How on earth do you get so much done, Tash?
Do you really work less than 25 hours each week? Surely not, I see you everywhere!
These are some of the most consistent things I hear whenever I talk about productivity and hours of work.
AND YES - I sell a planning system, so I have a bit of a bias towards using a planner to know what you're doing when you sit to get work done.
BUT I'm not talking about the bigger system today. Instead I want to focus on the core of my productivity, which I believe can be attributed to the way I start and end my day.
SO - in this episode I'm sharing my morning and end of day routines that boost my productivity. That way, if you want to try some of these out for yourself, you can!
Ready to boost your productivity with some simple ways to start and end your day?
Let's do it, shall we? Let the productivity pod... BEGIN!
These are my top productivity boosters, that I use at the start and end of my day... most days.
Let's start by covering the end of day first, because my end of day routine feeds into my start of day routine on the next day that I work in my business.
Firstly - I have the same end of day routine, no matter what time I finish up! Some days, I'm finished my day by 10am... because my key tasks are DONE, and I get to decide if I want to dive into more, or if I'm done. The end of my work day can be at very different times of the day, but I always end off with the same little closing down routine:
- Tracking my income: I calculate and track my income received since my last income tracking (generally the end of the previous day).
- Quick journaling: Usually this is simply 2-3 sentences about how I'm feeling. The prompts vary, but it's generally about my output (what I've done today) or my outcomes (what results have come in today).
- Tomorrow's priorities: I flip to the next day of my planner, and I write down my top three actions for the next day. This is particularly important, because that sets up my 'start of day' routine for the next day (as you'll see in the following section).
- Laptop shutdown: Once I have my top 3 tasks for the next day, I shut down my computer. YES, every day, I close all the tabs down. I shut down properly, and then close the lid of my laptop.
- Planner on top: My final step - I pop my planner on top of my laptop. I'm literally making it impossible for me to open my laptop the next day without picking up my planner.
My end of day routine is something that's taken years to refine... but it works so well for me.
