Learn to be productive by being better organized

Better organization for ultimate productivity.

What do I mean by learn to be productive by being better organized?

Well, did you know that by creating a space of organization in your head, it gives you the capacity to actually do what it is you need to do in your business to reach the success you envision?

Everything that we want in our lives begins in one spot:

In our heads.

This may be a new concept for you to embrace. The good news is that you can create ultimate productivity meaning, getting what you want by doing what you need to, by organizing your mind. You’ve heard it before. It’s your mindset.

It begins by how we think of ourselves.

I just had a client call and she told me she needed to re-arrange her office for better productivity. She felt she was unorganized to the point of distraction. She actually said this: “I’m a mess.”

We uncovered that she wasn’t only unorganized in her physical space, but also in her mental space.

Ways to organize your mental space.

You may not have realized that you can organize your mental space. You can and for the record, it is the key place to begin.

Take note of your thoughts, what do they center around? More than likely you have the same thoughts very often. And more than likely you haven’t done a thing about them. That’s clutter. 

I call those types of thoughts loopy thoughts. Because they loop around in our head, they keep coming back and we never seem to be able to stop them.

One of the things I do for myself as well as teach my clients is to be very mindful about thoughts. Especially those loopy ones.

Get those loopy thoughts out of your head and organize them by writing them out on a piece of paper (or enter into a document or online organizing system). Next, create a quick plan of how they will get done. 

What having order in your brain does for you.

When you have order in your brain you are able to have a calmer mindset. You are secure in knowing that you have captured what was in your head and that you actually have a plan to accomplish what you need to.

You are now free to actually get into action of getting your tasks done. What you did was create an organized space inside your head and now you have a clear mindset.

Your brain can relax and you can get to work. Very cool, right? Next, it’s time to organize your physical space so that it supports you in being able to take those actions when you scheduled them.

Organizing your physical space for your ultimate productivity.

Back to my client who first thought she wanted to organize her external space. Once she did her exercise of emptying her brain, writing down what she had in her head and created her path to get things done, it was time to organize the outside.

She actually was very organized to begin with. What we discovered is that she needed to create a physical space that was pretty minimal because if something was out on her desk or in her office and she laid eyes on it, she felt she needed to do it…right that second!

Are you like that? Do you easily get distracted when your eyes land on things? Do you suddenly feel the need to put something away just because you see it? If so, you may benefit from organizing your space so that it supports you rather than distracts you.

I’ve talked about this very thing on Day 18 of the Productivity Actions I wrote about a while back. Success needs a set up.

successful physical environment is set up so that everything you need to be productive is at your finger tips and/or within easy reach.

You have ample space to work, your space is organized for your needs, your electronic devices are in excellent working order, your planner/schedule is easily accessible, your papers are categorized and in places you easily access as are writing instruments and paper…continue reading more here.

Productivity is a direct reflection on organization.

You need to organize yourself inside and out in such a way that you are able to take action to get things done.

And in order to do that, being organized first will lead you to better productivity. The key steps for you to learn to be productive can be found in my blog that will teach you TOP productivity actions

You need to be clear on your TIME, be ORGANIZED with what you are doing, and know how to PRIORITIZE your time and tasks. Once you do, you will have learned how to be productive and it’s such a beautiful thing.

You will be checking things off your list so fast you won’t know what hit you. You will be able to set and achieve goals in ways you haven’t even imagined. 

Are you ready? I hope so. It’s time to learn to be productive with being better organized!

Do You Have Unwavering Faith And Optimism?

Unwavering Faith and Optimism and what it means for you.

Unwavering faith and optimism means you have a steady complete trust or confidence in yourself and are hopeful and confident about the future or the successful outcome of something.

What this means for you is that it gives you a strong foundation to stand on. 

It gives your customers/clients a trust in you to help them with where they are and to get where they want to go.

Unwavering faith and optimism speaks to you standing in your ultimate power in your business and in your life.

By being in faith and optimism, your clients and customers feel supported as well as important especially in a time of unrest.

And that also means you are supported.

How supporting others helps you.

When you have unwavering faith and optimism you become someone who people want to be around. People will gravitate to you. They will want to be near you.

When that happens the people you support, will support you. And that feels good. 

Think about someone who you like to be around. My guess is that they also have unwavering faith and optimism. 

Now think about someone who drains your energy or is hard to be around. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of faith or who is pessimistic.

Doesn’t feel so good, does it? So I think you get my point.

By you supporting others such as your clients and your customers they support you by giving you amazing referrals, continuing to do business with you and so much more.

Stand in your faith and optimism.

Here are several ways for you to stand in your faith and optimism:

  • Trust that you are where you are supposed to be.
  • Be confident in your skills and ability to learn what you need to learn.
  • Plan out your results and the steps you will take to get them.
  • See yourself being successful in all of your outcomes.

Let’s put this into action, what is one area of your life or your business that you would like to enhance with faith and optimism?

  • Name it (increase revenue, improve relationship with clients, get physically fit, have more time for family).
  • State the reason you want that outcome (to hire help, be of greater service, have more energy, build closer family ties).
  • Create clarity (make it do-able by breaking your goal down into steps, listed as one action at a time and in order of first to last with a timeline of completion).
  • State why you believe this result will happen (here is how your faith and optimism plays a part).
  • Off you go (it’s time to put the plan into action and reach your end results).

Do you need some accountability? Go ahead and share it by commenting below or email me at kim@kimravida.com with Accountability in the subject line. I’ll be happy to hold you accountable. 

I have unwavering faith and optimism in you that you will achieve your end result!

Accountability = Responsibility to yourself.

Who Said Faith Was Easy?

Faith.  I like this word.  It also means confidence, trust and assurance.  For me, all of those words evoke a powerful feeling.  Yet many of us (yes, me included) often do not have enough faith in ourselves to let go and reach for what we want…what we really want.

For many of my clients it is because they do not feel confident in themselves.  They aren’t sure, they want to make the ‘right’ decisions, they don’t want to say no, or they don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.  I could go on, but I won’t because I think you get it.  Therefore many stay stuck, unhappy, unfulfilled and oftentimes depressed by their lives rather than uplifted and living the life of their dreams.

Sure, there are things going on in their lives that they believe they have to deal with or tolerate and live with.  Yet, what they eventually come to realize is that those are stories they told themselves for one reason or another to justify their unwillingness to change.  Often it leads back to the fact that they didn’t have the faith in themselves to stand up and say “I am not going to live like this anymore!”  So what happens?  They learn to have faith in themselves and also in others.  They discover that they don’t have to suffer and they can be happy.  That realize they are the leaders of their lives and when they decide to take steps — even just one small step — to get what they want, they find faith in themselves.  It’s freeing for them and opens up a whole new life!

Once my clients find the faith in themselves to allow in the confidence, trust and assurance to shine, they never go back to their old ways of being.  The beauty is that once you have faith and allow yourself to let go and reach for what you want, you usually get it and so much more!  Sometimes, you don’t even know what you want and you end up with something even better than you expected!

There is a saying “jump and the net will appear”.  Yes, that takes a lot of faith, doesn’t it?  You’re probably thinking, “If only it were that easy, I would have jumped years ago.”  Well, those years have passed, and so too have opportunities and experiences that you won’t be able to get back.  Stop that cycle right now.  If you are still feeling the fear, I encourage you to start small, just a small jump – I’ll even do it with you.  Start by telling yourself that no longer will you be held back by anything and that you will have the faith in yourself to jump into living the life you want!

What are you going to do this week that requires faith in yourself? Let me know below, I’d love to hear it!
