Top 10 Productivity Tips
On yesterday’s post Ian Mcleary shared his 10 top productivity tips. Very useful:
1. Sort out my to-do list every morning
2. Start at 7 every morning.
3. Review my 99 day goals every week
4. Review my stats every week
5. Keep my CRM system up to date
6. Bring my laptop to meetings and be productive when waiting for people before meetings.
7. Do the GYM at least 3 times a week at lunchtime. The GYM helps me think and makes me more productive.
8. Avoid the laptop 1 day a week. You are more productive with 6 days work not 7.
9. Group my tasks by context, if I’m on the phone I try to do the phone calls all at once.
10. Make sure I’m doing 1 to 9
I’d say those are pretty good - although point 10 is blatant cheating.
Your Leading Thoughts
- Dont’ worry about 10. What are your top 3 productivity tips?
And then, and then, and then
Whenever I talk with too much certainty about what I’ll do then, and then, and then, I know that I’ve become arrogant and lazy.
One of the gems from the Like Minds Summit back in February was short term execution with a long term goal. In other words, it was “there’s where we want to be, but let’s execute this first.”
So, essentially, there’s no “then,”, there’s only “now.”
Your Leading Thoughts
- Do you have similar traits when you get too confident and become complacent? (Or is it just me?)
- When did you learn that execution was more important that ideas?
