      Be More Productive - Dr. Michael Ericsson

      Chapter 1 –  How to Become Productive & Achieve Anything

      Time is endless, and everyone has it. However, wasted time can never be returned. Many people just want to make sure they use all of their time for things that are worth spending it for. If you are a person with a tiny schedule, time management would be very useful in saving time as you make full use of it. Properly managing of time and overcoming procrastination is the key to a productive life.

      Being productive isn’t as easy as it seems to be. It means not being lazy and continuously using time to do things that are worth the time. If you are a person who is often overcome by laziness, you’re always unmotivated to do things that are productive. Remember that your future will always depend on how you manage your time and how productive you can be with the time.

      The following are techniques and tips you can follow to be a more productive person:

      Instead of checking for work in the morning after you wake up, plan on what you have to work on before you sleep in the night. In that way you’ll have something to look forward to on the next day.

      Do not wait for work to go to you. This usually ends up with procrastination on your part. Instead of waiting for something to work on, go get it yourself. If you start by this act, it would be easier for you to generate ideas and finish the task you have chosen.

      Inspire yourself by thinking of your goals and ambitions. Remember that you have to work hard in order to get your goals. Think about your goals every morning. This will give you the spiritual energy you need for work.

      Keep your workplace clean at all times. What invites a high quality work better than a clean workplace? If your place is messy, it would be very stressful for you, which may lead to unproductivity and even procrastination.

      High quality work takes a lot of concentration. Claim only a task which fits your capacity. Don’t just say yes to everything, choose at least one or at most 3 projects and do your best to work on them.

      Pay attention to your physically fit at all times. Although your work may only require you to sit down and encode, physical fitness is crucial to improve blood flow, which could lead to a better focus on a task at hand and generate huge amounts of energy for a whole day of work.

      To be productive, you will need plenty of energy. Dehydration leads to a weakened state, which won’t allow you to perform a task at your best. Drink plenty of water to replenish your body’s supplies. With appropriate hydration, you get enough energy, and become more productive.

      When you have free time, don’t just lie down on your sofa without doing anything, or just sit on the train on the way to work. You can read articles or listen to audio lessons about subjects that you are passionate about.

      You’ll be more productive if you work on a task without being disturbed by anyone. That is why some successful people are difficult to find. They usually work inside a hidden room in their home. If you have an important task at hand, then you could want to get away from the things and people that may quell you so you can get the work done as soon as possible.

      Chapter 2 – How to Get Rid of Procrastination

      MANY PEOPLE ARE FOND of delaying stressful tasks in favor of doing pleasurable activities first. Some are more comfortable working under pressure, which is why they justify their postponement of responsibilities until they get pressured by the limited time remaining before deadline.

      Procrastination may be a result of many factors such as stress, loss of productivity, laziness, guilt, crisis, as well as low self-esteem due to social reaction to failures and not properly performing a responsibility or commitment. Further procrastination occurs if such feelings are combined and felt at the same time.

      It is considered normal for people to procrastinate to a certain level, especially if their work is stressful or boring. It becomes a problem, however, when procrastination impedes normal daily activities because of serious yet invalid reasons.

      Procrastination is a powerful habit and many people are drawn to it. To overcome such setback, there are a variety of ways to focus on your tasks without putting them off due to a lot of reasons.

      Face your fears. Procrastination could happen because of fear. Fear of what? You may have a lot of fears when you work. Fear of failure may cause you to pause and put off your task. You might be afraid to make mistakes, which is why you cannot start performing your task. In some cases, there are people who are afraid of succeeding. Remember to always face and conquer your fears. This is a good way to beat your procrastination habit.

      Making lists. Task lists are helpful in keeping track of your progress. With such lists, some people get motivated to work and finish all the tasks at a given time. In a list, put a date to each task and give it a time limit. In this way, you will feel slight pressure to complete a task as the deadline draws near.

      Divide and conquer. When you are given big projects, facing them head on might end up with you losing to stress and headache. That is why a lot of individuals, when given such projects, get intimidated or hopeless just by looking at the amount of work presented. In such case, it would be great to divide the project into different elements and finish them one by one. You can create a list of the divided segments of the project and decide where to start. In this way, you can work on a big project without feeling how big it really is.

      Identify the habit and deal with it. When you start working on the tasks on your list thoughts of procrastination will eventually come into your mind especially if there are distractions and temptations around you. At a certain time, you would find yourself thinking I’ll just do this later or I still have time tomorrow, I’ll just play for now. If these thoughts come into your head, then this is a signal that you are about to put it off or procrastinate. You have to recognize these signs and try your best not to give in to temptation. Instead, try to start doing the task, you will then realize that the task at hand becomes easier to do once you have started on doing it.

      Lessen the load. The main reason for people to procrastinate is because they have too much work load and they don’t know how to start, or finish them. Claim only the tasks that fit into your capacity and finish it first before moving into the next one. It is not advisable to claim multiple big tasks at once, but if for some reason you do, divide each project into different segments and work on a segment of one project at a time, then in another project’s when you’re done. In this way, boredom and procrastination is reduced.

      Treat yourself for a job well done. Finishing a task feels really nice, even if it’s just a portion of the project itself. Whenever you finish an element of your project, reward yourself by indulging in things that you find fun and relaxing. You can eat your favorite snack, watch your favorite TV show, or play some video games. Limit your reward, however, into only a couple of hours and finish another task to obtain another two hours of fun. Having too much fun and forgetting about your pending work is also a form of procrastination.

      Move around. To condition yourself before a job, it is helpful to move around the house by jogging and doing exercises such as push-ups or stretches to warm your body up change your mindset.

      Meditate. There is a time for everything. You have time to work, watch television, listen to music, eat, and sleep. You should also have time to sit down and be quiet for a while. You don’t have to do anything, just sit and breathe. This relieves you from the stress of work and refreshes your mind. An American boy once asked a Chinese monk: What if I can’t take them, what if I die? The monk answered: Don’t forget to breathe. Breathing without thinking of anything is the simplest form of relaxation, don’t forget to do so.

      No matter how many methods you read, doing them is another story. Beating procrastination is not as easy as reading the methods to do so. The urge to put off important tasks is strong, and many people find it difficult to fight.

      Chapter 3 – How to Inspire Positivity in Life

      NOWADAYS STRESS IS everywhere. Stress is a big catalyst that can trigger a rise in cholesterol levels. It can also lead to hypertension, damage some arteries and can lead to heart disease. Stress can also cause abnormal bowel activity and make your immune system weaker, which could then allow viruses and infections to take over the body. Also, stress can prolong recovery from already existing disorders in the body.

      Harmony in life is very important to relieve yourself from stress. Your routine should contain proper exercise, enough sleep, and good diet. These are just the basic needs of a human body. Stress can be a part of your everyday life, so you should always practice general relaxation techniques especially when faced with strenuous activities. If you have enough free time, then use it for relaxation purposes.

      Staying happy is a little complicated
