5 Productivity Power-Ups you've been missing out on

You can make small changes that will drastically increase your return on investment. By embracing the suggestions below, you will leverage your time. We cannot create more time; it is the one thing that is equal among us. We all have 24 hours a day and 168 hours a week. How we choose to spend it is the only difference. Here are 5 of my main time leveraging strategies my clients and I utilize with significant gains. So select one and start to gain back time and increase productivity.  

1. Be Intentional with Time

Plan your week on Saturday or Sunday. My clients and I use a Google calendar; we colour-code our activities for easy recognition and print them out. This dual method - digital for efficiency and physical for visibility - ensures you capture everything for the week, keeping you focused and the important (goals) dialled in.

2. Set Daily Priorities: Every morning, take 2 minutes to identify your top 3 priorities for the day. Mine are 1 health and 2 wealth. Then, I use a sticky note or a digital reminder. This focus prevents you from being overwhelmed by less important tasks and keeps your eye on the prize.  

3. Mindful Breaks: Productivity increases by taking short, mindful breaks. Use this time to step away from work, practice deep breathing, or enjoy a quiet moment. These breaks refresh your mind, helping you to stay present and engaged. It is beneficial, especially for problem-solving.

4. Single-Tasking Over Multitasking:

Focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can lead to half-done jobs and increased stress. Single-tasking lets you fully present with each task, improving quality and efficiency.

5. Set the Right Goals: Establish what is the most important goal to work towards. Setting too many goals and ones that are unrealistic leads to a constant rush, preventing you from being present. Setting the right goals keeps you grounded and focused. Whether you are new to goal setting or not, goal setting is a process that takes practice, and it is helpful to have a coach.
