Learn to Say No Just because you’re asked to do something, don’t think you are obligated. Your ﬁrst priority is building your business. If the project you’re considering doesn’t directly and immediately help build your business, pass on it for now. If it’s important, the opportunity to jump in again will come about. Make a priority list to help you determine exactly what you should focus on for the short-term, and say no to anything that falls outside of that list. The closer you stick to your priority list, the more productive you’ll become. any training program, down time is equally as important in time management. In both cases, it is during rest that the body becomes stronger. You certainly wouldn’t expect a client to train intensely, seven days a week continually. In fact, you would strongly recommend against it, knowing that without recovery, the client’s hard work will begin to work against him. Similarly, when you work continually, you will lose focus and productivity, and your hard work will begin to work against you. Take long weekends occasionally, and get out of town. Give your mind time to wander, to silence itself, to imagine. Find regular times to break away, be with friends or be alone.

When we’re energized and excited, we can get amazing amounts of work done, and it doesn’t feel like work at all. On the contrary, when we’re forcing ourselves to work harder, productivity suﬀers, as do we! Everybody generates energy and excitement from diﬀerent things, but often they are taking breaks, working toward a higher purpose, having fun, allotting time to care for yourself, etc. Clear the Clutter From a messy desk to an ineﬃcient oﬃce to unnecclutter, your productivity will suﬀer. Make it a habit to clear your desk, orga- essary noise, clutter takes many forms. Your brain craves order and serenity to function optimally. If you surround yourself with clutter, even emotional nize your workspace, reduce noise pollution and interruptions, ignore and delete emails that aren’t important or serve only as entertainment, keep your schedule regular and reliable and leave life’s dramas for someone else. Allow only important and relevant information into your workspace and your brain. Literally and ﬁguratively, throw everything else away.
