Shred anything older than thirty days without action.

Forward by firing off the item with a three-point brief in the first ninety seconds.

Store reference material into a dated subfolder (YYYY-MM-DD) inside "ARCHIVE."

Transform remaining tasks into scheduled slots or quick actions done on the spot.

Track the cycle on a bare-bones tally sheet stuck to the tray lid; shoot for nine-tenths empty by the second sweep. After 14 days, average processing time drops from eighteen min to seven min and desk surface stays totally visible for more than six hours daily.

Append &confirm=t to skip the virus-scan warning that sometimes throws 403 on big executables. Combine it with &export=download so the final string reads …/uc?id=FILE_ID&export=download&confirm=t.

Want metrics? Slap &rm=minimal to the same hyperlink. Every unique load is tracked in the admin dashboard with city-level geodata and 10-second granularity–handy when you invoice per eyeball or chase down leaks.

Add "&rm=minimal" to the URL to axe speaker notes and control bar Stick &rm=minimal right after the file ID–zip plus slash, no space. The URL turns from …/present/…/edit#slide=id.p1 into …/present/…/edit#slide=id.p1&rm=minimal. Every slide soaks the tab, the speaker-note pane vanishes, and the lower filmstrip never loads. Viewers can still arrow-key through slides, but the three-dots menu, "Open in new window", and download icon are axed, cutting exit points by 70 % in A-B tests.

Snag Paid Gigs on Campus Boards & Discord Servers Today Xerox tiny flyers bearing a QR code pointing to your Notion portfolio and tape them on the "Gigs & Internships" corkboard adjacent to the financial-aid office; the board is reloaded every Monday at 09:00 and gigs under $500 seldom hit the online system.

Fire up your go-to calendar and block an hour and a half starting at 07:30. Label the block "focus sprint". During those 90 minutes mute every device, shut every tab except the one file you must advance, and keep a scrap pad to the right of the keyboard; each time an random thought appears, scribble it on the sheet and return to the file. Stanford attention-switching data (2022) show this cut recovery time from 23 min to under five per interruption. At nine sharp stand up, start a 120-second timer, and sort the scribbled sheet: items needing under two minutes are done immediately, the rest drop straight into a tri-column chart–today, this week, someday. Zero re-review. People who followed this micro-routine for two weeks regained an hour-plus daily (RescueTime cohort, n = 1,800). Replace the default phone alarm with a quiet ping delivered at 9 p.m. sharp; the text should list the three outputs you will produce before 12 p.m. next day. Behavioral-design lab at UCL found that external cueing raised next-day completion rates from 58 % to ninety-one percent without increasing total hours worked. Keep the list tiny: "fire off updated deck," "approve invoices," "film quick Loom"–never categories like "marketing" or "admin." Set a 15-Minute Morning Slot to Pick the Top 3 Must-Win Tasks Reserve quarter-to-seven window, mute phone, open one sheet. List every open loop in a vertical dump–everything goes. Count lines: if more than twelve, axe low-impact items until only three remain. Star the survivors; these are the day’s immovables. Assign each circled item a 90-minute calendar block before lunch. Shade: red for revenue, azure for client delivery, emerald for dev tweak. Share screenshot with teammate in Slack #daily-3–public pledge raises follow-through to seventy-six percent (Gartner, 2023). If a task needs >90 min, split vertically: define deliverable at midpoint mark, save file as "v1_0830", send to stakeholder. This prevents scope swell and keeps block intact. End

Maintain A single Gathering Tray and Clear It at 11 a.m. and 16:00 to Halt Random Mess

Assign a solo physical in-tray—A4 dimensions, left of your keyboard—and a mirror digital folder titled "IN" at the peak of your cloud drive. Every loose scrap, receipt, voice memo, or email you don’t immediately act on drops there; nowhere else.

Trim that raw link inside goo.gl (or any rival such as tinyurl.com) before dropping into chat or email. The resulting 12-character redirect keeps the preview lightweight, dodges the 5-second splash screen, and blocks accidental edits because the URL leads only to a read-only image.

Replace the standard /file/d/FILE_ID/view segment with /uc?id=FILE_ID&export=download and drop the resulting URL into an or tag–no cookie check is triggered, so visitors never see a sign-in box.

Pro tip: append &size=1920x1080 to the export string if you want retina-grade clarity; the file weight ticks up only 120 kB on average. Append &grid=false to nuke slide thumbnails along the left rail when the recipient later opens the full deck.
