If you're anything like us, motivation is easily lost when faced with the most minor of inconveniences. ⁠ ⁠ Telling ourselves that even the smallest setback — missing the bus, spilling coffee on our shirts, forgetting an early meeting or leaving behind our packed lunches — at the start of the day, sets the tone for a bad day. We feel a little sorry for ourselves, lamenting that we can only hope for a better tomorrow. But what about a better afternoon? Or hour? Well, TikTok's latest productivity hack allows us to trick our brains into pushing past the blocks.⁠ ⁠ The "four quarters" method involves splitting your day into four sections: morning (5am - 9am), late morning (10am - 1pm), afternoon (2pm - 7pm) and evening (7 pm onward). It's essentially built on similar principles of a relay, looking at the day as a series of short sprints as opposed to a long-winded marathon.⁠ ⁠ So, how does it work to keep us motivated?
