Summary
What do you think of when you think of productivity?
Remember last week when I said that when I am organized I feel like I can make forward progress on my goals and projects.
For me productivity means doing MORE usually in LESS time or with less resistance.
If you break down the 3 steps to getting organized:
- Decluttering = Removing.
- Organizing = Rearranging.
- Increasing Productivity = Moving forward faster.
Let's look specifically at Increasing Productivity. Productivity comes from thinking and planning. Every minute you spend planning SAVES 4-5 minutes in executing your plan.
Planning = TIME SAVED.
While it may be hard to find time to plan your day, your meals or your vacation, you KNOW that when you do - everything goes easier and faster.
Once again I have one caution... to be most effective, you need to have decluttered and organized the area you want to increase productivity in. These steps do need to be done in order.
5 Steps to Increased Productivity.
- Use the organized system.
- Plan.
- Refine and reorder.
- Evaluate / maintain.
- Execute.
