We can't achieve our goals without being productive. But sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day. Kris McPeak is a certified life coach, author, blogger, podcast host, founder of the Silver Peak Performance swim team… and she also holds a full-time job. We couldn't think of anyone better to give us holiday productivity hacks! How does she do it all? Prioritization, routine and self-care. It all goes hand in hand. Kris spends 8 hours at the office, makes sure she gets 8 hours sleep, and that leaves 8 hours to elevate. And Kris really has made the most of those 8 hours. She's written the books Shake it Off: Ten 10 Minute Resets For Your Day (Making Work Work For You), and Elevate Your 8: 21 Days to Prosperous Time Management, AND launched her new podcast Elevate Your 8. All this in just a few months, after attending our Rise & Bloom Mastermind in April. Whatever your goals, or no matter how long you've been an entrepreneur, you can always learn new ways to be more productive. Kris's Productivity Hacks: Get a sense of how long it takes you to do the little things - showering, commuting, cooking - then figure out how much time you have left for the most important tasks. Value your time - could you create more time for yourself by delegating or hiring someone? Treat your time like your money - get the urgent things done first. Set your timer for social media time so you don't get sucked into the rabbit hole. Prioritize - figure out what needs to be done and when. Do you have to do it today or can it wait till the weekend? Go with the flow - recognize your schedule can get messed up, and learn to be flexible. Don't judge yourself on what you didn't get done. Develop a morning routine. But what about this time of year? The holidays are the perfect time to connect with loved ones and new people… but it's also easy to get overwhelmed by it all. Here are Kris and Leslie's tips for getting through the holidays while staying healthy and productive: Don't feel like you have to go to every party you're invited to - it's ok to turn down invitations to honor your self-care. Plan ahead - fuel with good food and choose the healthiest dishes at parties. Discover JOMO - the Joy Of Missing Out Always bring food! If you're hosting, don't worry about a signature cocktail, you can also offer non-alcoholic drinks. Bring a plant-based wine - our favorite is Le Grand Courtage sparkling wine Try Brown Brother's dessert wine - straight from Oz, but available in the US. A Delicious Holiday Detox? And of course, we all want to look and feel fabulous during the holidays. This is a time when it's even more important to detox, because we're eating a little more and drinking a few extra glasses of wine. No one wants to feel sluggish and bloated at this time.
