1. Start the day planning. This the obvious one but also rarely practised. Remember the 5P (Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance), 15 min of planning saves you 3h of execution and failing to plan is planning to fail. Sounds like such an old cliche but it is so true. So remember to set your productivity goal
ls for day, week and month. Also a great new habit that I am cultivating right now is to do in the evening a list of 4-5 productivity tasks for next day, just couple the most leverage activities.
2. Have clear outcomes not a meaningless “to do” list. There is a big difference between an outcome and a task.
3. Ask yourself WHY do you want to achieve an outcome. Answering the question will give you the following:
- It might actually show you that you do not need it
- It will give you the “rocket fuel” to go after it, it can create the emotional connection that will drive to make it happen
- It might help you to find more effective and alternative in order to achieve the outcome
4. Create an effective producing zone. Have a mental discipline to close down all
unnecessary things that might take you out of your flow of producing. That is: start with all the reminders (sounds, pop ups, etc). Switch off all facebook, twitters, emails, other accounts etc.
5. Finish the day asking this important question: What have I achieved today? And be honest with yourself.
6. Use stop watch to create a fully focused time. It is amazing what you can have done if you set a goal and go after it 100%. Give yourself a deadline e.g 1h, or 45 min to complete a task.
7. 90% of your time must be spend in MMA (Money Making Activities). In running home based business the only money making activities are: driving traffic and connecting with prospects.
8. Multitasking is not efficient and it lessens your IQ.
9. Do not master time management, master yourself. Discipline yourself. You always have the
choice, but the question is do you have the discipline and supporting habits.
10. Create routines for everything you do – so you will dive nicely into it without wasting time into learning and accommodating.
11. Emails are NMMA – No Money Making Activities. Set a schedule to check emails twice a
day, no more than 30 min a day!12. Exercises are vital. If you do not do it, you will have no energy. Period.
13. Pick 1-2 strategy and own it before moving on. Do not make the mistake that so many new online entrepreneurs do. Finding a strategy and moving on to the next exciting one and so on, without spending time to really master it.
14. Create a schedule and stick to it. Block time for certain activities. Create routines so you will just flow into it.
