In everyday life, many people find themselves overwhelmed with loads of activities, and at the end of the day, they manage to achieve half of what they set out to do. Well, there are essential things to have at the back of your mind and the steps you must take to be successful and productive all day.
Being productive is a constant balance between time management. Here are six helpful tips, to practice that will help you achieve outstanding results.
Find Your Most Productive Time of Day
Everyone has this; that particular time of day when you’re optimal and can deliver your best. Some people start losing their vibes and energy at some time of day. It’s not the same for everyone, so it’s up to you to pause and consider what time of day you’re most effectively working. What time of day are you most efficient and productive?
My most productive is about an hour after bed, but this doesn’t necessarily apply to you. You can work sometime after dark when the whole house is quieter. Or you can work in the afternoon to get all that energy from the sun. It depends on you, although most people feel refreshed in the mornings.
Mornings are typically when our brains are functioning their best, having un-absorbed anything from the day yet. Thoughts are easier to organize, and clarity is peaking in the morning.
Achieve Small Goals Every Day
Keep it simple and unambiguous; it’s one of the tips for having a productive day. Taking small bites may suffice if you want to eat a big meal. In the context of business and creating a brand, trying to spread the word about a product or service you’re developing may seem a tall order.
Make it smaller, get in touch or reach out to two or three Facebook group owners or Instagram influencers daily. Eventually, you’ll start making small connections which will all add up.
Delegate Your Tasks to Your Team
You can’t be everywhere at once, do everything by yourself, and you don’t know it all. This isn’t just a cliché; it’s true. As the saying goes, no man is an island. Even if you need support to grow your business, one of the best things every business owner must learn to do effectively is leverage the skills of those around them.
As a leader and manager, delegating work is important because it aids professional development among your staff, builds trust, and empowers your employees.
Know When to Sleep On It
According to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, ideas don’t always come fully formed; you must work on them to get them to a state where everyone begins to see and appreciate them. Sometimes, you have let an idea incumbent for a while.
Sometimes, too, you shouldn’t get too excited and jump into carrying out a business idea as soon as it hits you. As they say, look before you leap. Even in business, it pays to be cautious at times.
Not every idea you have is the be-all-end-all. Even though it might initially seem that way. If you feel passionate about something, you should take your time with it. Revisit the idea when your endorphins aren’t having a party; wait until your “clarity hour” and see if it has the same effect on you. Doing this helps you not waste time chasing something that will go nowhere.
Clear Your Distractions and Any Friction You Can Anticipate the Night Before
What do you do when you have a blocked sink? Unclog it, that’s what! Most often, being productive during the day requires you to unclog your mental blockage. In other words, there may be things on your table and in your mind that are nothing short of distractions, inhibiting your creativity and effectiveness. You have to identify these things and get rid of them.
I keep all distractions at a minimum. This helps me achieve a “flow-state”, where ideas and creativity can manifest, and I can function at a higher level than normal.”
How can you achieve this? Way before I even start my day, I try to clear my plate of things I may have to take care of in the morning,” the savvy content creator says, “even if it’s household chores, emails, texts, if possible, phone calls.” And once these ‘junks’ are off the table, it leaves room for you to become more productive, he points out.
Work ON Your Business, Not IN IT!
No matter what you do and how much effort you have to put into your business, it’s always a great idea not to put work before your family or yourself, for that matter. Your loved ones are an important part of you, and you need to create a healthy balance between how much time you spend nurturing relationships versus how much time you spend at work.
Rather than spending too much time physically on your business, Find ways to automate your business, so you don’t have to be there at all times to get things going. As an entrepreneur, ensure you have a solid customer service team, and hire virtual assistants to help facilitate these tasks. Once you have help, you’ll have more time to grow and expand.
