Productivity tips I'd give you if I were not afraid to…

Productivity tips I'd give you if I were not afraid to hurt your feelings.

Deep breaths here…

1. Working long hours makes you less productive because it allows you to waste time. You'd be more effective if you had half the hours.

2. Most productivity hacks are a waste of time. To be more productive, you should do less, not more.

3. 90% of the apps on your phone are wasting your time, and you know it.

4. The most dangerous procrastination is learning, because it can actually feel useful.

5. Motivation is for amateurs. You don't need to 'feel like it' to do anything. You do a lot of things without motivation. Give your goals the same privilege.

6. If you're constantly busy but not improving, you're confusing activity with progress. Being busy is easy, being effective is hard.

7. You probably know what to do, but you don't do it because of what people might think if you did (especially if you could fail at it).

8. Stop using 'Perfectionism' to justify your fear. If your thinking is 'Perfect or nothing', you will always end up with nothing, because it never feels perfect, does it? Unreleased perfection has a zero return on your effort.

9. People-pleasing is quietly destroying you, and you never win. Think of the people you tried to please in the past - did it pay off? Unless you learn to say 'no' to others, you can't say 'yes' to yourself.

Full disclosure, I started writing this list for myself.
