We are just over a month into the New Year, how is your progress coming along? I hope you aren’t dropping the ball and sliding back into routines that aren’t taking you towards your goals.

These days a lot of my work revolves around being on a computer I have recently become more conscious to the fact that I have been falling into the trap of doing busy work instead of productive work.

One of my goals this year is to be more productive, to acquire the art of getting more done, with less effort.

We all only have the same 24 hours in a day, time is our most precious commodity learning how to be more productive and using your time wisely is one of the most important skills to acquire.

Not only to allow you to get more things done but to have more time available to do whatever you want, to do the things that make you happy.

Over the last few weeks I have been observing what has be distracting me from being more productive, besides the somewhat lack of motivation and focus. I found uncovered 3 major distractions that I plan on working on over the coming months and year.

1.) Checking Email 45K Times A Day – I have noticed email has been a big time bandit. I notice I have it open consistently. As soon as a new message is there I pick it up in minutes, interrupting my focus as I feel compelled to open it.

Action steps: I have decided to set specific times during the day when I will read and reply to emails. For the first week I am only going check once in the morning again in the afternoon, and once more at night. After the first week of 2 I plan on cutting this down to only twice a day and by the end of the month I only want to check once a day.

2.) Goofing Off On Facebook – Another big distraction I have noticed recently has been Facebook, I never really knew how much time I was wasting goofing off on facebook until I started to record it. Sure I was having fun and there is nothing wrong with that, I like staying in contact with my friends and doing a bit of social networking can go along way but all in moderation.

Action Steps: I am simply just going to be discipline on this one, using will power. To help me stay motivated and productive I have redefined WHY I am going after my goals and WHAT it will mean to me to achieve my goal. I am adding constant reminders to my consciousness to keep me focused and on track, like pictures, videos, words, etc.

3.) Clean Home – I heard once that the state of your bedroom or your car is a reflection of yourself and your thoughts. Meaning if you live in trash them your thoughts and consciousness is in a mess, If you have clutter then your mind is usually full of clutter too. Is this true…I have no idea, but somewhere along the road I have picked up this belief which I feel it serves me well, so it is true for me.

Action Steps: By keeping a clear mind and fit body I am planning this is cause a good side effect to keep the house clean and intact. I am also going to adopt the mind set of being a celebrity, meaning that wherever they go, whatever they do a celebrity has to assume someone is watching and possibly taking photos to publish in a magazine. By keeping this mindset I am planning this will keep my mind sharp on appearances, etc.

I will keep you posted on my progress.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and feedback about what else I can implement to be more productive this year, thanking you in advance.
