When we learn to persuade, we have the added bonus of being able to use our persuasion skills on ourselves. We are able to naturally accomplish anything when we can self-persuade. When we set the stage for productivity, we increase our odds of success incredibly. There are five simple, strategic, practical, yet sometimes elusive things we can do to this end. Some may seem elusive, but with persistence comes progress. The first one is easy (though sometimes time constraints don't allow for it), and that is getting enough sleep. Sleep allows our brains and cells to recharge, repairing, rejuvenating and cleansing our minds and bodies. In terms of maximizing your productivity, think about your own internal rhythms and when you get the most done. Are you an 'early to bed, early to rise' full of energy in the mornings type of person? If so, try adding ten or twenty minutes to your morning by going to sleep a little earlier. Conversely, if you're a night owl, determine when you are at your peak in terms of getting things done. The next two bits of advice may seem as if they'll take up a lot of time, but I assure you, the energy and vibrancy you will get in exchange for that investment of time will more than make up for it in all aspects of your life. Exercise and proper nutrition. Sure, easier said than done. I get that. I know junk food is delicious. I know it's hard to get up and exercise. But the combination of these two things will give you a huge array of benefits, from better sleep (!) to a better quality of life. Creating routines help us with both starting a new, healthy habit and eliminating an old, unhelpful habit. We achieve success as a result of our intention. Ruts are have a negative frame attached to them and I'm not suggesting we all get ourselves in ruts where we can't see the forest for the trees, however I am suggesting that we learn to do certain things without thinking, on autopilot--like taking your vitamins or starting the day out with a light and sound session or working on your universes or expressing gratitude for the good things that come to us. These are positive routines that have a wonderful impact on us. And lastly, you must create a stress free environment especially if your work requires a certain amount of stress. If you have constant deadlines or are rushing from meeting to meeting, you have got to make sure there are places in your life when you can decompress. Sleep is not enough. Try taking up a hobby or learn to meditate or pray or spend some quiet time in nature, playing golf -- whatever pleases you -- in order to unwind. Incorporating these five steps into your life will boost your productivity, not to mention your health, well being, and peace of mind.
