Nowadays, you simply have to be productive. In school, at work, in your personal life. We live in a create-on-demand world so you must have felt the pressure every now and then.
The thing you always have to remember when it comes to being productive, regardless of the context: you got to have a clear mindset. Clarity of thoughts, needs, of the objectives you have to attain. Apparently, wearing the same thing every day could also help, but that’s not on our agenda today.
Some people have a native skill in making the best out of their time. They are living the prolific life. They achieve so many things by the end of the week as if they worked 100 hours instead of 50, and they still have the energy to enjoy themselves. They are efficient, brilliant and healthy at the same time. If it’s not your case, don’t panic because you are not the odd one out. You just have to work on your productivity habits.
Here are 5 first-hand tips that won’t let you down:
Let’s say there are mornings in which there are one too many “frogs” for your taste. My advice for you is to cut your day in a couple of chunks, each of them with its own frog – it works perfectly for me. Taking a break after each part will make this technique easy and rewarding.
The moment you’ll realize that you have to be productive in the long run, you will find ways to prevent burnout.
4. Anchor yourself in the present
Pay attention to the way you connect with people, the way food tastes, how you feel about different matters you come across, and how you are influenced by the outside world. It will uplift your awareness, and you will pay more attention to details. Eventually, details will turn into original ideas. And you need creativity in order to be productive.
