To increase your productivity, remember that you want to get things done that add value to your life in some way in a timely manner.
You can spend a lot of time doing things that add no value to your life, to other people’s lives, and are just busy makers, or you can plan your week to be more productive and useful than you ever thought.
1. Develop Your Plan
Look at the things you need to do this week, add to it based on your goals and objectives for the week, remembering to list each action that needs to be taken for the final result so that you don’t get caught up in a bottleneck or roadblock.
2. Be Intentional With Your Time
As you look at your plans, goals, and objectives now, you need to translate it into a chronological schedule that helps you break down tasks into small chunks. Schedule everything realistically.
3. Check Your Schedule Before Saying Yes
Whenever someone comes to you with new things to add to your schedule, don’t say yes automatically.
First, tell them you’ll check your calendar.
When you want to get more done in a day, the best thing you have going for you is a good plan based on smart goals, but you can do better by removing distractions and setting and sticking to deadlines.

Then check your schedule but also check your mind to find out if you really want to do it or not.
Only say yes if you can fit it in even if you think you want to do it.
4. Delegate and Outsource
When you look at your task list, note the things that someone else can do.
Turn those tasks over to the other people who can do them.
If you want to pay someone to do things, that’s also an option.
Just find someone else who is good at the job and let them do it.
5. Remember to Take Care of You
In order to be productive, you need to eat right, stay hydrated, sleep enough, and take care of yourself.
When you are healthy, mentally, and physically, it’s a lot easier to get more done without stress.
Getting more done this week simply means that you need to create a plan that you can follow to get everything done that you want to get done.
The truth is, we all have the same 24 hours in each day, but it’s in HOW we use those same 24 hours that determine each individual’s level of success.
