23. Productivity on Purpose - Learning to Own the Day

'Owning the Day'

You know it's one of those pieces of wisdom that you don't really hear, or actively listen to until you're ready to.  In fact, most personal development is like that, how many times have people told you to follow a passion, be more positive, be grateful. 

We take so many of these things for granted as common sense but rarely put them into practice until we are ready to listen and hear the philosophies & science. Or need them to make a transformation in how we live. 

I believe Owning the Day is about being intentional and being in control of how you spend it. 

I know that being more effective and productive in my work, and those of my clients, means less late night working. Less overtime to finish the presentation, and that means more quality time at home. 

It means less risk of burnout and that is negatively life-changing.

I'm with you, I'm not productive all the time, but I focus on the things that matter and deflect the urge to receive instant gratification from social media, email and responding the other people's needs. Especially when we have a big project to deliver. 

The key is getting the 3 dimensions for success 
- Clarity, focus/direction. 
- The right mindset to go deep, know you can do it and get started. 
- The support to remove distractions and help where they can. 

I'd love to know how you get set up to be productive on purpose. 
All the best
Sue
