Boost Your Productivity in 33 Time-Saving Ways

Because it never seems like there are enough hours in the day for most of us to finish the work we need to accomplish, I'm constantly on the lookout for new tips to help you increase your productivity.

Steve Pavilna may be one of the more prolific experts I've discovered in recent years with his ingenious ideas for beating the procrastination bug and manifesting intentions.

I have studied personal productivity for some time and have even achieved black-belt status in David Allen's Getting Things Done System. My study of this field has allowed me to appreciate that Steve's list of 33 rules for boosting your productivity is a real gem. There is elegance in brevity and simplicity.

If you follow this extensive list of rules I am confident it will help you make a dent in and even solve certain types of problems -- the kinds that create indecision and sap your time -- then click the link below for the rest.

  • Prepare in advance for the first task you'll be working on tomorrow, at the end of your current workday.
  • Visualize the goals you want to achieve as if they've already been realized.
  • Set deadlines to stay on track with a given project.
  • Develop mini-milestones, smaller targets you need to reach in any project before you stop working.

Four years ago I learned from Dr. Mercola about David Allen's book, Getting Things Done. Since reading that book and implementing its time-management tips I have become vastly more efficient, successful, and happy. That one article from Dr. Mercola set me on a path that improved my life immeasurably. Thanks you, Dr. Mercola. And for anyone who is seriously committed to becoming seriously more efficient, read David Allen's amazing book. A great complement to Allen's book is Your Best Year Yet by Jinny Ditzler.

Glad it was able to help. I continue to learn from David and am in his membership program. Have progressed to black belt level in his system and it has been one of the primary reasons why I am able to accomplish as much as I do. His system is absolutely extraordinary.

I have studied MANY books on productivity, but the list in this article is terrific. If you apply them they will go a long way towards improving your productivity. It has many of the highlights of David's system.

Time is the illusion of the self creator that is used by the ego to contain and imprison us. We all have the same amount of time. My experience is that it is not about being more efficient with the time in the day. It comes down to managing the activities within the day more efficiently. That will create the so called "more time" phenomenon.

Now, the great question Josh would be that you use the word efficiently.  If time be just an illusion to be held out to a non variable then why the need for efficiency   :)

Yowza !
