There is a culprit in the act of productivity. Many wonder if that’s watching too much TV, being on social media, or not having any goals written down. In fact, there are lots of courses online, conferences and books that are focused to teach people how to be productive.
Lots of money is thrown into the theme of productivity. Well yes, if we are unproductive we are shown as lazy, inefficient, and uncreative.
Let’s just see what happens when you set your mind to accomplish one task. That task is to create your next video post for your site. You sit down on your laptop and you have the entire night all cleared up for you to finish this task. Once you sit down, open your laptop, a flow of emerging thoughts start flowing through your head. As if they were all waiting for you to begin that task.
One thought is, to check out Amazon for that one thing you’ve been meaning to buy for the bathroom. The next thought is to check your social media profile really quick before you start working on that one task. The next thought is to check on the weather for the weekend and the flow of thoughts keep carrying on. If you act on these thoughts that will kill your productivity for the night.
The secret of staying productive is to shut off all those thoughts. If you set your mind to accomplish one thing, you are to finish that task. If you keep drifting away from your set goal in mind, you will never finish posting that one video for your website. Let’s face it, our world is spinning faster than we could imagine, but it stops when we are producing and serving our fellow human beings.
Let’s get to killing all the inner thoughts that kill our productivity.
