Episode 62 - How to have a productive day
Show Notes

The day is 24 hours, however, between our work and personal routine, we only have a few hours a day for our enjoyment.

No matter how hard we work, we always have a task left out. It can be due to a lack of organization, an emergency that happened, or because we decided to prioritize more important tasks.

In this solo episode, I will teach you how prioritizing your tasks can help you have a more productive day and not feel guilty for not doing all the tasks in your schedule.

Grab your calendar, take notes and start applying these 10 tips I have for you. Trust me, it's worth it.

Let's get started.


EPISODES HIGHLIGHTS
[1:00] Start prioritizing.
Knowing how to prioritize is simple, but not everything is about prioritizing work. Learn to prioritize the things that will make us feel we had a full and productive day.

[8:20] Use a physical calendar.
Call me old school if you want, but nothing is better than a physical calendar. Having a physical calendar will allow us to easily identify the available time we have during the week.

[12:55] Create a morning routine.
This is the best thing we can do to activate our brains and make us aware of what comes in the day.

[15:46] List three things you want to prioritize.
Make a list of things you must do during the day, starting with the most important. Don't be shy, it can be more than 3.

[17:55] Be ok with the stuff you can't do.
When we do not manage to accomplish all the tasks we want in the day, it is normal to feel frustrated or guilty. However, it is not good for our mental health to have those feelings. Remember, you're doing your best.

[20:51] Outsource your tasks.
Whether it's hiring help to clean your home or someone to help you organize your company, outsourcing your task is a good idea, it will give you many extra hours during the day to carry out other activities.

[23:53] Plan the night before.
It is not just organization, it is also planning. Remember that planning takes time, so it is important to do it the night before so you take advantage of the hours of the next day.

[25:17] Find a support system.
Not everything is physical support, emotional support is also important. Find someone who gives you words of encouragement and helps you make decisions.

[32:02] Taking care of your health is essential.
You would think that taking care of your health has nothing to do with productivity, but if you are not healthy, you can't do much.

[34:41] Learn when to stop.
For the eagerness to finish things, we can end up getting sick. When your body or mind can't continue, take a break.
