15-Minute Productivity Technique

Many productivity experts recommend working in 15-minute increments for optimal focus and efficiency. This time frame is often called the "sweet spot" for productivity because:

  • It's long enough to make meaningful progress on tasks
  • It's short enough to maintain high focus throughout
  • It creates a sense of urgency that boosts efficiency
  • It makes large projects feel more manageable when broken into 15-minute chunks
  • It fits easily into busy schedules, even on hectic days
