This article will discuss the four important steps for you to take to increase your productivity allowing you to identify your starting point for moving forward.
Business and Career
One of your main goals should be to find happiness in both your professional and personal life. When you decide on a career, choose one that provides satisfaction. Think of the elements of a dream job and do what you must to make it a reality.
Financial Independence
While money is not at the root of everyone’s career goals, it should strongly factor into the equation. The aim may not be to be as rich as possible, but it should be to attain a position of financial independence, so you won’t have to worry about money again. This will provide you with feelings of fulfillment.
Health
It’s not uncommon for people who are busy in their careers to put their health last by neglecting to work out and eat healthy. But not paying attention to fitness can negatively affect productivity, creativity, and mood. Set some time aside each day for exercising and work out a plan for eating nutritious meals to enjoy optimal health, success, and happiness.
Family and Personal Life
All your money and success won’t mean a thing if you don’t have family and friends to share it with. You should never get your career get in the way of spending time with the people you love.
Determine Your Starting Point
Determining your starting point should begin by creating what’s called a Diamond Mark Chart. This is a square with each side representing your financial independence, family and relationships, professional success, and health and fitness.
Each side has a line drawn to the center with numbers on it going from 10 to 1. Draw an X in accordance with the number you would rank each element. For example, if your health ranks at a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, put an X at the 6.
Draw a line to connect the Xs. The idea is to have each line even representing the perfect balance in your life.
Determining Professional Success
When it comes to determining your professional success, figure out how much your hourly rate is. If you earn a salary, break it down to determine what you make an hour. Then ask yourself if you would pay someone your hourly rate to do the tasks you are currently doing in your job.
If the answer is no, you should either eliminate the task or delegate it to someone who makes a more appropriate hourly rate.
The combination of delegating and eliminating tasks and achieving balance in your life will help you achieve the ultimate in productivity.
