My Productivity on a Daily Basis

I Learn How to Manage My Time to be More Productive

The quest for increased personal productivity for making the best possible use of your limited time can be overwhelming and sometimes the better you get at managing time, the less of it you feel that you have

If you’re busy all day reacting to people’s request, working non-stop and against the clock, multitasking in an attempt to get all your tasks done and checked off from your to-do list

1. As the day comes to a close, you have little to show for all the time, effort and energy you have put into your day’s work. You shouldn’t live and work like that.
2. The good news is, you can take control and start accomplishing almost everything you set out to do on any given day. Don’t allow these habits to deny you a great day at work!

How do you spend your time?

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives"

Time. It is arguably your most valuable asset.

We often overlook certain routines which leads to lost productivity.

You probably have no idea how much time you spend on a single task every day. It’s very easy to forget to track how you work.

You will be shocked by how much time you’re actually wasting on tasks that have little or no value to your life and work

• You can take complete control of your time if you can be mindful of what kind of time you’re taking and what you are spending it on
• When you’re focused on one thing at a time, accomplishing it, then moving on, you can easily track how much time you spend on your daily activities
• If everyone has the same number of hours in the day, why do some people seem to get so much more done than others?
• How do they do more, achieve more, earn more, have more?
• If time is the currency of achievement, then why are some able to cash in their allotment for more chips than others?

The answer is they make getting to the heart of things the heart of their approach. They go small. Going small is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do

It’s recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most. It’s a tighter way to connect what you do with what you want. It’s realizing that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus

Are your goals specific, attainable, measurable and time-bound?

• Write your goals down in detail and read your list of goals every day
• Some goals may entail a list of shorter goals
• Losing a lot of weight, for example, should include mini-goals, such as 10-pound milestones
• This will keep your subconscious mind focused on what you want step by step

The best approach for setting and achieving your goals is not have too many goals at a time. Having too many goals makes things complicated and requires a more complicated system for keeping track of your goals

Keep things as simple as possible if you can.

That has the added benefit of allowing you to focus your energies on a small number of goals, making you far more effective with them.

Set goals, especially for the most important areas of your life :

1. Career
2. Relationships
3. Finance, health and personal growth

Where do you see yourself in these areas in the next six months, or one, three and five years?

Your goals directly impact your actions which impact your results!

Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

If you don’t take time to assess results and figure out how to do more of what’s working, you be wasting a lot of time on activities that have little impact on your productivity

• Examine your work constantly
• Meticulously analyze your inputs and outputs

The overwhelming reality about life and living it is this :

We live in a world where a lot of things are taking up your most time but given you the least results and a very few things are exceptionally valuable.

You can not overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.

Are you getting the results you expect?

This might seem like a waste of time at first, but once you see how valuable performance data is for getting doing better in life you’ll start measuring where the week has gone.
