Use these 5 simple tips to plan for better productivity
Use These 5 Simple Tips to Plan for Better Productivity If the link to play the video above isn't working, click here to watch. Hi Reader! There's been something in the air lately, and I've had more on my work plate than normal. All this added work has made me super grateful for my time management and productivity system. As you may know, my system includes daily task lists in my Full Focus Planner along with time blocking on my Google Calendar. I like the physical act of writing things down and then checking off tasks when they're completed (Full Focus Planner). And I appreciate how easy it is to adjust and move time blocks around as needed in a digital format (Google Calendar). But a system doesn't work if you don't do the work and use it. And that's where the tips on planning your week effectively from today's video come in ... 5 Tips to Planning for Better Productivity
You can incorporate any or all of these tips into your day whether you use the bullet journal method like Ryder Carroll, a combination of the Full Focus planner and Google Calendar like me, or another method to organize your time and focus your productivity. The key is to do what works for you. The crux of the matter is that you are simply more productive when you have a plan. Failing to plan may not always mean planning to fail, but having a plan certainly stacks the odds of success in your favor. As always, I'd love to know what you think of this week's newsletter.

Don’t Wait for a Big Event to Reach Out Hey Reader, Working from home can be empowering … but also a little isolating. And during summer — when people are vacationing, kids are home, and routines shift — it’s easy to fall into solo mode without even realizing it. That’s where this "trick" I discovered with milestones comes in ... Yes, we usually think of milestones as personal progress markers.

Because if you're only tracking the big, obvious moments — the product launches, the revenue wins, the dream clients — you might be missing out on the most motivating kind of progress. And that’s exactly why I want to invite you to redefine your milestones. Here’s the truth: Progress isn’t just about final results. It’s about all the...
