Feeling overwhelmed? Drowning in a sea of tasks? In today's fast-paced world, productivity isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter. We know the adage of time is money. While CPR says time is more important than money, today's post offers a few strategies to maximize output, save time, and achieve goals.
Say NO
Saying "no" is a powerful tool for productivity as a business owner because it protects your time and your mental health, reduces stress & burnout, and gives you more "ME" time, and it improves decision-making. Being able to say no is powerful. We will explore this topic further in a future post.
2. Conduct a Subscription Audit
Subscription creep is real. Take some time to review your monthly subscriptions. Don't be timid in saying no or reducing the offer. Honing this habit can keep you organized and ensure you get the maximum benefit from the services you choose to keep.
3. Clean Your Email Inbox
A cluttered inbox can add unnecessary stress to your day. Free yourself from the mountain of unread emails by taking these steps:
Deleting all the emails you don’t need.
Unsubscribe from promotional emails and newsletters you no longer read.
An uncluttered inbox is crucial for maintaining productivity and assists in time management. While it is a good practice to start at the end of 4Q in preparation for the new business year, just start.
4. Declutter Your Home
A fresh, tidy space can translate to a refreshed mindset. Consider donating, selling, or giving away items you no longer need or use. This process not only helps you clear out clutter from your home, making it feel lighter and more inviting, but it also provides an opportunity to help others who may require those items.
Decluttering can be an excellent and refreshing way to welcome creative ideas as the new year approaches. If you have not already done so, do it.
