Hi,
..... Having enough quality sleep is vital if you want to stay alert and be more productive.
..... How often do you avoid the warning signs of fatigue and force yourself to carry on working yet not achieve much at all?
Brett's Story
..... When Brett initially contacted me, he was frustrated with the results he was achieving in his business. He knew he could easily increase his income and overcome the many challenges he was experiencing if only he could get organised.
..... As a financial advisor he had plenty of work, yet he couldn't handle the workload. There was too much to do and not enough time. Because of his lack of time there were also problems with his staff.
..... After working out what his goals were, the first area we addressed was his time management.
..... Brett wasted 50% of his day due to his time management issues and on top of that we discovered something else which contributed to his timewasting activities. Brett was going to bed late at night (watching too much TV) and waking up late in the morning.
..... Therefore his working day commenced later and unfortunately for Brett, the mornings were his most productive times. Combining all these factors plus the fact that Brett wasn't exercising and eating healthily made him feel sluggish.
..... Although he was ‘present' at work he wasn't doing much.
..... Over time Brett's habits changed. Now that he knew exactly what the problems were, a plan was put in place and most importantly, action was taken to turn Brett's situation around.
..... Going to bed earlier, waking up in the morning and getting regular exercise, changing his eating habits all contributed to his increased productivity. He felt more alert, focussed and confident… and he increased his profitability substantially.
The Final Word
..... Most business owners are under the misconception that all they need to do is hire another person and then they will be better organised and get more done.
..... As you can see there are many factors involved in increasing your productivity and it starts with you.
..... So, if you're feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and snowed under in your business and your life, get more sleep, look after your health and well-being and learn how to get yourself organised first.
Have a great week.
