PRODUCTIVITY TIPS


Have you ever felt there just isn’t enough hours in the day?  Ever wonder why some people seem to be much more productive than others?  Would you like to be more productive?  Then this article is for you.

I have spent years looking for a way to squeeze more out of each day.  With three boys, a husband, and the demands of owning a business, getting more from my time is a must.

There are some basic solutions that anyone can apply if they truly desire to be more productive with each day.  Here are a few.

First, Plan your week.  Schedule out your events for the week and determine where and when you have “leftover” time. 

Second, List and prioritize tasks.  Make a task list and break it down into personal, family and business.  Prioritize your list. Contrary to popular belief all things do not have to be accomplished right now.  As you prioritize your task list you will see what must happen tomorrow and what can wait till later in the week.

Third, Coordinate your efforts!  Especially with the price of gas!  Look for tasks that can wait until you are in the area to accomplish them at the same time.  For example, I love it when I can stop at the market on the way back to the office from a consulting appointment.  I have accomplished a personal task without adding miles and depleting dollars. 

These are just a few ways to stretch your time and be more productive in it.  Planning ahead helps you not only be more productive but less stressed and worried about how you are going to get everything done. Believe it or not, 15 minutes of planning will make you feel like you’ve gained hours in productive time.
