Productivity Hacks That Are an Entrepreneurial Goldmine
Simplify Your Goals
Think about a big goal you want to achieve this year. It may be overwhelming but break your goal down into daily action items, and then focus all of your energy into completing each of those action items one by one until you have achieved your overall goal. Keep it simple, focus on what you can do daily, and you can achieve what feels impossible.
Set Specific Check-In Times for Email
Email can become a black hole, so schedule time with yourself when you will check in throughout the day. And set a timer on your phone to go off after you’ve spent 15-30 minutes responding to messages. This will keep you focused on the task at hand and maximize your efficiency.
Meditate Every Day
Whether you use an app or go it on your own, meditation can be a massive help in hacking your productivity. Spend 15-20 minutes each day grounding yourself, finding your inner peace, and eliminating all negativity and noise from your life. Then get ready to tackle your day in a more confident, inner zen type of way.
Listen to Podcasts
If you have a commute to work, podcasts are perfect to fill up the time to and from the office. Otherwise, using your lunch break to pack your brain with new knowledge is a great way decompress but still be productive. Find ones around your favorite types of content, whether you like news, politics, social media or interviews. There is something in the podcast space for everyone to consume and you are guaranteed to grow your knowledge in any field you choose to start listening to. Why not make listening to podcasts part of your evening ritual before you go to sleep?
