I love learning new ways to be productive and perform at higher levels. For me, it’s how much ROI can I get out of the time I’ve been provided each day. A few productivity hacks that make a big difference in my day include:

1. Eliminate distractions - I recently removed all social media from my phone. Not saying it will stay like that forever, but I needed to take a break as it was too easy to waste a few minutes here and there looking at social media. Instead, I have dedicated devices for entertainment such as my iPad.
2. Schedule habits - I find time blocking super helpful and then I stay committed to the time I schedule. I also use a pomodoro counter to get ultra focused to take on tasks.
3. Leverage systems - For everything I want a meaningful outcome in life, I have systems. A system for my health and fitness, a system for my business, system for my faith, everything. Once you have a system that you know works, just follow it consistently.
4. Plan your day the night before - My nighttime routine involves planning the following day. I schedule the big rocks first and work all the smaller less important things around them. If I don’t have a plan my day and everyone else tends to run me. I always want to be in the driver seat when it comes to my time.
5. Morning routine - Having a morning routine gets my day going on the right path. My morning routine includes waking up the same time, doing some reading, reading my grateful list, morning cup of coffee, morning exercise and quiet time to get renewed and refocused on what’s most important.

We can be successful and win in life, but it requires being intentional with our time and making the most of it.
