Our chronotype determines whether we’re early birds or night owls. Our chronotype is how our body reacts to the time of day. There are typically three chronotypes: morning, day, and night.<ul><li>Morning people are the early birds. They are awake, operate at peak efficiency in the morning, but usually can’t stay up for the late news.</li><li>Day people sleep a little later and are most effective in the afternoon.</li><li>Night owls sleep as late as possible and are up well past nightfall, into the wee hours of the morning.</li></ul>

Night Owls vs. Early Birds

Pros: <ol><li>More productive, especially at night.</li><li>Overall, night owls tend to be wealthier. </li><li>Intelligence: A study by the LSE found that night owls were more intelligent than early risers, scoring higher on IQ tests.</li><li>More creative than early birds. </li></ol>Cons: <ol><li>Sleep deprivation</li><li>Health issues: More prone to health issues, such as diabetes, neurological and psychological disorders, and obesity.</li><li>Depression: On average, night owls are more prone to depression than early risers, along with other mood disorders, due to social jetlag.</li></ol>

Pros And Cons Of Being A Night Owls

Pros:<ol><li>Intelligence</li><li>Positive personality</li><li>Healthier</li><li>Life balance</li></ol>Cons:<ol><li>Energy crash: Whereas night owls get a second burst of energy in the later hours of the day, early birds tend to lose productivity and energy as the day goes on without getting a natural energy boost to keep them going. </li><li>Tend to have higher levels of stress hormones, which can result in health issues like migraines, anxiety, and depression.</li><li>Less socialization: Because early birds are wired to begin feeling tired earlier during the night, they may have a more difficult time in their social sphere. </li></ol>

Pros and Cons of Being an Early Bird

At the end of the day, it matters most that we get the right amount of sleep to maintain good health. Below is the tips on how to change our sleep pattern:<ol><li>Gradually change our bedtime</li><li>Let lighting help we realign our body’s clock</li><li>Develop a soothing night time routine</li><li>Track the positive impacts</li><li>Reward ourselves for reaching incremental targets</li><li>Keep an eye on our larger, more aspirational goals</li><li>Don’t let eating habits undermine our progress</li><li>Incorporate exercise into our day</li><li>Give it time</li><li>Enlist the experts</li></ol>

Toxic productivity is the outsized desire for productivity at all times and at the expense of our other priorities, from family life to hobbies.If we’re constantly working while rarely engaging in hobbies, which allow us the opportunity to destress, we can see how easily it is to eventually stop doing everything all together.<ul><li>Toxic productivity inevitably also leads us to feeling burnt out. By working ourselves to the point of exhaustion we eventually lose our will to do simple everyday things like texting someone back or cooking a meal. </li></ul>

Toxic Productivity

<ol><li>Inability to turn off: We feel unable to shut off work-related tasks to rest, enjoy hobbies, or spend time with friends and family.</li><li>Guilt about productivity: We feel guilty about not getting enough work done, even when we are completing a reasonable amount of work-related tasks. </li><li>Problems with health or personal relationships: We begin to experience issues with our health or personal relationships due to the above issues. Significant others may feel they are getting less of our time or attention than work. </li></ol>

Sign If We're Suffering From Toxic Productivity

<ol><li>Set realistic goals, adjust as needed</li><li>REST is not for the week, take breaks</li><li>Get some accountability</li><li>Define clearer work-life boundaries</li><li>Meditate to clear our head</li></ol>

How Much Is Too Much: The Dangers of Toxic Productivity

Returning to in-person work can feel a bit awkward after working remotely for the last year and a half. While some may be eager to share experiences with coworkers, others may not be ready to talk about the emotional experiences they've been through. Personal interaction with other people may require more energy than expected and could feel like a drain. To reboot our in-person working relationships, we need to go back to the basics of human connection.

Adjusting to in-person working relationships

One of the most fundamental social skills is attunement - the ability to be aware of your own feelings while connecting with another individual and managing conflict. Attunement consists of four components that can help you stay in sync with others, especially in difficult conversations.<ol><li>Prepare your nervous system.</li><li>Listen to the other person and yourself.</li><li>Practice empathy</li><li>Keep expressing interest.</li></ol>

Attunement: In tune and in sync

You can cultivate a relaxed awareness, calm your nervous system and feel more grounded. <ul><li>Just before your next meeting, pause, tilt your chin down and feel as if your head is gently suspended from above.</li><li>Relax your shoulders</li><li>Feel your belly expand with your in-breath</li><li>Relax with your out-breath.</li><li>Tune in to your environment.</li></ul> Try to practice these steps daily on your own to help you in the heat of the moment at work.

Prepare your nervous system

Notice the other person's cues. Consider what they're saying and expressing as very valuable to you. As you listen, check in with yourself from time to time and notice your own feelings. If you feel tense, go to the first step - let your shoulders drop and relax as you take a mindful breath. Then focus on the other person.

Pay attention to the other person (and yourself)

We seldom have the same experiences or views as another person and should be tolerant of their perspectives. Cultivating self- and other-focused compassion can help in navigating conflict. Consider the obstacles that may prevent you from understanding the other person, such as assumptions you may be making, what you need from them, or your own reactivity.

Practice empathy

Communication is often more effective when we meet the other person where they are mentally and emotionally.  Allow the other person to start with what's on their mind. By being open and interested, you foster a greater connection. In turn, they may be more open and responsive to you.

Express interest

The return to in-person work can be overwhelming. These four strategies can help.

Getting Back to the Basics of Human Connection

<ul><li>Your DNA dictates what you were born to do. Follow your passion, don’t listen to what society has to say about success.</li><li>There is enough success out there and if you want it badly enough, you will get it.</li><li>When building your personal brand, focus on the quality of the relationships with your followers and not on their numbers.</li><li>Be authentic and produce quality content.</li></ul>

Success Is In Your DNA

“There is no excuse for anyone living in the United States or anywhere else right now to slog through his or her entire life working at jobs they hate, or even jobs they simply don’t love, in the name of a paycheck or a sense of responsibility.”

Gary Vaynerchuk

“Quality is a tremendous filter. Cream always rises, my friends, no matter how many cups of coffee you pour.”

<ul>
<li>Plan to develop and grow your own brand and business alongside your current job. This is how you will open opportunities in the digital economy.</li>
<li>As long as you are working for someone else, you will never be living entirely true to yourself and your passion.</li>
<li>To monetize your personal brand, you need two pillars: product, and content. Great content is what will attract people to your blog.</li>
</ul>

A Whole New World

Someone with less talent and poor content can beat you if they work harder than you. Before you invest in yourself, you have to invest in your long-term future.When building your personal brand, focus on creating communities by starting conversations. Once you have created your online brand, do some online advertising. You can also engage in affiliate marketing.

Keep It Real

<ol><li>Identify your passion</li><li>Make sure you can think of at least fifty awesome topics and posts.</li><li>Answer the following questions: Am I sure my passion is what I think it is? Can I talk about it better than anyone else?</li><li>Name your personal brand.</li><li>Buy your user name.</li><li>Choose your medium: video, audio, written word</li><li>Start a Website.</li><li>Hire a designer</li><li>Select all of the platforms to which you want to distribute your content.</li><li>Post your content.</li></ol>

Your Personal Brand: Starting Your Thing

<ol><li>Start creating community by leaving comments on other people’s blogs and forums.</li><li>Find more blogs that are relevant to your subject on Google</li><li>Join as many active fan pages and groups relating to your blog topic as possible.</li><li>Repeat steps 11 through 15.</li><li>When you feel your personal brand has gained sufficient attention and stickiness, start reaching out to advertisers and begin monetizing</li></ol>

Forget about the 12 month year and instead focus on the 12 Week Year. Why? Because you can get more done in 12 weeks than in 12 months with the right mindset, goals, and strategy.
<ul>
<li>To execute successfully, it is important to have a strong emotional connection to the outcome.</li>
<li>Without a compelling reason to choose otherwise, most people will take comfortable actions over uncomfortable ones.</li>
</ul>

Rethinking Time: Boost Your Performance In The Short Term

<ul><li>The important actions are usually uncomfortable ones. And the secret to living up to your potential is to value the important stuff.</li><li>Vision is the starting point of all high performance.</li><li>Barriers to physical performance exist in the mind.</li></ul>You must be clear on what it is you want to create. Most people focus primarily on their business or career, but business is just part of life, and it is actually your life vision that gives traction and relevance to your business

Creating Your Personal Vision

To tap into the incredible power of a personal vision, you need a future that is bigger than the present. Your business vision needs to be anchored on your personal vision.When things get hard the connection between your personal and business vision will help you to focus. When you think about a compelling vision, the neurons that fire in your brain are the same neurons that fire when you act on your vision. What that means is that you can literally train your brain to act on your vision just by thinking about it.

Envisioning Your New Future

Having an annual plan has the following benefits:<ul><li>It reduces mistakes</li><li>It saves time</li><li>It provides focus</li></ul>Having a 12-week plan has three additional and distinct differences from annual planning:<ol><li>Is more predictable than 12-month planning. The further you set your plan in the future, the less predictable it becomes</li><li>More focused. Annual plans have too many objectives and this can cause failure in execution</li><li>More structured. Most plans are never implemented because they don’t have a good structure</li></ol>

A 12-Week Plan

The physical universe will not respond to your desires, no matter how passionate or intense they are. The one thing that moves the universe is action. An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

<ul><li>The actions that we take create our long-term results. While we plan for the future, we act on the day.</li><li>If you want to be truly effective, your daily activities must align with your long term vision, strategies, and tactics.</li><li>A weekly plan will translate your 12-week plan into daily and weekly action. Your weekly plan should cover your strategies and priorities.</li><li>Your long term and short term tasks and your commitments in the context of time.</li></ul>

One Week At A Time

<ul><li>Scorekeeping will provide you with a knowledge base that will guide decisions and lead to better performance and success.</li><li>Scorekeeping will let you know whether what you are doing is effective.</li><li>Measurement builds self-esteem and confidence because it documents progress and achievement.</li><li>The data simply focuses on achievements. It is not concerned with effort or intentions.</li></ul>

Measuring The Effort: Scorekeeping

In God we trust; all others must bring data.

Your supply of time is completely inelastic and perishable.When you are not purposeful about how you spend your time, you leave results to chance. Block out regular time each week to deal with strategically important tasks. Examples of performance time:<ol><li>Strategic blocks. A three-hour block of uninterrupted time that is scheduled into each week</li><li>Buffer blocks. Time set aside to deal with all the unplanned and low-value activities like email and voicemail</li><li>Break out blocks. Time for resting and reflection</li></ol>

Working With Intentionality

Accountability is accepting that you have a choice. That everything that you do in life is a choice. It is small thinking to see accountability as a have to rather than a choice.With such a mentality you will only produce a minimum of results. When you understand that true accountability is about choice and taking ownership of your choices, everything changes. You move from resistance to empowerment, from limits to possibilities, and from mediocrity to greatness.

Accountability And Ownership

Commitments improve relationships, strengthen integrity, and build self-esteem. Commitment is a state of being bound emotionally and intellectually to a course of action.The ability to keep commitments is fundamental to effective execution. The difference between interest and commitment is that we only do the things we are interested in when we feel like it. But with commitment, we make no excuses.

Interest Vs Commitment

<ol><li>Strong desire. A clear and personally compelling reason will make you do things</li><li>Keystone actions. A few core activities account for a majority of your results</li><li>Count the costs. Counting the costs means being ready to commit time, resources, and so on</li><li>Act on commitments, not feelings. If you learn to do the things that you need to do despite your feelings, you will surely be successful</li></ol>

Keys To A Successful Commitment

To achieve life balance, you need to be purposeful in how you spend your time, energy, and effort.<ul><li>When our attention is spread over various subjects and conversations, we apply very little of ourselves to any individual activity. This can result in feelings of being burned out, exhausted, frustrated, and disconnected.</li><li>To make the most of your time, be present in the moment. Your thinking will be clear, and decisions will come easily.</li><li>You can neither change the past nor act in the future. All you have is the eternal, right now.</li></ul>

Be Here Now

The eight elements that are fundamental to high performance are:<ol><li>Vision</li><li>Planning</li><li>Process control</li><li>Measurement</li><li>Time use</li><li>Accountability</li><li>Commitment</li><li>Greatness in the moment</li></ol>Applying the 12 Week Year will be uncomfortable because change is uncomfortable.

The Execution System

<ol><li>Uninformed optimism. This is the first stage and the most exciting as we imagine all the benefits that we are going to get from the change.</li><li>Informed pessimism. This stage is characterized by a shift into negative emotions.</li><li>The valley of despair. Most people give up at this stage. They abandon the reason they wanted to change in the first place</li><li>Informed optimism. The likelihood of success at this stage is higher. The benefits of your actions start to bear fruit</li><li>Success and fulfilment. This is the stage where you complete the cycle and enjoy the full benefits of the change process.</li></ol>

Changing Behaviour: The Five Stages

When creating your vision, focus on three-time horizons:<ol><li>Long-term aspirations.</li><li>Mid-term goals about three years to the future.</li><li>12 weeks.</li></ol>Pitfalls when creating a vision:<ul><li>You don’t take the power of vision seriously.</li><li>The vision isn’t meaningful to you.</li><li>Your vision is too small.</li><li>You don’t connect your vision to your daily actions.</li></ul>

When you allow autonomy and require responsibility, you encourage motivation and self-guided learning in your students — and you fuel academic achievement and a sense of excitement.

Long Story Short

Providing students with choices leads to increased in autonomy and, in turn, motivation and learning.  Students, like adults, tend to be more motivated to complete a task — and perform better on it — when they choose to engage in the task themselves, rather than having the task chosen for them.

Does offering students a choice in assignments lead to greater engagement?

Allowing students autonomy — the ability to choose how to express their knowledge to their teacher — is an essential gateway to engagement; when students feel empowered, they become more excited to learn.

How do we allow for inquiry while still ensuring learning (the proficiency of standards)?

<ul><li>Technology can effectively increase engagement with the kind of tasks traditionally found on worksheets: giving feedback and tracking student performance.</li><li>Digital technology can use past performance and the performance of similar students to dynamically determine what item, tasks, or bit of instruction should come next.</li></ul>

Do digital learning materials improve student achievement or motivation?

When it comes to building extraordinary workplaces and high-performing teams, researchers have long appreciated that three psychological needs are essential: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2008-11667-026">Decades of research </a> demonstrate that when people feel psychologically fulfilled, they tend to be <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1359105314543962">healthier </a>, <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Veronika-Huta/publication/23545617_Living_well_A_self-determination_theory_perspective_on_eudaimonia/links/546ce1330cf26e95bc3ca838/Living-well-A-self-determination-theory-perspective-on-eudaimonia.pdf">happier </a>, and <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2014-24108-002">more productive </a>.

Of those three essential needs, relatedness, or the desire to feel connected to others, has always been the trickiest for organizations to cultivate. It’s one thing to attract talented employees — but how exactly do you get them to like each other?Covid has made fostering relatedness all the more difficult. While working from home has been a <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-328X/10/12/192">boon for autonomy </a>, empowering many to decide when and where they work, a lack of physical proximity to colleagues has made it exponentially more challenging to create close personal bonds.

Yet new research suggests that the highest-performing teams have found subtle ways of leveraging social connections during the pandemic to fuel their success. The findings offer important clues on ways any organization can foster greater connectedness — even within a remote or hybrid work setting — to engineer higher-performing teams.

So, what do high-performing teams do differently? Our study revealed five key differences, all of which highlight the vital role of close connection among colleagues as a driver of team performance.<ol><li>High-Performing Teams Are Not Afraid to Pick Up the Phone</li><li>High-Performing Teams Are More Strategic With Their Meetings</li><li>High-Performing Teams Invest Time Bonding Over Non-Work Topics</li><li>High-Performing Teams Give and Receive Appreciation More Frequently</li><li>High-Performing Teams Are More Authentic at Work</li></ol>

<a href="https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fxge0000962">Recent studies </a> have found that while most people anticipate that phone calls will be awkward and uncomfortable, that’s a misperception. Not only are phone calls no more awkward in practice, they also tend to strengthen relationships and prevent misunderstanding, contributing to more fruitful interactions among teammates.

The findings indicate that high-performing teams avoid the common pitfalls of poorly run meetings by incorporating practices shown to foster more productive gatherings.By ensuring that time together is both efficient and collaborative, high-performing teams don’t just make better use of their meetings — they also set the stage for more fruitful interactions, contributing to better relationships.

From a managerial standpoint, it’s easy to frown upon workplace conversations that have nothing to do with work. After all, what good can come from employees spending valuable work time chatting about a major sporting event or blockbuster film? However, <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2001-17491-001">research suggests </a> that discussing non-work topics offers major advantages. That’s because it’s in personal conversations that we identify shared interests, which fosters <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-51514-001">deeper liking and authentic connections </a>.

A key reason the need for relatedness contributes to better performance at work is that it makes us feel valued, appreciated, and respected by those whose opinions we prize. It’s why recognition is often <a href="https://selfdeterminationtheory.org/SDT/documents/2005_GagneDeci_JOB_SDTtheory.pdf">a more powerful motivating force </a> than monetary incentives.

Within the study, members of high-performing teams were significantly more likely to express positive emotions with their colleagues. They reported being more likely to compliment, joke with, and tease their teammates. In emails, they were more likely to use exclamation points, emojis, and GIFs.Interestingly, however, they were also more likely to express negative emotions at work. The study found that they were more likely to curse, complain, and express sarcasm with their teammates.

Why would expressing negative emotions at work yield more positive performance? It’s because the alternative to expressing negative emotions is suppressing them, and suppression is cognitively expensive . It involves expending valuable cognitive resources attempting to hide emotions from others, leaving less mental firepower for doing the work.

In sum, the study’s findings suggest that creating a high-performing workplace takes more than simply hiring the right people and arming them with the right tools to do their work. It requires creating opportunities for genuine, authentic relationships to develop.Fostering close connections among teammates need not be expensive or time-consuming. By incorporating simple, evidence-based practices that yield better communication, more productive meetings, and deeper friendships, every workplace has the ability to fuel people’s basic psychological need for relatedness and lift team performance.

5 Things High-Performing Teams Do Differently

We live in a culture that prizes keeping one’s options open. It’s better to be maximally flexible, the popular reasoning goes so that we can respond to any opportunity at a moment’s notice. Committing to anything, even for just a few months, locks away other possibilities, and is thus undesirable.
But even if you want a more varied life, you still need to commit to projects for bursts of time to make progress. The person who commits to three-month projects may not achieve mastery. Still, they will get further than the person who merely thinks about doing those projects.

The Mindset of Open Options

It’s more fun to think about being good at something than to actually do the work to get good. Thus we daydream, rather than take action.
The problem is that daydreaming alone doesn’t lead anywhere. None of the projects we imagine but never work on are ever realized. This can deflate even our daydreaming, as part of us knows, deep down, we’re never really going to do it. The solution is to pick a project and see it through.

Tying Yourself to Reality

A side-effect of committing to one project is that you end up putting off all the rest. By the time you finally start a project, you’ve been thinking about it for a while.
This extra incubation time has two virtues:
<ul>
<li>It filters out bad ideas. Since you only pursue the ideas that have stuck with you during your commitment to other projects, you end up pursuing projects you care about deeply.</li>
<li>Extra time results in better plans. As you ponder a potential project, you turn over the possible difficulties in your mind.</li>
</ul>

Give Ideas Time to Incubate

Short commitments tend to lead to greater accomplishment than long ones. 
It’s not the intention to commit that matters, but whether you follow through with it. 
A multi-year effort has a much higher chance at being abandoned than a three-month project does. Further, a three-month project can easily lead to another three-month effort in the same direction, provided the results from the first proved promising.

Set Shorter Projects

Focus sounds limiting, but it results in more getting done. Here's how to stop day-dreaming and finally make progress.
