5 Things you can do to Improve your productivity in the New Year

Published: Wed, 01/04/23

Aloha Friends,

How was your new year? Did you think of some intentions for 2023? I don’t believe in resolutions. I like to call them INTENTIONS! I made quite a few. In fact they are staring at me on a clipboard as I type this newsletter. I posted my NEW YEAR greetings on social media and got a huge response. It was lovely to hear from friends. Here’s what I posted:

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm happy I'm alive and living my best life and I hope to connect with each of you as the year rolls along. In 2023 , we have to remember to be kind, be happy and appreciate all we have! No winging, no negativity, keep your chin up and carry on! Follow me on Insta and I'll follow you!

That’s what lies ahead of us in 2023. Our future!

I like to call myself a serial entrepreneur because when I work with my clients and help them be more productive and accomplish their goals, it warms my heart. It makes me feel good that my service to others matter.

Too often we set new goals when we kick off a new year with the intention to make it our best year yet, but then we get bogged down in overwhelm, stress and procrastination. So we need to have some tricks up our sleeve to improve our productivity, even if we just do ONE THING.

Here are 5 Things I do to improve my productivity. I don’t do them ALL the time but they are always part of my planning and daily activities.

#1 Declutter your desk at the end of the day! This is something I decided to do half way through last year. It made such a difference for me. Just getting up in the morning and seeing my desk looking neater, helped me start the day feeling happy.

#2 Journal your day before bed. Another ritual I started last year. It’s a quick review of my day with some highlights. I only spend 5 to 10 minutes because I journal in depth every morning. Reflecting on the day’s events helps me feel like I’m moving forward. This includes my business and my personal life.

#3 Add exercise to your daily routine. You all know I’m a big believer in “walking” and I try to walk at least 4 times a week early at 6:00 am. If it’s raining, I simply get on my stationery bike in my office. But I believe this is one of the healthiest things you can do for a productive life. Many people “say” they are going to exercise but when you actually “do it” you’ll feel the results.

#4 Read 10 pages a day. For me, this is usually reading a business book. My last blog post I shared the 10 Best Books I read last year.

I count out the 10 pages and put a marker and then if I feel like reading more, I do. But I know reading 10 pages a day, I’ll finish the book. Unless, of course, I don’t like the book. There were a couple of those this year. What about you? How many pages do you read in a book?

#5 Stay consistent as much as I can. I always believe consistent actions bring results. The most CONSISTENT ACTION for me is my Sunday Planning. This is what I teach in my 2023 Planner system. It’s important to have a consistency plan that works for you. And one that you can keep up with. I say…

PLANNING BUILDS YOUR CONFIDENCE

PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVES YOUR PERFORMANCE.
