4.7   Actually Do These For 30 Days

Productivity hack no.47 from '60 Ways to Hurray! by Ralph Varcoe.

Here’s the challenge to you. Don’t just read these productivity hacks, nod and think “Yes, some of that sounds quite sensible. I’ll try to get to some of these sometime.” That’ll get you nowhere.

My challenge to you is to do or schedule the use of a few (or more) of these tips right now.

Put your cup of coffee down and get that pad and pen out to write everything down. Write your lists and prioritise them. List all the distractions you suffer from on a daily basis and think about the quick wins that you can easily eliminate. Write your goals down and make them SMART. Schedule a one-to-one with yourself at the end of the week, and put a monthly recurring appointment in your calendar for a monthly performance review. Call your friend and tell them about the new you and what you’re planning, no, GOING to do.

Do some of these for 30 days consistently. And make them part of your normal routine. In no time at all you’ll do many of them out of force of habit.

But you need to start. Just start. With any of the 67 tips. It really doesn’t matter where.
