Productivity and Success

“Each minute is a little thing, and yet, with respect to our personal productivity, to manage the minute is the secret of success.” ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin

How successful you are, can often be equated to how productive you are. It certainly isn’t the only factor to success. But let’s be real here… if you aren’t productive, you probably aren’t going to get far in your quest for success and you’re definitely not going to get there very fast. Of course, it’s important to remember that just being busy, marking things off a to-do list, it isn’t enough.

The tasks and actions you choose to focus on need to be in alignment with your ultimate goals in order for that productivity to really be of value. Anything otherwise, is just a distraction or detour from your true path to your desired life.

Sadly though, most people struggle with consistent, high levels of productivity. (And remember if we are making the parallel here that means they are likely struggling to have consistent, high levels of success.)

Your level of productivity can be affected by such factors as: your level of clarity, your level of energy and your level of courage.

Likewise, your level of productivity can also be sabotaged by bad habits such as: lack of self-discipline, allowing distractions, procrastination and multi-tasking to name a few.

So over the next several weeks, I’ll be sharing more about the key factors to being highly productive and helping you to overcome the traps that might be getting in your way of being more productive. Both so that you can have more tools and a better strategy to stay consistently productive and more successful.

For now, let me leave you with these questions to ponder… On a scale of 1-10, how productive are you on a regular basis? What do you think is attributing to that score? And what would be one thing you could start doing immediately to improve it?

Next week, I’ll be sharing what I think is the first step to being more productive. So be sure you’re subscribed to my emails, to be notified right away when the next blog post is published.
