Your Most Productive Day Doesn’t Happen The Days You Do Nothing But Grind
I just went on a vacation to France with my friends. I’m not saying that to make you jealous, I swear. (Pinky swear.)
Reclaim Your Time With Productivity Injection
While the company has a new, refreshed look (check out the updated website!), we’re still dedicated to helping business owners generate more profits with higher productivity in the workplace.
The Power of Productive Introverts
This week kicks off National Introverts Week, but don’t expect a lot of celebration, because that’s not typically how we introverts roll. A productive workplace will take the needs of the entire spectrum into account: introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts.
Don’t Believe Everything You Think
Who else is fascinated by the La Brea Tar Pits?
Just me? OK. I read about them when I was a kid growing up on the East Coast and it’s never lost its allure for me. I couldn’t figure out why, after the first animal got stuck, the rest came running in after it. Short answer: that’s not exactly how it works!
Who Wants To Be a Disruptor?
Disrupting things means you have to be a little brave. You can’t turn things upside down when you’re in tune with the status quo because you like it. Dislocating things sometimes means being a little messy, though it could bring you a productive day or more productive workplace.
Worried about what being so distracted says about you?
Create Obstacles for Better Productivity
If you’re looking for productive things to do, why on earth would you inconvenience yourself?
When it comes to productivity in the workplace, sometimes it’s the (apparently) unproductive things that will help you make the most of your day. Is this counterintuitive? Utterly. Does it work? Yes it does. February 22 is Inconvenience Yourself Day, so give it a go and enjoy yourself.
Manage Distractions For a Productive Day
The first rule of Fight Distractions Club is, you do not talk about Fight Distractions Club.
Is Science Relevant to Productivity For Business Owners?
Do you think business owners should know some science? Particularly women business owners?
Who Here Thinks the Way We Work Today… Well, Works?
I don’t. That’s why I want to change the way we work. Especially business owners.
Is It Possible to Live a Balanced Life?
January is Balanced Life month, and for many of us, that just seems like an impossibility. Sure, after I finish looking after my partner/kids/pets/finances/housekeeping/laundry/chores/etc. and preparing healthy meals and exercising, I’ll go get a balanced life! Productivity in the workplace, here I come! And then I’ll finally have time for me.
Weird how that “time for me” never comes, huh?
Stay Inside If You HATE to Improve Your Performance
If you’re looking for productive things to do to kick off 2023 just right, putting your nose to the grindstone and spending all day in front of the screen aren’t going to help you. Unless you’re into the whole “toxic productivity” thing, which I am not.
Skyrocket Your Productivity by Moving Around
When was the last time you took the stairs when there was an elevator right there? The stairs can actually help you have a more productive day. (Or as in my case help curb impatience.) January 11 is National Take the Stairs Day, so try it out if you’re not already taking the steps!
How Introverts Rule as Entrepreneurs
While many people think you have to be an extrovert to be a business owner, it turns out that’s not true. January 2 is World Introvert Day, so I suggest all of us entrepreneurial introverts unite! Separately. In our own homes. (Staying at home is probably one of the more productive things to do when you need a lot of time for recharging.)
Entrepreneur Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Use your LifeLine!
We’re in that week between Chrismahanukwaanzika and New Year’s, but it’s no time to let your productivity drain away!
Festivus… for the Rest of Us!
At this time of year, Christmas takes up a lot of airtime, but there are lots of other holidays to celebrate. Many people who aren’t Christians celebrate the holiday, because why not, but others of us aren’t always in the mood.
Boundaries for Profit and Productivity
Rolling your eyes and wondering why you’re seeing a post with therapy-speak in it? “I’m a business owner, not a patient!” But boundaries are not just for family (or something you only think about with a therapist). Setting boundaries can actually help you in your business.
To Be More Productive You Need to Be Brave
Busy is not productive - it’s more of an ego stroke than anything else (as you know if you’ve been reading me for a while!) If you prefer the “satisfaction” of being busy … and putting items on your to-do list just so you can check them off… and if you like the status quo, then you’re not ready to max out on your productivity.
Personal Space for Profit and Productivity
We introverts understand all about the concept of personal space because, well, we need it. A lot of it. November 30 is Personal Space Day, which apparently was tailor-made for us. (Yes, you can be an introvert and still be a business owner.)
We Still Gotta Give Thanks?
Time for Thanksgiving! Even when it’s tough.
