Instead of working super hard, maybe it's time to work smarter. Startup Workout's Kevin Fleming suggests using concentrated ‘power hours’ where you unitask on that one project.

Completely commit yourself to work on something for one hour. At the end of that hour, decide if you want to keep working, and if so, fully commit for another hour.

By doing this, you are forcing yourself to remain focused.

Once that hour is up, you can do whatever you want but during that hour you need to give 100% of your available energy to the task at hand.

Applying the power hour technique to your best hours would most likely boost your productivity. Try it!
