6 Elements of a Productive Day – TPW477

We all lead incredibly busy lives, but we mustn't neglect ourselves or those who matter most to us. In this episode, I’m sharing some elements I think are necessary for a truly productive day (and life).max white shoes nike air max 97 gucci nike air jordan 1 mid se air max 95 sale air jordan 11 cmft low nike jordan zoom air cmft air jordan 4 retro military black nike air jordan ma2 vast grey jordan proto max 720 jordan max aura 4 nike jordan series 06 nike air force jordan nike air jordan ma2 vast grey nike air jordan 14 jordan proto max 720 Fitting these 6 elements into your day can help you lead a more productive (and fulfilling) life Usually toward the end of the year I do an episode in which I talk about doing a year-end review. I started to do that for this week, but decided to go another direction. I do recommend a year-end review and plan for the coming year, so if you want some ideas for that, check out episodes 379 (Who Will You Be This Time Next Year? Setting Goals That Matter), episode 378 (Laying a Foundation: Lessons Learned), episode 170 (Taking Care of Future You), and episode 70 (Laying a Foundation for a Great New Year).  This week I thought I’d share with you some thoughts I’ve been having about what I want the coming year to look like and some of the elements that I think would let me feel that a day is truly productive. Honestly, it might not be possible to include every single one of them every day, but if I can achieve them most days or at least several days throughout the week, I’m going to feel pretty good about my level of productivity. 1. Responsibility Doing the necessary; this is the work we do, both for pay and in our home. This is the stuff we think of first when we think of being productive--the tasks on our to-do list. This is a lot of what we talk about on this podcast when we’re looking at productivity--all the skills and tools we can use to get things done most effectively and efficiently.  2. Rest  Self-explanatory; taking care of our bodies and minds by getting enough sleep and rest are necessary to enable us to do any of the other things we need and want to do, and to enjoy the life we make for ourselves and those we love. For those reasons, I believe rest is a necessary component of productivity.  3. Reflection Defined as “serious thought or consideration," reflection is necessary for living intentionally rather than simply reacting to what life throws at us.
