Moreno’s Top Ten Tips for Super Productivity"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ted A. Moreno<\/a>, Certified Hypnotherapist and Success Coach, shares his top ten tips for super productivity.<\/p>\n

1. Start the day centered and grounded.<\/strong> Jim Rohn said \u201cEither you run the day, or the day runs you.\u201d How you start the day will affect how your day goes. If you wake up and you are already rushing around and running late, the day is running you. Give yourself some space to be prepared mentally and feel super\u00a0in the morning, even if it means getting up earlier to exercise, read or meditate.<\/p>\n

2. Write down your goals the night before.<\/strong> Make your to do list the night before. Plan to start the next day with the most important things that will make the biggest difference, or start with the hardest. This way, you move into the day with momentum and the feeling of productivity and being super!<\/p>\n

3. Keep yourself fed and watered.<\/strong> I have an avocado tree and a tangerine tree in my back yard. If I don\u2019t water them and feed them, they don\u2019t produce. Same with you.<\/p>\n

4. Have a routine or a system.<\/strong> Develop a habit of productivity by using a system that works for you. It might include a Franklin Covey type planner, Outlook tasks, or one of the many online tools available. I use the Pomodoro Technique and a daily calendar sheet with my list that I carry around in my shirt pocket. Not very high tech but it super works.<\/p>\n

5. Prioritize tasks.<\/strong> Some days you are not going to be able to do it all. Prioritization maximizes your productivity and focus so that you get the most super important stuff done. Roll the non-essential stuff over to another day.<\/p>\n

6. Pay someone to do those things that are not worth your time.<\/strong> What can you take off of your plate by paying someone else to do that gets paid less per hour than you do? For 10 bucks a week, my super gardener does in 45 minutes what it used to take me 3 hours to do.<\/p>\n

7. Work simultaneously instead of sequentially.<\/strong> Instead of working on something\u00a0 for four hours, work on it for an hour and half, then another project for an hour,\u00a0 then another for an hour or so.\u00a0 You will be moving a number of projects forward at the same time. Waiting to start the next one until the current one is done is a super productivity killer.<\/p>\n

8. Get rid of distractions.<\/strong> Turn off email, Facebook and silence your phone while you are working on a task. These are the biggest time vampires that will suck the productivity out of you. Work for an hour, then take 15 minutes to return calls or email. One guy I know has a phone message: \u201cI return calls between 4 and 6 pm,\u201d thus setting the expectations for his callers as to when their call will be returned. Guard your time like the super precious asset it is.<\/p>\n

9. Be ok with failure.<\/strong> Dan Kennedy says \u201cSuccess is cooked up in a messy kitchen.\u201d Don\u2019t wait for conditions to be super, or perfect, or for your desk to be organized or the moon to be full. Just start and keep moving forward. Things might get screwed up, you may need to scramble, improvise, or start over. Sometimes that\u2019s what it looks like.<\/p>\n

10. Take a break.<\/strong> Being super productive doesn\u2019t mean killing yourself or not spending time with loved ones. Productivity doesn\u2019t necessarily mean struggle either. Play some music, take a walk, call a friend, eat some ice cream, then get back to your project refreshed, renewed and feeling super good!<\/p>\n
