusing intensively on a single job or objective for a set period of time.
By avoiding multitasking during a Power Hour session, you can increase productivity by 40%.
Scheduling Power Hours with others can supercharge your focus and productivity, adding another layer of motivation that can easily double your productivity.
Concentrated focus leads to higher quality work compared to scattered attention throughout the day.
Completing significant work in one hour creates positive momentum for the rest of the day.
Determine when during the day your energy and focus are naturally highest. This could be early morning, mid-morning, or afternoon depending on your chronotype.
Pick one task you want to get done or a group of closely related tasks. Choose work that requires deep thinking or concentrated effort.
Use a timer for exactly 60 minutes to create clear boundaries and urgency.
Dedicate complete attention to your chosen task. Resist the urge to check email, messages, or switch tasks.
After your Power Hour, take a proper break to recharge before resuming other work.
Communicate your Power Hour to colleagues and family. Use visual signals like headphones or closed doors.
Break large projects into Power Hour-sized chunks. Focus on making meaningful progress, not completing everything.
Remember that one focused hour can accomplish what might take 3-4 hours of distracted work.
