10 Tips To Become A Very Productive Person
Are you a productive person? Have you ever wondered what makes one more productive than another? Being productive takes a serious amount of determination and thought . To really double down and get the most out of your time, here are 10 fast tips for becoming more productive:
1. Stop waiting for perfect conditions to launch a great project. Immediate action fuels a positive feedback loop that drives even more action.
2. Remember that big, brave goals release energy. So set them clearly and then revisit them every morning for 5 minutes.
3. Get up at 5 am. Win the battle of the bed. Put mind over mattress. This habit alone will strengthen your willpower so it serves you more dutifully in the key areas of your life.
4. Drink more water. When you’re dehydrated, you’ll have far less energy. And get less done.
5. Know the plan for your day before it arrives. This helps curb distractions. Set simple goals for the day, and then accomplish them
6. Give yourself a concrete amount of time to make a dent in a large project. Don’t focus on whether the project was completed. Just put in the time and watch the progress.
7. Whatever it takes, stay on schedule; and if at all possible, show up early. Being punctual to your various commitments gives you the buffer needed to handle any unexpected responsibilities.
8. Figure out your peak times for getting things done. Schedule your high-priority tasks for those times. Schedule less important tasks before and after.
9. Get things right the first time. Most people are wildly distracted these days. And so they make mistakes. To unleash your productivity, become one of the special performers who have the mindset of doing what it takes to get it flawless first. This saves you days of having to fix problems.
10. At the end of the day, laser in on one final task, finish it, then call it quits. Don’t let yourself be distracted by a bunch of half-done tasks that you’d like to mark off your to-do list.
