Hello beautiful people! 😇
(and welcome, my +2 new friends to Ohh My Life!)
I write about my ups and downs as an entrepreneur in the future of learning and work.
After 2 weeks of hard work, I'm excited to launch my first project, Friyays! 🎉🎉🎉
Friyays is a community of DEEP WORKers who care about getting important work done (not more work done!)
We host daily 2-hour deep work sessions for you to work on the most important task - the needle mover!
But, why can't I do it on my own?
1. Distraction, Distraction, Distraction.
Often, we are distracted by all kinds of random work (shallow work!) - emails, messages, quick catch ups, etc. These left us with almost no time for the most essential work!
Friyays is designed to block 2 hours of your precious time, so you can commit to do the most essential work that will pivot your life.
I experimented myself with a 2 hour time block for important work (mostly related to this project). And, it's FREAKING AMAZING!
You'll be surprised by how much you can get done in 2 hours. Give it a try!
"A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure."
2. Not Knowing Your Prioritises.
Time blocking without having a clear prioritises is like driving without Waze (at least for me! hahaha)
First few days of my experiment, I felt I did a lot, but I don't feel any impact. The reason is that I did not prioritise. I spent the 2 hours doing tasks that are not so important; hence, another distraction.
At Friyays, we'll start the daily session with an intention setting - few minutes of quiet time to write down your tasks & share them with a small, trusted group.
So, you know exactly what you need to get done in the next 2 hours!
Feels like magic, it's Friyays!
3. Keeping Yourself Accountable Needs A Lot of Willpower.
This is actually the main reason I started Friyays.
It's takes so much willpower to keep myself accountable. And, I know a community is what I needed.
What's more fun than to celebrate conquering the big task with other deep workers?
Only at Friyays!
