The Good, Bad & Ugly: 10 Productivity Strategies to Start Using Now

Most business owners find themselves inundated with unnecessary tasks and distractions. How do you make sure the activities you do are the most productive use of your time and move you closer to your goals? What questions do you need to consistently ask yourself to make sure you get the most out of everything you put your time into? On this episode, I share how you can become more productive in the most profitable way, and how you can re-engineer your relationship with time.

 

3 Things We Learned From This Episode

• Link everything you do to your goals. Whatever you do, ask yourself, “Is what I’m doing right now measurably moving me closer to my goals?”
• If you’re heavy in production in real estate, and you’re not working on things that will get you out of that process, you’re not doing enough to get closer to your goal.
• Stop having “got a minute?” meetings and start having high level, high-impact meetings.

Productivity is the deliberate, strategic investment of your time, talent, intelligence, energy, resources, and opportunities in a manner calculated to move you measurably closer to meaningful goals. By this definition, productivity isn’t just about getting things done, it’s about getting the right things done and only dedicating your focus to things that align with your goals. That means you have to make smart decisions with every minute of time you’re given daily. There are no shortcuts. You have to know what your time is worth, limit distractions, consistently keep track of what you’re producing, and make sure communication in your organization doesn’t rob you of precious time.
