Easy Way to Increase Productivity

The key to productivity is focus.

This week, focus on one thing.

We often don’t get things accomplished because we’re all over the place. We want to exercise more, get more sleep, work on several aspects of our business, speak up more or make more time for activities with others – all at once.

Then we beat ourselves up for not getting everything done.

Reel it in. Aside from the day-to-day things you must do, what’s ONE thing you can focus on this week? This thing shouldn’t be “start a business” or “find a new job.”

I am referring to simple things like:

• Meditating for 10 minutes

• Going to bed 30 minutes earlier

• Calling one friend

• Working out for 30 minutes

• Putting the phone down for an hour to decompress

I admit, I’m guilty of wanting to do everything all at once and find myself all over the place. I get excited. Start something. Get excited. Start something else. Then I find myself having started several tasks and goals without the completion. 

It’s imperative to keep it simple.

If you’ve got too much going and can’t seem to concentrate and figure out where your energy should be focused, reach out for support. Or, share this with someone who needs a reminder.

Lack of focus impacts our careers and businesses.
