Whitney Owens, the host of the Wise Practice Podcast, is joined by Uriah Gilford, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the owner of a group practice in Northern California. Uriah is also the creator of Productive Therapist, a virtual assistant company that serves therapists in private practice. In this lighthearted and engaging conversation, Whitney and Uriah discuss the pillars of productivity for a therapy office.

The First Pillar of Productivity is Personal Productivity

The first pillar of productivity is personal productivity. This refers to your ability to manage your time and focus on the tasks that matter most. It means being able to prioritize your tasks, set realistic goals, and make the most of your time. To achieve this, you need to understand your own work style and habits, and learn how to make the most of your time. For example, you can use tools like calendars, to-do lists, and timers to keep track of your progress and ensure that you're on track.

Personal productivity is all about utilizing your time and energy in the most effective way possible. This includes developing habits and routines that maximize your potential and help you stay focused and on track. Whitney mentions several strategies for improving personal productivity such as setting clear goals, prioritizing tasks, and taking regular breaks.

The Second Pillar of Productivity is Pretty Good Organization

Organization is crucial for productivity as it allows individuals and businesses to stay on top of tasks and responsibilities. Whitney highlights the importance of creating a system for managing tasks and information, such as using a to-do list or a productivity app. He also suggests implementing a process for filing and storing important documents and information.

The Third Pillar of Productivity is Plenty of Delegation

Delegation is an essential aspect of productivity as it allows individuals and businesses to distribute tasks and responsibilities, freeing up time and energy for other important tasks. Whitney emphasizes the importance of delegating tasks to the right people and setting clear expectations and guidelines. The benefits of  outsourcing tasks to professionals and using automation to streamline processes were also mentioned. 

The Importance of Mindset and Habits in Productivity

The conversation also touched on the importance of mindset and habits in productivity. It's crucial to have the right mindset and habits in place in order to be productive. This means setting goals, being proactive, and avoiding distractions. It also means creating a routine that supports productivity and sticking to it, even when it's difficult. For example, you can get up earlier in the morning, turn off your phone, or find a quiet workspace to focus on your work.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the conversation around productivity and its three main pillars has given us a valuable insight into what it takes to be productive. Whether it's personal, organizational, or deletional productivity, it's important to understand the role that each pillar plays in increasing productivity. By focusing on each of these pillars and incorporating the right habits and mindset, we can achieve our goals and be more productive in all areas of our lives. Remember, being productive isn't about working harder, it's about working smarter, and these three pillars can help you do just that.
