We all know there are certain timewasters in our everyday lives, like social
media. But besides avoiding those, what
about real actionable tips that can help
you achieve more in less time? Here’s a
5-step plan to be more productive:
1. Engage in a morning routine. Many
successful leaders have a morning
routine that helps focus their mind
for the day, calm racing thoughts, and
energize their body for the day ahead.
You too can achieve this by setting
aside 10-30 minutes each morning to:
meditate for at least 5 minutes, journal
— make a plan for the day, write a short
gratitude list — and stretch or workout.
2. Eat breakfast. Sounds simple, but
many of us don’t make time for a
nutritious breakfast, often grabbing
convenience food to go. Prepare
something healthy the night before so
that you can grab that on your way out
the door. This saves money on eating
out and creates more energy by fueling
your body effectively.
3. Create boundaries around social
media. Those who are productive with
their time don’t spend hours on social
media. But that doesn’t mean they don’t
use apps like Facebook or Instagram.
They’re just smart about when they use
them. You could designate 15 minutes
twice per day for social media by setting
a timer. You may soon find that you have
a lot more time to get things done.
4. Plan your week every Friday. Taking
the time to plan out activities and commitments for the following week will
give you a big picture of everything you
want to do and help you see if you’re
over-extending yourself.
5. Make the best use of your brain.
Sounds interesting, but there is logic
here! Some people are more productive
at certain times of day. For example, if
you are a morning person you might
feel it is best to tackle challenging
projects first thing in the morning and
more menial tasks that require less
brain power —like returning phone calls,
running errands, and checking and
responding to emails — a bit later in the
day. Take 5-10 minutes to consider when
your brain is most creative, active, and
has lots of energy. Then plan activities
around that knowledge. You might find
yourself considerably more productive,
especially if you stick to the tasks you’ve
designated for certain times.
6. You get a yearly check up with your
doctor to maintain good health? You go
to the gym and I’m sure you brush your
teeth every night..
