Day 11: Be productive, right now
Productivity Action Day 11.
Let’s start off saying congratulations. You are on to Productivity Action Day 11 of your 3 TOP Steps for Productivity.
Friday was Productivity Action Day 10 and you did your check-in with where you are now. You asked some questions, got some answers.
What I have found to happen at this point in the system is you have started to realize that you are doing way too much.
You see where you are sabotaging your efforts and where there is room for improvement.
The action for today is simple, yet not so easy to do.
Your Mission Possible for Productivity Action Day 11, if you so choose to accept it is to:
Do ONE Thing
Now I know you may roll your eyes.
I did. My thought was “I can’t possibly do just ONE thing”. There are so many things to do, how can I do just one?
Growing up, my father, who was a masterful educational teacher, told me: “Kimberly (yes, that’s what my parents called me when something important was to happen, or I was getting into trouble =), do one thing at a time.”
Truthfully, I never took that to heart. And so that’s probably why I struggled so long in my life and in my business. I always was doing 10 things at a time.
One thing at a time does equal success
This one action took me a long time to get. And it does take some of my clients a long time to get. When we get it, wow! It’s a game changer.
From Productivity Action Day 10 you were to answer several questions and then create a list of actions and ways of behaving in order for you to excel at your productivity.
So your action today is to look over those answers and choose ONE thing to improve on for this week.
Side note: it takes longer than a week to see significant improvements, however, my guess is you will struggle with just focusing on this ONE thing right now. So let’s get set up for success and start slow.
You can (and I hope you will) carry it over into the follow weeks until your one thing is complete. And then you can move on to other important actions.
The One Thing Book
While this is one small action I’m giving you to complete. It’s really a part of a bigger equation. One that, in full disclosure, I work with extensively with my private coaching clients and groups.
I wanted to give you a phenomenal resource that I know will change how you look at productivity. It’s called The One Thing. It is written by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.
It is brilliant for helping you see the importance of doing one thing. And you will get a step by step plan to first know your ONE thing (if you didn’t already, but you probably do) and then second help you to do it.
You of course, may reach out for a conversation for us to have on how you can receive your own private support. I’m always happy to help people excel faster if they so choose.
I’d love for you to share your thoughts, your results or ask any questions you have. Feel free to post in the comment box or reach out directly to me at kim@kimravida.com
