4-Quarter Day Productivity Method

Do you find yourself feeling unproductive throughout the day? Don't worry, everyone feels the same.

Try to split your day into 4 Quarters:

  • Q1: 00:00 - 06:00
  • Q2: 06:00 - 12:00
  • Q3: 12:00 - 18:00
  • Q4: 18:00 - 00:00

If you mess up one quarter, you still have the others to cover up.

Warning: Try not to ruin your Q2, it's the quarter that determines the course of your day.

This approach removes the pressure of having a "perfect day" and instead focuses on manageable time blocks. Even if your morning starts poorly, you have three more opportunities to make the day productive.

The key insight is that Q2 (6 AM - 12 PM) is your power quarter—protect it at all costs. This is when most people have peak energy and focus, making it crucial for setting a positive momentum that carries through the rest of the day.
