At work, we need to keep up with the rapid (and constant) advancements in technology, making it difficult to maintain a balance between being efficient and delivering quality results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">And we&#8217;ve become conditioned to expect speed and quality outside of work, too. Whether it&#8217;s ordering food, buying clothes, or booking a service, we don\u2019t have much patience for slow processes or delays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">This puts immense pressure on businesses to deliver products and services faster than ever before. To keep pace with these heightened consumer expectations, employees must find innovative ways to increase efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><em>That\u2019s where velocity comes in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">In this blog, we&#8217;ll explore what achieving velocity looks like and share \u201cvelocity hacks\u201d from our very own Intuit employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-brand-blue-mid-hover-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-964763ce5fc4ae27a6659763f588e7ac\"><strong>What is velocity?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The concept of velocity is crucial for companies to thrive in today&#8217;s environment, and critical to Intuit\u2019s mission of powering prosperity. Velocity is the combination of direction and speed. It\u2019s a way to work smarter, not harder.<br><br>According to our CEO Sasan Goodarzi, velocity is a differentiator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re leading large teams or working for yourself, operating with velocity is how you can differentiate yourself by taking more swings, failing fast, and ultimately taking the actions needed to achieve business success.&#8221; <\/p><cite>Sasan Goodarzi<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more from Sasan on velocity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/three-key-ways-operate-velocity-sasan-goodarzi-crlrc\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<br><br>Velocity isn\u2019t just about moving fast, but it\u2019s about having a deep understanding of the problem you\u2019re trying to solve, and using that insight to inform decisions.<br><br>No matter where you work or the role you play, velocity is crucial to success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-blue-mid-hover-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-d743233263cdd1abbb60eca06ef3046b\"><strong>Take charge of your calendar and to-dos<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Start the day with some easy tasks. Some quick wins help you get pumped up before tackling the big ones. <br><strong>&#8211; Amey Kinnerkar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Write a win list. I write down the three things I need to do that day to &#8220;win the day&#8221; or make the day successful. It takes priority over the to-do list and forces me to do what matters most, even if it isn&#8217;t the quickest or easiest task. <br><strong>&#8211; Aviv Harkov<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">End each day with a to-do list of the top 3 things to tackle the following day. <br><strong>&#8211; Jolie Spellacy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I like to color code my calendar into meetings I\u2019m driving versus meetings I\u2019m participating in. It helps me plan and walk into meetings feeling better prepared. <br><strong>&#8211; Audrey Meng<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I categorize what I have to get done by priority, and label small tasks as such. Whenever I feel like not doing anything or have free time, I take one of these small tasks and get it done. This brings me back to rhythm. <br>&#8211; <strong>Vinoth Arun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-blue-mid-hover-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-927b02fca4e7f2d5faf19c3be3c30c88\"><strong>Cultivate a state of flow and focus&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I pause all notifications periodically throughout the day so that I can get into a state of flow. Flow is the state of mind where you are completely focused on the task at hand and are able to work without distractions.<br>&#8211; <strong>Kerry-Ann Lewis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">For coding itself, music is key! I listen to a variety of music, but for when I really need to be productive, I have a special movie-score playlist that I play to focus.<br><strong>&#8211; Alex Pollock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I try to take a few minutes to &#8220;remember my why&#8221; at the beginning of the day, and reconnect with my sense of purpose. <br>&#8211; <strong>Tamika Hayes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-blue-mid-hover-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-43d0f8718129f87e9e52b3159740ad27\"><strong>Leverage AI to offload smaller tasks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Automate as much of your work as possible using AI.

I spend every week auditing my daily tasks, and see if I can offload those into GenStudio. <br>&#8211; <strong>Joseph Hosford<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I use AI to select the best times to be productive based on my schedule and email. It&#8217;s been really helpful. Before each week, I make sure I have my top 6 priorities where my time will be allocated and am intentional on those for the week. <br>&#8211; <strong>Betsy Scuteri<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">I love adding AI meeting assistants to my calls, they help to take meeting notes, summarize them, and turn them into actionable items. <br><strong>&#8211; Usha Shivashankara<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-brand-blue-mid-hover-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-47ca8dec7cf6b85ee7102115b47c3699\"><strong>Disconnect purposefully<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Taking short activity breaks, like disconnecting during lunch, helps me mentally recharge, reduce eye-strain, and boost focus.<strong> <\/strong><em><br><\/em><strong>&#8211; Ismail Rawoof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Wearing a smartwatch that has a Pomodoro timer app. The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method based on 25-minute stretches of focused work broken by five-minute breaks.
