“How Do You Become More

Productive in Your Home Business Opportunity?”

By Lloyd Dobson

When I was a youngster my Dad shared with me a very

fundamental philosophy for doing well. He said son "When you don't study in school your grades show it and when you

are not productive in the market place your pay check

shows it.”

He also shared with me that all work and no play made

for a boring life.

Make sure you do not fall into the

“busy game” trap.

I go to the Sirata Beach Resort in St Pete Beach, Florida several times a

month and get the question all the time; “Wow, you are so busy, how do you enjoy

life so much?”

The truth is, I have a ton of time to enjoy life. How?

I prioritize my time each morning so I can

accomplish tasks in a very efficient and effective

manner.

This eliminates tasks converting over to the next day and stacking on top of

each other and adding stress in my life.

Ever feel overwhelmed as you start your day?

Here are 8 tips to becoming more

productive during the workday to eliminate feeling overwhelmed!

Harness your productivity by taking note of these

eight things:

1) Create a smaller to-do list. Getting things accomplished

during your workday shouldn’t be about doing as much as possible in the sanctioned eight hours. It

may be hard to swallow, but there’s nothing productive about piling together a slew of tasks in the form of a checklist. Take a

less-is-more approach to your to-do list by only focusing on

accomplishing things that matter.

2) Take breaks. You know that ache that fills your brain when you’ve been powering through tasks for several hours? This is

due to your brain using up glucose. Too many people

mistake this for a good feeling, rather than a signal to take a break. Go take a walk, grab

something to eat, workout, or meditate – give your brain

some resting time.

Achieve more productivity during your workday by

making a point to regularly clear your head.

You’ll come back recharged and ready to

achieve greater efficiency.

3) Follow the 80/20 rule. Did you know that only 20 percent

of what you do each day produces 80 percent of your results? Eliminate the things that don’t matter during your workday: they have a minimal

effect on your overall productivity. For example, on a project, systematically remove tasks until you end up with the

20 percent that gets the 80 percent of results.

4) Start your day by focusing on yourself. If you begin your

morning by checking your email, it allows others to

dictate what you accomplish. Set yourself in the right

direction by ignoring your emails and taking the morning to focus on yourself, eat a good

breakfast, meditate, or read the news.

5) Take on harder tasks earlier in the day. Knock

out your most challenging work when

your brain is most fresh. Save your busy work – if you have any – for when your afternoon slump

rolls in.

6) Pick up the phone. The digital world has created poor communication habits. Email

is a productivity killer and usually a distraction from

tasks that actually matter. For example, people often copy

multiple people on emails to get it off their plate – don’t be

a victim of this action.

This distracts everyone else by creating noise against the

tasks they’re trying to accomplish and is a sign of laziness. If you receive an

email where many people are CC’d, do everyone a favor by

BCCing them on your reply. If your email chain goes beyond

two replies, it’s time to pick up the phone. Increase your

productivity by scheduling a call.

7) Create a system. If you know certain things are ruining your

daily productivity, create a system for managing them. Do

you check your emails throughout the day? Plan a

morning, afternoon, and evening time slot for managing

your email. Otherwise, you’ll get distracted from

accomplishing more important goals throughout the day.

8) Don’t confuse productivity with laziness. While no one

likes admitting it, sheer laziness is the # 1 contributor to lost productivity. In fact, a

number of time-saving methods – take meetings and

emails for example – are actually just ways to get out of

doing real work. Place your focus on doing the things that matter most as efficiently and

effectively as possible.

Remember, less is more when it comes to being productive during the

workday.

Enjoy the process of becoming more productive.
