21 Powerful PR PRODUCTIVITY Tips

1 Don’t wait for that inspiring moment

• Remember, action creates enthusiasm. • Start where you are. • Use what you have. • Do what you can!

2 Revisit your goals every morning for 5 minutes

• Remember, big brave goals release energy. • Starting your day by visiting your goals gives your work a sense of purpose.

3 Don’t check email in the morning

• Check email in the afternoon. • Reserve your mornings for your best work. • In the morning, if you have to, time yourself and just glance over your inbox for a couple of minutes at most.

4 Take a break every 90 minutes

• Relax! • Working for hours at a stretch can reduce the quality of your effort.

Get things right the first time 5

• Have an eye for detail. • Getting it flawless first time saves you days of having to fix problems.

6 Eat a ‘Frog’ first thing in the morning

• According to author Brian Tracy, a ‘frog’ should be the most difficult thing in your To-Do list, the one you're most likely to procrastinate on. • If you do that task first, it will give you Energy and Momentum for the rest of the day. • But if you don't, it can drain your energy and you won't even know it.

7 Separate the ‘Vital Few’ from the ‘Trivial Many’

• Do the ‘Vital Few’ tasks in the morning when your energy is at its highest. • Do the ‘Trivial Many’ later in the day when you’re feeling sluggish.

Do daily meetings standing up 8

Everyone stands up. Each person answers: 1) Did you do what you were supposed to do yesterday? 2) What are you doing today? 3) Any roadblocks? Finish this in 15 minutes. It works!

9 Stop Multi-tasking

• When you multi-task you don't realize the time you waste switching from one task to another. • Do one task at a time and set a time frame to complete it. • You’ll get far more done with much less stress and anxiety.

Use your Commute time 10

• If you’re commuting 30 minutes each way every day – get this: you’re spending like 4 years on the road over a 40 year career. • Use that time to listen to inspirational audio-books. • Remember, the fastest way to double your income is to triple your rate of learning.

11 Drink more Water

• When you're dehydrated, you'll have far less energy. And get less done. • Water is a magic drink most of us have too little of. • Use hourly alarms, reminders, Post-It notes. • Keep a water bottle always at arm's length. • Develop a sense of 'water awareness'.

Do what you’re Best at 12

• Stop asking yourself "What am I good at? ” • Instead ask "What am I outstanding at? ” • Life is too short for you to keep doing things you are mediocre at. • Do what you’re best at. Outsource the rest.

13 Be a Contrarian

• Do things at off-peak hours. You'll avoid crowds and save precious time. • Beat the morning traffic and reach office early. • Shop on a Sunday afternoon instead of a Saturday evening. • Go to the movies on weekday evenings. • Hit the gym when it isn't at its busiest. • Get the drift?

14 Make a ‘Stop-Doing’ list

• This is sometimes more important than a To-Do list. • After making the ‘Stop-Doing’ list ask yourself: How much of my time am I spending everyday doing something from this list? • If the answer scares you, then stop doing what you need to stop doing!

Develop ‘Time Awareness’ 15

• You don’t have to track every minute of your time. • But you need to be able to catch yourself when you're spending way more time than the task deserves. • Being 'present' and having an eye on the watch once in a while works well and keeps it simple!

16 Take a Nap at work

• Research shows that the more hours you work continuously, the greater the toll on your performance. • You can greatly improve your productivity by taking a short nap during the day. • 20 odd minutes, an alarm clock and a quiet place in the office is all you need.

17 Celebrate any Progress

• The glass is half empty or half full depending on how you see it. • The same thing goes for progress. • You can either feel bad about the lack of enough progress or feel good about whatever you have accomplished so far. • You will be far more productive in a feel good state.

18 Get Lost!

• Don’t be so available to everyone. When you have to do some really significant work, head for a place within your office (or outside it) where no one can find you. • Turn off your devices, think, create and plan. • Zero interruptions mean pure focus and massive results.

19 De-clutter your Life

• Remember, mess creates stress. • A clean work desk energizes you.

20 Don’t say Yes to every request

• We all have a deep need to be liked and that causes us to say Yes to everything. • In the bargain we end up saying No to ourselves. • When you start saying No more often, your Yes will have much more meaning!

Use Waiting time effectively 21

• We lose productivity every day because ‘we only have 5 minutes’ before that meeting starts. • Regaining even 5 minutes every workday amounts to almost 22 hours a year! • Make a list of things you can do whenever you are forced to wait. • Time is an irreplaceable resource. Every minute counts!
