welcome to 2012 it’s a new year and lets make the most of this new year.
whether you work for yourself or work for somebody we can all benefit from being more productive, so here are my top 12 tips for higher productivity.
Number one health. Everything hinges on as being healthy so it’s vital to take care of oneself enough, exercise frequently, sleep well, eating right. In order to best in the game of life we must take care of our health without our health we have nothing.
Number two make a schedule for the week. I suggest on a Sunday evening take an hour or so and write out your schedule for the week so that you know what you’re doing and you can keep your commitments.
Number three work in time blocks. Try concentrating really hard on one task at a time for about one half hours to two hours. you will find your focus increases when you eliminate all distractions and you will be more productive.
Number four eliminate distractions. What I mean by that is don’t get distracted by answering e-mails when you are working your timeblocks, don’t pick up the phone let it go to voicemail, don’t let a coworker start talking to you don’t get up and get coffee. Focus in on this time..
Number five learn to say no. Pretty simple learn to say no so you can continue on your path to success you don’t have to say yes to everything saying no is very powerful.
Number six avoid office energy drainers. Well we all deal with these, for example, people that come and start gossiping to you, office politics, she said he said,  they are things that really have nothing to do with the work at hand. But can certainly delay you into getting your work done.
Number seven steer clear of time zappers. time zappers are people or things that distract you. Checking your Facebook and spending way more time on Facebook then you should. Answering emails, surfing for best travel deals, online shopping etc….you get the picture,  anything that takes away time from what we doing.
Number eight concentrate on the most important not the most urgent. In other words first things first, you get the most important things out-of-the-way then you can attend to the everyday “urgent” things, people always say urgent urgent urgent but the truth is nothing is ever never that urgent and you must focus on the most important things that make you money.
Number nine recharge. Recharge recharge recharge. When you have focused your energy on doing important things and working in time blocks. You need to take time to recharge, we all have different ideas of what that might be, for me it definitely going outside, taking a walk at least 30 min, doing yoga stretches, making sure I rest for at least a couple of hours a day and making sure that I sleep well. We expect a lot of ourselves so recharging is number one important thing to do so that we can be our very best when focusing in on making money.
Number 10 invest in yourself. We want to be successful so if there’s opportunity to learn more about whatever trade we’re in, spend the money, learn to earn more. Don’t be shy when it comes to investing in yourself and your progress,  sometimes it’s money, sometimes it spending time with other people, mentors, going to seminars, further education, invest in yourself, it always pays off.
Number 11 don’t go it alone. Find people that are like-minded people that can be mentors or accountability partners. Find support for what ever your journey is
And finally number 12 enjoy the journey yes please enjoy the journey, it’s the only one we have.
Thank you for reading, peace, love and happiness and true prosperity

“If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else”- Lawrence Peter.
I really like this quote, helps to remind me to remember to keep my eye on the prize and my focus on that. I know where I am going, how I’m going to do it and when. I read my plan aloud everyday once in the morning and before going to bed every night. I have a plan-do you?
If you need help try reading Think and Grow Rich- Napoleon Hill, timeless classic.
