EPISODE #039
What if I told you that productivity has nothing to do with how many hours you work or how many items you cross off your to-do list? And that it’s very possible to cross 20 items or 1 item off your to-do list and be equally productive? Here’s the thing that most people don’t realize… true productivity has less to do with the number of hours you work or the number of tasks you complete and much more to do with the mindset, clarity and energy you bring to your work. When you understand that piece, you will be absolutely clear on the best way to move the needle in your business and life. Then, rather than trying to be more productive, you get to actually go out and enjoy the experience of being productive. That’s when your productivity starts to skyrocket and take off.
In today’s episode, I share tactics for increasing your productivity from the split second your alarm goes off in the morning. You will learn how to raise your personal productivity so it creates the biggest impact. I’ll share a few of the mistakes we see people make when it comes to productivity, and how to set up a to-do list that you can rock easily and seamlessly with energy and joy.

Timestamps
[2:28] Define what it feels like to win each day. Even just waking up and having the chance to experience your day is a win. The meetings you get to have, the phone calls you get to make, all of it is a win.
[4:00] When we feel as though we need to get everything on our to-do list done in order to feel happy and accomplished, we are left with little time for being mindful about why we are actually doing these things in the first place.
[4:48] How you feel and what you get done have nothing to do with each other.
[7:39] Most people define how they win through action, but really it’s through experience.
[9:48] Your worth is not tied to your productivity.
[16:37] The perfect morning routine is the one that you decide is right for you. It can change over time, and it’s important that the routine gives you energy and clarity to win more throughout the day.
[21:04] There is a difference between being busy and being productive. When you are operating in high energy, things fall in line and the “busy” part becomes less important.
[25:25] Stop hitting the snooze! Set your alarm for the time that will allow you to do the things that give you joy and clarity. Wake up without pressing snooze, and you will save yourself time and energy by just moving into action.
[31:36] When we are personally productive, we demonstrate to the people around us what it really looks like to be accountable over our time, growth, and energy.
[38:02] When you are operating from a place of higher productivity in business, you don’t need to keep hiring people to get more work done all the time because everyone is operating at a high level of productivity… and you may even need fewer people than you think to get it all done.
