One of the top productivity tips I share with my life coaching client is the Pareto Principle. This states that 80% of our outputs come from 20% of our inputs. The secret is therefore to find and focus on the 20% inputs that create 80% of the results!
Here is an example how to apply this:
List all the things you have or want to do tomorrow. Then ask yourself, which one of those actions would create the biggest results. That’s your number one task for the day! Then pick the second most impactful item and so on.
Completing the most important tasks first will lift your mood and energise you to do more. If you still have time after completing the most important tasks, you can move on to the other items on your list. If you don’t manage to complete them all, it won’t matter that much because you did complete the ones that count most.
Even better: Only prioritise actions that support your key goals and values in life or career. Don’t know what they are? Contact me at info@hansschmann.com! I take my life coaching clients through easy processes that help them gain clarity quickly about their key priorities in life.
