The Battle for Productivity
Every entrepreneur wants to be productive. It feels good to look at something tangible and say, “I created this. I made this. I did this.”
To get things done. To check things off a list. To make a serious dent in your checklist.
Productivity looks different to different people, but the feeling is universal. For one person, creating an incredible presentation or meeting the needs of a specific client can make them feel amazing. For another, it may mean developing a new product or coming up with a new design.
For you, it may be completely different, but you know the good feeling you get by putting in a productive day.
Productivity encourages a true sense of purpose. It offers a deep feeling of accomplishment that’s important to a happy and fulfilled life.
Being productive also gives you the freedom to spend more time with the ones you love and less time worrying about the things that are left unfinished.
If you’re looking for that sense of purpose and happiness that can come from being productive, there are 4 pillars of productivity that can help you focus on the things that will get you there.
Productivity isn’t always easy. There are so many things that can cause your productivity to falter and even come to a complete stop.
All-day long, you’re receiving:
-
Notifications
-
Texts
-
Slack messages
-
Emails
-
Social media pings
-
Calls
-
And a whole lot more!
Just as you start getting to important matters, your phone dings. It’s a new message that you feel like you should probably check. You look at your phone and, the next thing you know, 45 minutes have passed. You’ve been sucked into the black hole of social media.
And even if you’re able to set aside distractions, you may still feel like you’re not really accomplishing anything.
But, the fresh fruit of productivity is well within your grasp. You want that good feeling of productivity and it’s entirely in your control.
There are four pillars to productivity that are actionable ideas you can start today:
-
Pillar #1 - Develop a system that works for you. Make it sustainable and continue tweaking it for the best results.
-
Pillar #2 - Wake up early in the morning, ready for the day while the rest of the world sleeps.
-
Pillar #3 - Cut out the countless distractions that prohibit your work instead of enhancing it.
-
Pillar #4 - Overcome the most difficult tasks first. Afterward, enjoy the fruits of your labor with an easier afternoon or evening.
Your new and productive work-style will help you live that happy and fulfilled life that so many people are seeking.
At the end of the day, you can put your work aside and invest in the relationships in your life that are most meaningful. You can rest easy knowing that you gave your best effort and put in a productive and fruitful workday.
