Fourteen dirty little secrets that will quadruple your productivity (I’m not even joking)
A major lesson for me in my 39 years: it shouldn’t take drastic change to make a huge impact.
I wasn’t always productive, and I’d often go weeks sulking and watching crap on tv.
These tips turned my creative life around.
Now I can’t stop…
Meditate for a minute before starting any work.
Focus on your breath. Enjoy the sensations of being there, free of any pressure to perform.
Allow your mind to still like particles floating to the bottom of a jar of water.
From a place of calm, you have a crucial starter’s advantage. Now you’re a freaking zen monk, and it’s not even 8am.
This is where creativity and energy flourish.
Stop being a little bitch.
Most of us are unproductive because we’re complaining to ourselves in the dim theatre of our minds about how ‘hard everything is.’
Stop whining, and stop moaning.
Find your inner badass who’s been standing there for close to a year sharpening his blade waiting for you to locate your nuts.
