Happy Monday!
It started out as a grey and rainy morning here, but it looks like the sun has come out to play at least a little. I was supposed to go out and run some errands this morning, but it looks like that will be tomorrow now. By the time I got my Monday chores caught up and everyone’s bonuses delivered from yesterday it was almost noon!
As I mentioned in yesterday’s roundup, it’s going to be a busy week this week both in terms of new product releases and in my own to-do list. So let’s dive right in… I’m feeling like maybe we should talk time management again this week just for my own sanity. What do you think?
Today’s Read: Tips for Being More Productive
There’s a common misconception that being productive means that they get a superhuman amount of work done each day or that they mark off everything on their to-do list. I’ve fallen prey to that thinking too. But being productive isn’t about getting everything done or doing more than others. It’s about getting the tasks that matter, the tasks that affect things finished each day on time, well, and efficiently.
Here are a few tips to consider when you want to up your productivity…
Tip #1 – Have well-defined goals
The best way to increase your productivity is to set well-defined goals. Whether it’s work, personal, social, or something else entirely, if you know what your goals are, it’ll be easier to work toward those dreams that you have for your life.
Tip #2 – Make plans that achieve those goals
Once you know the results you want to achieve, then you will need to know how to translate those goals into plans. For example, if you’re going to start a business, you may want to make a list of the tasks that need to be completed to start a business. Put the list in order, determine what you’ll do, what someone else will do, and then get the tasks spread out over a reasonable amount of time and then do them.
Tip #3 – Use each moment to the fullest
Once you have your plans in place in and your schedule for each day, you can easily tackle the tasks one at a time until you finish and have your results. Cut distractions, and you’ll get done faster.
Tip #4 – Practice being mindful
The one way you can ensure your mind doesn’t wander and get off task is to practice being mindful. There are many techniques from setting a timer, to being accountable to a coach, and more that can help you.
Tip #5 – Celebrate your successes
When you succeed, be sure to celebrate what you’ve accomplished. The more you celebrate being done with something, the more you’ll want to keep getting done without procrastination on time.
Tip #6 – Learn to prioritize your actions
When you know what the results are that you need to be considered successful, you’ll be able to set your actions in the order required to be successful.
You can be productive in life at work and at home. While the two are slightly different, being productive in your entire life is essential. Put these tips into action and see if your productivity and ability to achieve your goals doesn’t improve.
