at free training head to join me and my
mom as a career strategist over the
years I've helped many professionals
land their dream job offers by teaching
them my unique strategies and techniques
and if this is something that you're
interested in working with me one on one
I can tell you more about that at the
end of this video
contrary to what you might think it has
been known that the most productive and
successful people out there aren't
necessarily focused on doing more and
more and more things in fact they're
focused on doing less they're focused on
simplicity they keep their work lives
simple and that's why they're able to be
productive so here are four key ways on
how to be more productive at work
productivity tip number one start the
day focusing on yourself if you've
developed the bad habit of waking up
each morning and immediately grabbing
your phone to check your email and
messages you've already automatically
given your power away the reason for
this is because you start your day by
focusing on other people on what other
people want from you rather than
focusing on what you want from yourself
and how you want to approach your day
same thing if instead of grabbing your
phone you're running straight to your
laptop and you're opening it up and
starting to work and you haven't done
any self-care activities before then you
want to start to really implement this
habit of focusing on yourself by
starting to do self-care activities so
whether it's morning yoga meditation
journaling just simply breathing you
want to connect with yourself first do
not touch the phone do not touch your
laptop focus on just yourself and get
yourself centered and connected before
you go ahead and start your workday and
the reason why I know this is because I
used to be this way
I used to be the person that
and immediately checked my email checked
my messages
looked at my calendar to see what I had
to do for the day and I always noticed
that it created a sense of anxiety
within me rather than a sense of peace
and ease so I have already implemented
this self-care routine and it has been
working really well for me where I
completely ignore my phone
ignore my laptop for sure and instead I
get in touch with myself I do my morning
yoga meditation journaling and from
there I'm able to clear my mind set the
right intention for the day and then be
able to start my workday on to
productivity tip number two have one two
three key goals per day that's it
what I mean by this is you want to have
goals that are achievable and ensure
that you're able to stay on track if you
have a goal where all you're telling
yourself is get everything I need to get
done done then that is a very
unrealistic vague an overwhelming goal
instead you want to have clear
actionable goals that you can be happy
about when you're able to complete them
by the time your workday ends for
example a key goal that you can have
could sound like perform all assigned
client follow-up calls for today and
another key goal could be update
forecast spreadsheet for upcoming
monthly meeting having three of these
types of key goals per day allows you to
stay productive motivated and not
overwhelmed productivity number three
minimize your to-do list the key word
here is to minimalize or another word
that I like to use that's simple and
clear chop you want to chop your to-do
list to as small as you can make it like
I said before it's not about doing more
it's about doing less and focusing on
the most urgent high-priority items you
want to taper your to-do list down to
the things that are highly urgent that
have a strict deadline and that are
extremely important those are the things
that you want to focus on for
and accomplish them as soon as you can
and finally productivity tip number four
know when to engage and when to take a
break the power in being productive lies
in knowing when to engage and when not
to engage what I mean by this is we're
not robots we can't operate 24/7 even
cars can't run day and night for years
on end eventually they'll die out
research has proven the act of taking
breaks actually allows us to be more
productive overall and the reason for
that is because it gives us the
opportunity to refuel to clear our minds
and allow our bodies to relax so that
once we're ready to get back to working
we're going to be able to do so with
more energy productive people are
productive because they understand
themselves they know their habits and
they know what works best for them so
the more that you can understand
yourself the better and more productive
you're going to be and the more
successful you'll be in your career now
