3 Time-Management Tips From a Google Exec A few small attitude adjustments could drastically improve your productivity at work. That's from a Google executive to his staff.

If it seems like there aren't enough hours in the work day, the solution might be as simple as changing how you think about time.
In an email to his team, Jeremiah Dillon, head of product marketing at Google Apps for Work, offered several tips to make the most of your work day. His theory: A smarter allocation of your time in the office could be the quick fix to accomplishing the tasks that have plagued your to-do list for far too long.
Here are some key takeaways from Dillon's email.

1. Be specific about your goals.

Dillon notes that the workplace can be divided into two groups of people: makers and managers. While managers' days are sorted into 30-minute intervals, makers think about their time in half days or full days. They commit to "make time," or to completing tasks within a particular time frame of their day.
Dillon points to a study about exercise, in which three experiment groups were asked to exercise. The group with the most specific instructions--to commit to exercise at on a predetermined day and time--had the highest rate of success, with 91 percent of subjects actually exercising.
Similarly, Dillon advises that managers might be more productive if they think of their time as makers do, clearly indicating when and where they will reserve time for specific projects.

2. Rethink your meeting schedule.

Take a look the meetings on your calendar. Perhaps some can be made shorter or include fewer people, and others could be rescheduled or even canceled altogether. You can then reallocate the time you've saved.

3. Plan your days and weeks according to your likely energy levels.

Each day, try to push your "make time" toward the mornings, when you're at your sharpest. Don't put off essential tasks until late Friday when the week's meetings are completed, Dillon advises. Use energy from the weekends to plan your week on Monday. Conquer your most important tasks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when your motivation will be highest. Thursdays should be used for meetings, and Fridays, when enthusiasm ebbs, are useful for long-term planning and relationship building.

The 1 Simple Thing You Can Do to Make Your Business More Profitable New research confirms what we already know, yet very few businesses are actually doing anything about it.


We got yet more data Monday that shows that adding more women to your management team will improve your financial results. The question now is how many studies like this one we're going to need before homogeneous management teams get serious about improving the health of their businesses.
The most recent study, from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, found that the presence of more women in high levels of corporate leadership is associated with higher levels of profitability at their firms. The next most influential variable was the proportion of female board members. The presence of a female CEO appeared not to matter much. "This pattern underscores the importance of creating a pipeline of female managers," says the study.
According to this research, a profitable company in which 30 percent of the top executives are women would expect to be about 15 percent more profitable than one in which the C suite is all male. Unprofitable companies gain even more.
When it comes to the U.S., this should not surprise anyone.
  • A study by not-for-profit Catalyst found that companies with the highest representation of women on their senior management teams had a 35 percent higher return on investment and a 34 percent higher total return to shareholders than those with the least women in senior management. A study by Credit Suisse also found a link between female management and financial success.
  • An academic study back in 2003 found a positive relationship between the diversity of a company's board and its financial performance. A Catalyst study of boards reached a similar conclusion.
In the world of startups, the research is equally convincing:
  • First Round Capital studied 300 of its investments across about 600 companies, and found that the companies that included at least one woman founder performed 63 percent better, as measured by increases in valuation, than those founded by all-male teams.
  • The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation showed that women-led private technology companies have a 35 percent higher return on investment than male-led ones. When they get venture money, these women-led companies generate revenue that is 12 percent higher than that of comparable male-run tech companies.
  • A study by Illuminate Ventures demonstrated that women use capital more efficiently than men.
What's different about the Peterson Institute study is its scale and scope. It surveyed 21,980 firms across 91 countries. Nearly 60 percent of these companies had an all-male board of directors. Just over half had no women in the very highest management ranks (the so-called C suite) and less than five percent had a female CEO.
At about a third of the firms studied, or 7,859, both the board of directors and the highest executive ranks were less than five percent female. Exactly 11 companies had all-female boards and an all-female slate of senior executives.
As with other studies about gender diversity, it's hard to know if better financial results proceeded from women being in positions of power or from diversity in general. It could be that the same results could be obtained by having a leadership team that was diverse in other ways--maybe economic background, race or ethnicity, education, or geography.
It would also be interesting to take a closer look at companies that are overwhelmingly run by women. Unfortunately, among the 21,980 companies studied by the Peterson Institute, these are few and far between. Only 13 have a board of directors that is more than 80 percent women and senior management that is more than 80 percent women. So whatever we would learn from them wouldn't be statistically significant. One thing that is becoming increasingly obvious, though, is that the good-old-boy network, for all its convenience, isn't actually good for business.

3 Science-Backed Ways to Improve Your Memory Recent research reveals odd but effective ways to tune up your brain.


You rely on your car, so you take it in for regular service and try to keep it in top working order by checking the tire pressure, topping up the coolant, etc. Considering that your brain is even more vital to your well-being than your car, shouldn't you show it the same respect?
Science shows that there are simple but unexpected behavior changes and practices that can help keep your brain functioning at its best. PsyBlog rounded up a handful of recent studies on the subject, including these.

1. 40 seconds is enough to cement a memory.

Looking to get better at remembering new facts, faces, and names? Spending just 40 seconds mentally replaying new information seems to be enough to make it stick in your brain.
That's the conclusion of a recent study that asked subjects to try to recall YouTube clips. Those that spent 40 seconds replaying the clips (either mentally or out loud) had vastly better recall weeks later. "The findings have implications for any situation where accurate recall of an event is critical, such as witnessing an accident or crime. Memory for the event will be significantly improved if the witness rehearses the sequence of events as soon as possible afterwards," commented lead researcher Chris Bird.

2. Stop snacking late at night.

OK, this study was on mice, not people, so more research is clearly needed, but as you probably shouldn't be downing chocolate bars late at night anyway, it's probably a good idea to heed these preliminary results.
"We have provided the first evidence that taking regular meals at the wrong time of day has far-reaching effects for learning and memory," said lead author Dawn Loh. "Since many people find themselves working or playing during times when they'd normally be asleep, it is important to know that this could dull some of the functions of the brain."

3. Eat more veggies (and drink your hot cocoa?).

While we're talking about diet, here's another sensible tip that has an unexpected effect on your brain. If you're older, eating your veggies isn't just a great way to get your vitamins; it can also significantly slow memory decline, according to recent research. Mom, it appears, was right yet again.
The study of 3,718 retirement age folks living in Chicago found that "compared to people who consumed less than one serving of vegetables a day, people who ate at least 2.8 servings of vegetables a day saw their rate of cognitive change slow by roughly 40 percent. This decrease is equivalent to about five years of younger age," reports PsyBlog. More surprisingly, hot chocolate has also been linked to slower cognitive decline among seniors.
Looking for other, more immediate interventions that can improve your memory? A nap might do wonders, other science attests. Or try some of these techniques for better recall from a memory master.
