Here are a few tricks you could use to become the "Pro" of productivity and get achieving more in your life:
- Limit social media time to when you are on lunch, commuting, or give yourself 15 minutes in the morning, but make sure to leave your evening social media free to prevent hours of use. This will add nearly 2 hours to your regular productive day.
- Limit entertainment. We've all binge watched. Leave this for the weekends! I, personally, have a policy at home that says that I cannot watch television or use the computer for entertainment on any week night. This basically freed up my entire schedule.
- During the week, make sure cooking times are kept to a minimum by making easier meals or preparing during the weekend.
- Put a time-limit on chores, even if it doesn't get done. Your time is a precious commodity.
- Reduce commute time. Are you taking the bus and could potentially drive or car-pool? Perhaps you have the option to work from home.
- How much do you sleep? Of anything, if you need more than 8 hours of sleep a night or take frequent naps, this could really cut into your ability to be productive. If you are dragging after a full night of sleep, you may want to question if you have a sleep disorder: (https://www.healthline.com/health/sleep-disorders-warning-signs#diagnosis)
- Lastly, use the small moments. Do you have a job that has downtime throughout the day or maybe you have a 1 hour lunch break? Use this time to read educational articles or making phone calls that are vital to achieving your goal.
With a little discipline, you would be surprised at how much more you'll accomplish and how great you'll feel! If you would like to start conquering your goals and begin living a life of achievement, feel free to check out my goal achievement programs at: www.searchlightorganization.com.
