2. Nothing easier. Just set a start date and slots and
they will be visible on your calendar, on the day they
refer to. This way you can see how busy your day will
be.
1. SCHEDULE YOUR TASKS

3. Tasks automatically move onto the next day if you
can’t get to them. If a task keeps getting bumped
day after day, it’s probably a good idea to delete
it.
2. DELETE IT, DON’T RESCHEDULE IT

4. You only get small visual clues that something needs your
attention and we don’t send you a million emails per day. You
only get one daily digest and you can even turn it off.
3. AVOID DISTRACTIONS

5. Starting a task and broadcasting to everyone
else that you’re working on it is an incredible
focus booster. Just don’t do anything else until
you’re done.
4. NEVER EVER ANSWER THE PHONE

6. With overwork alerts in the calendar, managers can make sure
that their team doesn’t have to much on their plate, keeping
their work-life and health balance in check.
5. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR HEALTH

7. Just start typing and hit enter and you can enter
dozens of tasks at once. You can even set initial
destinations and all the tasks thereafter will follow it.
6. HAVE A MORNING BRAIN PURGE

8. Starting and checking off tasks is a great work
routine. As your tasks for the day keep being
checked off, your sense of accomplishment
increases.
7. CREATE A SUSTAINABLE ROUTINE

9. Just set a deadline for a task or project or create
an event on the set date. It’s all there to keeping
you from derailing.
8. ALWAYS SET DEADLINES

10. We’re all overwhelmed from too much email.
9. PICK A SPECIFIC TIME OF THE DAY TO CHECK EMAIL

11. Don’t worry, if something urgent pops in, we alert
you through the browser tab with a flashy red
icon.
10. TURN OFF EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

12. Doing all calls and all emails for the day in one
batch is a great way to keep focused and you can
create these as a recurring appointment every week
day.
11. BATCH YOUR TASKS

13. You can assign all the things you need your team to do
every day with ease on your calendar. Just keep a few slots
open for any new stuff coming in.
12. CREATE A WEEKLY STRATEGY DOCUMENT

14. Or just clear your task list for the day. You’ll get
the same sense of accomplishment.
13. GET TO INBOX ZERO EVERY DAY

15. You just need to start by the most important task in
your task list for the day. Every other one will be a
nice bonus.
14. DO THE ONE THING THAT WOULD MAKE
YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR DAY

16. Someone needs to put out that fire that just
came in? Just assign them an urgent task to set
a priority.
15. PRIORITISE

17. HiveFlux was built
around the
Pomodoro
Technique. We just
called them slots.
They’re 30 minutes
long and perfect to
set your tasks in and
stay focused.
16. USE THE POMODORO
TECHNIQUE

18. Need to keep something in the backburner? Just label
them as a public task with no date and somewhere in
the future someone eventually will get to it.
17. RUN EVERY TASK THROUGH AN IMPACT
VS. EFFORT ANALYSIS

19. We know it’s not easy, but with some social pressure
from broadcasting what you’re doing to everyone else,
it’s a little bit easier.
18. NEVER, EVER PROCRASTINATE

20. HiveFlux is not only a great tool, it’s also incredibly fun
to use, so you’ll feel more motivated to get going
everyday.
19. WORK EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE IT

21. No need to keep a journal. What you do everyday will be kept as a reference
in your calendar. Just browse past weeks.
20. JOURNAL DAILY, EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE THERE’S NO TIME

22. Being more productive means you finish off your work
sooner. Then you can all go out for a drink after work.
21. SET FUN ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF WORK
