Do you struggle with productivity? do you find yourself constantly choked and overwhelmed by the thought of getting things done?
Perhaps you are constantly busy but when the time comes to give account of how you spent your time, you find out that you have only fluff to show for all the time you’ve spent… well here are four tips to help you get your productivity game up.
#Ditch Busy!
I get it. You seem to have your hands full all the time. You are always too busy doing everything else but the things you really need to do. Always too busy to create, too busy to record, too busy eat healthy, just busy, busy, busy all the time. Do you recognise this pattern in your day to day life? Do you find yourself in situations where you cant tell exactly where all your time has gone yet you still have so many tasks left undone?
Well let me break it to you; that word busy is one of the reasons you have been stuck in the unproductive rot for a while and the first step to digging yourself out of that rot is to get rid of that flimsy excuse and take charge of your time and effort.
Eliminate the word busy from your vocabulary and start paying attention to the things that really matter by making a date with your important tasks and making sure you show up for your dates with time.
#Focus
Do you know that you can get more done in less time?
Well, that’s exactly what is possible when you start being more productive.
The problem is that most people set goals start. However, they lack the needed focus to see their tasks through. The amount of distractions that exist, do no good as well thats why you need to develop focus routine.
Your focus should be strategic in order to see results.
#Get your priorities straight
I think I hear someone arguing that they are great at multitasking, well you better come to the table with proof of your productivity or just take a sip of water and chill cos I know what I’m talking about.
Pick the “One” task that you will be most proud of achieving, lock in your focus, and get it done. Only after performing your most important tasks, are you welcome to multitasking.
#Procrastinate procrastination:
you know exactly what you should be doing yet you keep putting it off till eternity… I laugh in french… hmmm you do realise that every minute you waste never comes back to you right?
with that said, the only thing you should be procrastinating, is “Procrastination”!
yes: do your work now, and procrastinate later.
