How I skyrocketed my Productivity

I want to share some tips with you to skyrocket your productivity. I will be honest, I don't apply all of these every time, but if I do, I get done more in 1 week than others do in 2 months. (And sorry for any mistakes, english is not my native language)

1. Get Up Early.
This is probably the most effective of these tips. This is not theory. When I get up early I get much much more things done. On days when I get up late, I get done nothing or very little. Get up early and you will have more energy and more motivation.

Note, this doesn't mean that you go to bed late at 2am, sleep 3 hours and get up at 5am. Most people should sleep 6-8 hours per day. Personally I go to bed 10-11 and get up 6-7. Going to bed so early is not acceptable for many, but just try this for 1-2 weeks, and if you don't like it, you can switch to your old habits again.

Also one tip that I learned from Steve Pavlina (the Personal Development God): Go to bed when you are tired, and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends. Your body will adapt to your new pattern and you will get more energy over time.


2. Exercise 3-5 times per week.
Exercise 3-5 times per week, or better daily. The most effective exercise for me is aerobic exercise in the morning. I jog 20-30 minutes every second day in the morning. You will get a productive state and also will be much happier . If you are down or stuck, go for a jog and you will feel much better. Your brain will work faster too.


3. Drink tea instead of coffee.
Drink black or green tea. It will give you energy over a longer time period. I drink one cup in the morning and I have increased energy for 6-7 hours after my drink.


4. Set goals and Plan your time.
Set realistic and specific goals. Don't say "I want to make more money."
Say "I want to make $1000 per month". Also establish a definite date for achieving your goal. Make a plan and list the steps that are required. Follow this plan and be prepared to take massive action. Don't get discouraged by failures, learn from mistakes, have persistence and follow your plan rigorously, stick to it for at least 60 days, don't jump from system to system. That will get you nowhere. And don't give up!

Also don't let procrastination become your enemy. You should take breaks every 1-2 hours of work. Start small and focus on one task at a time. Don't multitask. Work for at least 30 minutes on a task. Don't do anything else in this time, don't surf forums, don't check email, don't check your clickbank account. You can do all this after your 30 minutes of work.
Try to do something daily to stay in motion. Work at least 1 hour every day on your business, so you make progress every day. This is 7 hours per week. That is more work than 90% of the people do here in 1 week cause they mostly read the forums, buy wsos after wsos, read books, socialize,....Don't get into that trap, take real action, like writing articles, doing niche research, building your website, building backlinks. This is real action that will get you forward. Preferably do 50% reading and 50% taking action on that.


5. Lift your moods.
Work on your mindset daily to achieve your goals. Visualize your end goal as already accomplished. See your business in front of you, the product, the sales letter, your search engine rankings, the money in your clickbank account that rises daily, you get the idea. Affirm your goal to yourself. Do this 3 times a day, the most important times are before you go to bed and after you get up in the morning. Do this and you will notice significant results in 2 weeks, you will also have more motivation.


That's it. Just note that reading alone will not make your more productive or get you closer to your goals. You can read as much as you want, for hours, weeks, months or years. You will not make progress until you apply your knowledge. Please begin applying your knowledge and you will make money faster than you every thought possible, I guarantee you that.
What are you waiting for? Make a plan and take action. If that's too hard for you, then take action for just 10 minutes every day. Just 10 minutes a day on your plan is enough to make progress. Really stop reading now and take 10 minutes of action.
