There are certain things that we do with our best intention, but the impact is not the same as we anticipated. Have you ever wondered why? Where did you go wrong? Here are five common mistakes people usually make while planning for tomorrow.
You Don’t Have Clarity of Thought – Productivity is driven by priority and focus. It is getting the most efficient output without wasting the least effort. The clearer you are about what you want to do and why, the clearer you will be on how to go about it. Priority drives the direction of your energy. Focussing on too many things at hand at one time, reduces your efficiency. Be clear about what is most important and throw all your energy into fulfilling it.
You Don’t Plan Realistically – Planning is the key to success in any endeavour. Once you have planned and have everything in black and white, you can readily see when, where and what to tackle so that your plan comes together perfectly.
You Don’t Have A To-Do List – Having a tangible plan keeps you calm and manages your anxiety level, even when things do not seem to go as planned. Prepare a To Do list on a daily basis and concentrate on those tasks diligently.
You Did not Make a Backup Plan – Things don’t always go as planned and having a backup plan can save you from unnecessary loss of time and energy. Always have a plan B in mind so that you can immediately switch over when needed.
You Don’t Plan Your Recovery – Always plan your recovery before you actually need it. Working tirelessly can leave you drained and on the brink of collapse. Your body needs rest in between but we usually neglect this. Rest need not be a long break or an exotic vacation. You can simply keep half an hour aside in a day for whatever you love to do.
Final Thoughts
Productivity is all bout thorough planning and implementation! Plan in advance and move forward on your chosen path.
