Episode 246, where we delve into the crucial topic of productivity. We focus on learning to do more in a day and become More Productive!
Why can some people accomplish more in a day than others? The secret may be that they found a way to be more productive when tackling their to-do list.
In the morning, I am more focused, have more energy, and have fewer distractions. Therefore, I prioritize what must be done by doing it first. Later in the day may be the best time for others to focus.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how productive are you each day?
Have you ever felt busy the entire day and unproductive at the end of a workday? This is especially true if you're in sales. You were busy answering emails, working on internal projects, and spending very little time offering solutions to your current clients or new prospects.
Being productive in today's world is a constant battle against the allure of technology. The advent of social media, instant messaging, and the on-demand world has significantly increased distractions, making time management more challenging than ever.
There are many ways each of us can be more productive. For the rest, we must understand a few guidelines.
- Understand how you work best
- Staying organized
- Outcomes over Outputs.
Understanding how to set ourselves up for productivity is crucial. Knowledge empowers us to eliminate as many distractions as possible and focus on the outcomes we need to accomplish. This means prioritizing tasks that will significantly impact our goals rather than just completing many tasks. Focusing on outcomes over outputs gives us a sense of control and confidence over our work, as we can see our progress towards our objectives.
One of the most effective productivity hacks, the Ivy Lee Method, was created over 100 years ago. Ivy Lee designed this process to maximize productivity for Charles Schwab's executive team by helping them focus on less to do more. The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity and proven effectiveness, giving you the confidence to apply it in your daily routine.
Most of us have applied his method. For example, when preparing for vacation, you focus on what must be completed before leaving. It's incredible how we eliminate distractions and create the desired outcomes before leaving.
The Ivy Lee Method, a century-old yet powerful technique, is a testament to the timelessness of productivity strategies. Designed by Ivy Lee to help Charles Schwab's executive team focus on less to do more, this method is a must-try for anyone seeking to boost their productivity.
Step 1. Write down six of the most important things you want to accomplish that day.
Step 2. Prioritize that list. Some people find it best to do the smaller tasks first, while others find it more effective to get the big stuff out of the way first.
Step 3. Focus and work through the list.
Step 4. Check off the tasks you completed. Scratching tasks from your list, no matter how small, brings a unique satisfaction. This feeling of accomplishment can be a great motivator to keep you going.
Step 5. Repeat.
Set yourself up to be more productive.
One of the most important things you can do to stay productive is to focus on yourself. It's also essential to take regular breaks between your outcomes. These short breaks are not just a pause in your work; they are a form of self-care that can improve your focus and prevent burnout, giving you a sense of relief and control.
Keep moving.
