I mentioned last week that I have been listening to some Brian Tracy CD's about success secrets. One of his CD's is called Double Your Productivity and he has a list of 21 "secrets". Rather than limiting ourselves to his tips, I thought I would ask the professionals (that is you guys), the real people who have real results.
So, what tips do you use to increase (ideally double) your productivity?
I am a list person. A long time ago I was an avid Franklin Planner user. Although I no longer use a Franklin Planner, I do still use some of the methods that could double my productivity. When you purchase this particular brand of planner, it came with a book on how to use it, lol. One of the methods for the "to do list" section was to prioritize your list in importance.
Here is how it works:
So, you make your list and identify which things are "A" things, "B" things and "C" things. Brian Tracy uses a similar style, only his letters go out to "E" and each actually have a definition (I can add that later if anyone is interested).
Then, you go back through your list which now has all of your "things to do" labeled with a letter and prioritize those in a numbered order. Each number can only be used one in each lettered category. In the end, you should end up with a group of "A" things that are in a numbered order, a group of "B" things numbered, etc.
The idea is that the A1 is the thing that is the most important and should be done first. A things should get done before B things.
Most people agree that your list should be constructed the night before you plan to put your list into action.
So, again I ask YOU, "what tips do you use to increase (ideally double) your productivity?"
