I hope last weeks advise was helpful, this week I give you specific ways to become more productive and finish on time the projects you have set for this year:
- 5 days a week 8 hours per day
It may sound too little but our system is not made to work every single day or to focus on the same thing the whole day.
When you run your own business there's always more work around the corner and with endless things that you can do, sometimes it's difficult to stop working when there is no one to tell you the work day is over.
You can deal with this by setting a specific time to start and stop working, then making a point to appreciate how much you have done during the day. And if you finish early, enjoy your productivity.
- Calendar Management
If you are self-employed, your calendar can be your best friend. Having a clear picture of what you need to accomplish each day, week and month will save you so much time in the long run.
I like to create a weekly schedule with each day broken down by project, appointment and activity
- Take a lunch break.
This one is simple: eating lunch at your desk is not productive. Whether you take 15 minutes or an hour and half, it's so important to take a complete break from your desk and work.
- Your area
Whether you work from a home office or your laptop on the kitchen table, it's important that your workspace helps you feel energized, happy and focused. You have the luxury of not working from a cubicle so take advantage of it!
Surround yourself with things that make you happy like family photos or fresh flowers. Having a clean desk feels like cleaning your brain, and it can do wonders for your productivity.
See you next week!
