So, for a week, just keep track of what you get done and how long it takes you, without changing your behavior. This will not only give you a baseline to start improving from, in accordance with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Karl_Pearson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Pearson\u2019s Law<\/a>, it will probably help you get more done straight away. Things to track include hours worked; tasks completed; and time spent planning, cleaning, or traveling.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a high-functioning person who just can\u2019t help but do something, estimate the time you think tasks will take <em>against<\/em> time they actually take.\u200c If nothing else, you\u2019ll gain some self-awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing how long things take can be a procrastination buster, all on its own. I used to hate setting up my YouTube recording lights and would put it off until last minute. Then, one day, I measured it. It took, on average, seven and a half minutes. After that, it didn\u2019t seem like such a chore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"find-your-golden-hour-and-make-it-shine\">Find Your Golden Hour and Make It Shine.<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_119239\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119239\" class=\"wp-image-119239 size-full\" title=\"How to Maximize Your Time and Productivity as a Filmmaker - Peak Productivity\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Maximize Your Time and Productivity as a Filmmaker - Peak Productivity\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=277,185 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=359,239 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=543,362 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=560,373 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Coffee-cup-1.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-119239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/woman-showing-funny-victory-sign-holding-1136000075?src=ABGLVLjwUUAkGcv91U94wg-1-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">noPPonPat<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Everyone has times of the day when they\u2019re most productive.

You set a defined period, say fifteen minutes, and dive into the task at-hand until the timer goes off. You then take a five minute break where you take a quick walk, or do something to reset yourself, then go back into work for another fifteen minutes. At the end of the day, you record how many sessions you were able to do. As your brain gets better at this discipline, you can increase the focused time.<\/p>\n<p>I love this because, even if the work doesn\u2019t turn out as well as you had hoped, you get a sense of achievement because you were able to do some focused work, training your brain away from constant distraction. You build the distraction into your work so it doesn\u2019t become a liability. I personally like to use the breaks to tidy up and clean my work space. I find that if I start another work task, it distracts from the distraction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"gtd\">GTD<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_119236\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119236\" class=\"wp-image-119236 size-full\" title=\"How to Maximize Your Time and Productivity as a Filmmaker - Focusing on Task\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg\" alt=\"How to Maximize Your Time and Productivity as a Filmmaker - Focusing on Task\" width=\"755\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=277,185 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=359,240 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=543,362 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=560,374 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/working-on-film-1.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-119236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-illustration\/digital-artwork-illustration-television-press-conference-1082559752?src=RG3vGWZWQuE9wn5hTevU3g-1-50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">CapturePB<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made improvements to how you work, it\u2019s natural to look for a better way to decide <em>what<\/em> you should be doing.<\/p>\n<p>David Allen\u2019s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/gettingthingsdone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Getting Things Done<\/a>&#8221; is a great system for organizing your tasks and outcomes (though Allen himself says it\u2019s nothing new). His main point is that the root cause of procrastination is a lack of clarity on the next task necessary to complete a goal. And, if we spend some time disengaged from our work to look at the big picture, we can work backwards from our desired outcome toward the individual steps that need to happen.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of thinking is critical on any complex, multilevel undertaking \u2014 like a film project. Unless you can get outside of the rush and see the big picture, it\u2019s easy to spend days chasing your tail.<\/p>\n<p>Things don\u2019t change overnight, but I&#8217;ve found that working in a more focused, sensible way has helped me immensely as a filmmaker.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/video-filmmaker-stands-middle-amazing-location-1191468232?src=FCoTibFi7WV7hiC_F3jRHQ-2-52\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">De Repente<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking for more ways to improve your filmmaking?
