Before going fully in for the ways to improve yourself and your productivity, there is one golden rule to always remember. It is okay to stay behind sometimes, and generally, everyone once and then feels the same way. That’s why we are here, sharing some knowledge on it anyway!
You have to understand that you cannot change your habits in a day. There is no magic formula to use to become a dreamy productive person overnight. It takes time, discipline, and patience.
Always make sure to start slowly, but add more and more. Your brain itself will try to put you behind sometimes, and that’s the exact moment you will make sure to fight it. And, of course, win!
Let’s go ahead and put some stuff on the list. Remember, you will need to tailor these according to your habits, and time.
Make sure to work it out in detail. And never, we cannot stress this enough, NEVER overwhelm yourself with duties. There are tasks you WANT to do, and there are you are ABLE to do. Understand the difference well, and do not try to win something over that you basically cannot in a given time or with resources. Your to-do list can sometimes include only one thing for the whole week, and that’s okay. Just make sure it gives you the power to continue at the end.
Rule: Plan your list according to your resources. Do not underestimate and do not overdo.
Then, we get a question in mind. How can you improve your resources? How can you help yourself out in order to gain more privilege over those tasks you want to accomplish?
Well, productivity starts with your environment – needless to say. So make sure to have an environment goes well with your schedule. Ask these questions to yourself, and answer honestly:
- How is your surrounding area while you are working? Silent enough? Too calm? What do you like, really?
- Do you have everything you need whenever you need them? Do you need additional tools that you cannot reach all the time?
- Do you need a network you can grow quickly in order to enlarge your business and/or leads? What is the easiest way for you to reach people out?
- And most importantly, do you have a quality workspace? Or you try to handle your tasks meanwhile neighbour hitting the nail and kids jumping around?
If you have answered these questions with “ehr, ugh, nope” then you may need a better place. And good for you, that there are tons of places out there to provide you an excellent workspace to boost your productivity.
