To realize your dreams and chart the path toward your destiny, there are simple strategies to help you get there with ease and grace. Let's explore them here so you can be more productive and less busy on the way to your destination.

How To Be More Productive & Less Busy

I remember when I felt soooo busy – schooling part-time and working full time was one thing, but then starting your own business was a whole other ball game.

I would get so frustrated because I was working longer than I used to in corporate, I was working harder, my mind was just full of ideas and I would get distracted so easily.

I was trying to do it all, so that when anyone would ask me – hey how’s that business of yours going? I’d be able to say oh great, super busy.

And I was. I was literally in front of my computer for 12 to 14 hours a day trying to absorb as much as I could, create a website, create my product, alllll the things I was getting stressed, I was getting irritable, and I could tell I was on my way into burnout land.

And then it happened…

I got sciatica. Has anyone ever had this? I literally couldn’t walk, I was in so much pain and had to go to the hospital to get an injection. It was terrible. I hadn’t had this kind of hip pain ever in my life!

This is not the life or business I wanted to create! I realized I had fallen into old habits and needed to change my ways if I wanted to actually create time freedom and financial freedom.

The Plan

So I started working with a business coach and learned everything about not just creating an online business, but running a business these are two different things.

There was a lot of retraining of habits and reflection on what I was actually doing – we get so caught up in the doing sometimes that we forget about the being.

Remember Wellness is a state of being! It’s an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.

The Transformation

I started implementing everything from planning to mindset, to goal setting, to managing my energy so that I could boost my productivity and stop feeling so busy.

My stress levels were down and I was able to make sure that I was working on the right things.

So, let me give you 3 tips that you can use right now to help you work less and be more productive and then I have a special gift for you at the end.

Tip #1 Understand what you want to achieve

I can’t tell you how many people I talk to that want to change, that want success, but they don’t have a clear idea of what they want to achieve.

I actually used to hate getting that question since grade school. I always looked at the job options and was never really thrilled because I used to get administrative/office job suitability.

And in job interviews, I hated having to answer: so where are you going to be in 5 years?

But actually, I’ve really grasped the fact that you are in charge of your world.

Life is truly what you make it, so if you don’t make plans, it shouldn’t be a surprise when you don’t end up where you want to be.

Tip #2 Have a deadline

In Stephen Covey’s book – 7 habits of highly effective people, he makes note of starting with the end in mind as one of the 7 habits.

People spend their whole lives waiting for the perfect moment, but they don’t realize that it’s the certainty of where you’re going and the action you take that is going to get you to where you want to go.

We all say that we don’t have time or we don’t have money, or we don’t have ‘x’ yet this is a victim mentality and we need to get out of it! We also say things like: I’m too busy and this is a worker mentality that we need to get out of!

We need to get into winner mode team! BE the person you need to be to be able to do what you want to do.

I am organized, I am bold, I am courageous, I am confident this will get you so much farther than saying I am busy, I don’t have time, I have no money because you’re not focused on the right things.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!

Tip #3 Make sure your goals are realistic and relevant to what you want to achieve.

There is no sense in doing something if it’s not going to help you or your business progress towards your goals.

There is no sense in working towards a goal that is just not realistic – you’re setting yourself up for failure. Why do that to yourself?

Vision is the destination, strategy is the pathway there, and you are the key to making it happen.

You don’t have to do everything all at once, and you don’t have to wait until it’s perfect to move forward. You just have to be clear on what you want and have clear SMART goals – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, timely.

In Summary…

You are in charge of your own destiny – no one is going to do that for you. The three things you can do to feel more productive and less busy are:

#1 Understand what you want to achieve

#2 Set Timelines

#3 Make sure your goals are realistic and relevant
