Just Do It!

Like most things in life, there's always something else that needs to be done, or that takes our attention away from certain tasks.

Distractions reduce our productivity. If you want to get things done, just get on with it and do it.

Jump right in and remove anything that comes between you and the task at hand.

You will feel better for getting it done.

Define three daily outcomes every morning -

This isn't your to-do list.

These are three outcomes that you want to accomplish by the end of the day.

It makes for a great visualization exercise as well.

If you didn't already clear your desk by the end of the day on Friday, do it first thing this morning.

It's a great way to start your Monday.

When your desk is clear, it helps you focus on what needs to be accomplished for the day.

Only keep files you are currently working on close by.

Have a great day!

We are living in crazy times.

Remember to take a few deep breaths throughout the day.

Every day.

A little chocolate couldn't hurt either.

It’s ok to say No.

You may not want to disappoint anyone, but for your own productivity, learn how to say "no" to them.

It isn't always the greatest feeling, however you're not going to appease everyone.

If you said "yes" to everybody and every request, you would have no time to do what you need and want to accomplish.

It's ok to say No.

What are the most important things you need or want to accomplish today?

Instead of attempting to do all the things on your To Do list, concentrate on the one to three tasks that will make the most impact.

If you have time after that, do the next one.

There's no need to add stress to your day. Take a deep breath...and go!

Schedule activities that bring you joy.

Plan things that make you happy just as you would a business meeting.

Schedule lunch with a friend once a week or a walk in the park.

It may sound silly to schedule these types of things, however, once they are in your calendar, you are more likely to follow through with them every time.

11/06/2024

Don’t underestimate the power of small chunks of time to get things done.

Instead of wasting the 15 minutes between meetings, come up with a list of little tasks that you can knock out in 15, 10, or even five minutes:

Answer emails, reach out to a contact, get some industry reading done.

11/04/2024

For a few days, take an inventory of how you spend your time, to find out where & how you are using it.

And then think about how you can you change your routine to incorporate more productive work.

Or notice when your energy is best to concentrate on that project you want to finish.

When you are ready for a break, go for a walk or do your favorite form of exercise.

It will help clear your mind for your next endeavor.

Set a "Shut Down" time in the evening.

Setting a time to stop checking emails, texts, and social media a few hours prior to going to bed allows you to decompress, relax and rest.

We need time to just hang out and so do our devices.

Most situations can wait until morning when you are fresh and ready to address them.

A few Quick Tips for your Wednesday -

- Get plenty of sleep.

- Set some fun intentions.

Expect the unexpected.

As we know, not everything goes as planned.

Sometimes we begin a project in earnest, and get an urgent phone call and the project gets put on the back burner.

Prepare yourself for the possibility of interruptions.

Jot down a few notes so you remember where you were, and then focus on the interruption.

Once it is taken care of, start by reviewing your notes, refresh your brain, and then pick up the project where you left off.

10/25/2024

Make sure to schedule a lot of breaks throughout your day.

We are most productive when we have chunks of focused work followed by short breaks.

Use a timer, if need be, to remind yourself to get up from your desk; grab a snack or some water; go for a short walk, especially now that the weather is more conducive to do so; or listen to a favorite song before getting back to your work.

How good is your timing?

When you know you want to get a couple of things done on a particular day, how tuned in are you to get them completed at the moment you are thinking about it?

Do you find yourself saying - "it's a good thing I did that when I did” because something came up suddenly, right after you finished your ‘thing', and it was perfect timing.

Personally, I find myself saying this a lot. One example is when I work on a client project and realize it is a good thing I did it at that time because the rest of the day ended up being crazy.

Be cognizant of your time and how you want to spend it in the moment.

Limit your hours.

Many people work long hours and think they're getting more done and being more productive.

Instead, cut back on your hours and set a limit - say 6 or 7 hours a day - and get your most essential work done within that limit.

If you know you're only working 6 hours today, you'll be sure to get the important tasks done first and waste less time.

Limits help you to be more effective.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." ~Lao Tzu

Clear the top of your desk of all personal mementos.

As much as they may provide inspiration, they can also be a source of stress; cause you to daydream; or stop you from focusing on your work.

Hang your keepsakes on the walls, or place them on shelves.

Give yourself space to work at your desk without distractions.

You'll be amazed at what a difference it makes!

A few Monday Quick Tips:

- Instead of trying to "find" time for necessary tasks, reduce stress by scheduling those tasks.

- Write down an agenda before making a phone call so you remember the important points.

- Build in some flexibility for unexpected tasks that may run over their allotted time. This exercise enables you to make better decisions about how you'll spend your day when your mind is clear and focused on what's important to you.

- Make sure you add some free time to the calendar for activities such as going to the gym, taking a walk, or something else you enjoy.
