Peak Productivity
Be true to yourself for peak productivity!
Know your:
IDEAL WORKTIME:
Are you most productive early in the morning, the afternoon, or evening?
Schedule your focused workblocks during those times & remove distractions too!
MOTIVATORS:
What things motivate you to work?
Reward yourself with that chocolate button after 20 minutes of focused work! Or give yourself a stretch break & a granola bar after replying to those emails. Bribe yourself, baby!
MOOD:
Are you inspired, curious, and motivated? Or are you feeling drained, distracted, or sad?
Whatever your mood, be honest with your capability to work. You may work twice as fast & three times as effective if you work when you're in the right mental state.
PRIORITIES:
What are your highest priorities?
Take a little time to distill what is the most important to you today, this week, and this month! Hint: Look at our post from earlier this month on Task Batching; it has practical hints on prioritizing!
NEEDED SLEEP TIME:
Necessary sleep time is definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach. 7-8 hours is the general consensus for needed sleep. Yet my husband functions great after 6 hours of sleep, and I need a solid eight for working efficiently. So, it pays to know your "sleep number"!
I’m Sara! Wife, mom, entrepreneur, and serial dreamer. I’m happily “adulting”, even though my brain operates like a toddler on espresso. But… simplifying my home, priorities, and routines has allowed me to chase this dream (hello blog-land!). So thanks for stopping by! And if you love giant bernedoodles, landscape design, and dark chocolate, well… I’m pretty sure we just became besties.
