21 Simple Tricks For Boosting Productivity (Part 1)
A couple of years back; I had a really hard time getting things done. I would wake up at random times, slouch on the sofa for hours and maybe work 2-4 hours in a single day. The truth is soon after I realized just how much I was “slacking”, I decided to work on my productivity…
Two months down the line…
I was working a good 8 hours a day barely yielding 2 hours of results. Most people do it… They work for 8+ hours, yet they produce what they could in 1 to 2 hours of SOLID work. What’s the main culprit?
…Distractions
So I put together 21 simple tricks for boosting productivity:
- Plan Your Day
- Time Every Task With A Timer
- Kill Distractions
- Complete Boring Jobs In The Morning
- Cut Off Internet
- Check Emails Twice A Day
- Take A Stroll
- Blog
- Plan Your Meals For A Week
- Exercise
- Get An Office
- Organize Your Stuff
In Prosperity,

I agree except that I couldn’t plan my meals for a week. I have no idea what I’m going to want to eat tomorrow, let alone a week from now.

I still struggle with this. But I’m working on it.

I agree with everything except doing the boring stuff in the morning. I use my mornings when I am refreshed and full of new energy to create or do the things that inspire me. That is where I want my strongest energy to go! So for me, I focus on art, music, and morning walks with nature! However, everyone is different and you have to find what works best for you and this post is full of absolutely wonderful ways to boost your production. Thanks for sharing David! 🙂
