The Rule of 4 = 4 hours a day of serious mental focus.
Your brain can only handle 3 to 4 hours a day of serious mental focus.
Whether you are Jeff Bezos, Charlies Darwin, or you at your best, everyone gets 4 hours a day of focused brain power.
You can work through mindless administrative work or manual labor for longer but concentrated intellectual effort is maxed out at 4 hours.
It’s biological. No need to guilt trip or let your inner mean girl send you negative vibes.
Pick your golden 4 hours and time block it. Protect those 4 hours.
You will get more done with less aggravation. And then you can get the more mindless tasks done outside your brain’s power hours.
It’s good time management.
It relieves guilt and stress.
Remember, it’s biological. It’s natural law.
