Tip #599 Four Habits that Cultivate Productivity

Working smarter, not harder, requires developing the following four healthy habits.

1. Develop a morning routine. On the subject of cultivating a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness, Dale Carnegie said, "Fill your mind with thoughts of peace courage, health and hope." That's an impossible feat if you start each day haphazardly. People who begin the day with the right routine set a positive tone for the entire day, minimize stress and maximize momentum. The goal of a morning routine is not to do the exact same thing every single morning; rather, it's to minimize variations. Only you know which activities will benefit you most such as meditation, exercise, journaling, etc. so design a routine with activities that work best for you. Eating a protein-rich breakfast will provide you with the energy you need to pump up your productivity, and help keep your focus sharp all day so you can accomplish as much as possible.

2. Designate time for email. Sounds simple, but in our speedy society where immediate gratification and response have become the norm, this can be very challenging. Instead of constantly checking email or responding to message notifications, carve out some specific times during your workday for email. If this idea makes you cringe, consider the facts.
