 Here are 21 Tips to Become the Most Productive Person You Know by Robin Sharma

#1. Check email in the afternoon so you protect the peak energy hours of your mornings for your best work.

#2. Stop waiting for perfect conditions to launch a great project. Immediate action fuels a positive feedback loop that drives even more action.

#3. Remember that big, brave goals release energy. So set them clearly and then revisit them every morning for 5 minutes.

#4. Mess creates stress (I learned this from tennis icon Andre Agassi who said he wouldn’t let anyone touch his tennis bag because if it got disorganized, he’d get distracted). So clean out the clutter in your office to get more done.

#5. Sell your TV. You’re just watching other people get successful versus doing the things that will get you to your dreams.

#6. Say goodbye to the energy vampires in your life (the negative souls who steal your enthusiasm).

#7. Run routines. When I studied the creative lives of massively productive people like Stephen King, John Grisham and Thomas Edison, I discovered they follow strict daily routines. (i.e., when they would get up, when they would start work, when they would exercise and when they would relax). Peak productivity’s not about luck. It’s about devotion.

#8. Get up at 5 am. Win the battle of the bed. Put mind over mattress. This habit alone will strengthen your willpower so it serves you more dutifully in the key areas of your life.

#9. Don’t do so many meetings. (I’ve trained the employees of our FORTUNE 500 clients on exactly how to do this – including having the few meetings they now do standing up – and it’s created breakthrough results for them).

#10. Don’t say yes to every request. Most of us have a deep need to be liked. That translates into us saying yes to everything – which is the end of your elite productivity.

#11. OUTSOURCE everything you can’t be BIW (Best in the World) at. Focus only on activities within what I call “Your Picasso Zone”.

#12. Stop multi-tasking. New research confirms that all the distractions invading our lives are rewiring the way our brains work (and drop our IQ by 5 points!). Be one of the rare-air few who develops the mental and physical discipline to have a mono-maniacal focus on one thing for many hours. (It’s all about practice).

#13. Get fit like Madonna. Getting to your absolute best physical condition will create explosive energy, renew your focus and multiply your creativity.

#14. Workout 2X a day. This is just one of the little-known productivity tactics that I’ll walk you through in my new online training program YOUR PRODUCTIVITY UNLEASHED (details at the end of this post) but here’s the key: exercise is one of the greatest productivity tools in the world. So do 20 minutes first thing in the morning and then another workout around 6 or 7 pm to set you up for wow in the evening.

#15. Drink more water. When you’re dehydrated, you’ll have far less energy. And get less done.

#16. Work in 90 minute blocks with 10 minute intervals to recover and refuel (another game-changing move I personally use to do my best work).

#17. Write a Stop Doing List. Every productive person obsessively sets To Do Lists. But those who play at world-class also record what they commit to stop doing. Steve Jobs said that what made Apple Apple was not so much what they chose to build but all the projects they chose to ignore.

#18. Use your commute time. If you’re commuting 30 minutes each way every day – get this: at the end of a year, you’ve spent 6 weeks of 8 hour days in your car. I encourage you to use that time to listen to fantastic books on audio + excellent podcasts and valuable learning programs. Remember, the fastest way to double your income is to triple your rate of learning.

#19. Be a contrarian. Why buy your groceries at the time the store is busiest? Why go to movies on the most popular nights? Why hit the gym when the gym’s completely full? Do things at off-peak hours and you’ll save so many of them.

#20. Get things right the first time. Most people are wildly distracted these days. And so they make mistakes. To unleash your productivity, become one of the special performers who have the mindset of doing what it takes to get it flawless first. This saves you days of having to fix problems.

#21. Get lost. Don’t be so available to everyone. I often spend hours at a time in the cafeteria of a university close to our headquarters. I turn off my devices and think, create, plan and write. Zero interruptions. Pure focus. Massive results.

I truly hope these 21 productivity tips have been valuable to you. And that I’ve been of service. Your productivity is your life made visible. Please protect it.

Stay productive.

Creating Your Life - A Cartoonist’s Advice by Bill Watterson

Always Leave Office on Time !

"Love your job but don’t love your company, because you may not know when your company stops loving you". 
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

1. Work is a never-ending process. It can never be completed.
2. Interest of a client is important, so is your family.
3. If you fall in your life, neither your boss nor client will offer you a helping hand; your family and friends will.
4. Life is not only about work, office and client. There is more to life.
5. You need time to socialize, entertain, relax and exercise. Don’t let life be meaningless.
6. A person who stays late at the office is not a hardworking person.
7. Instead he/she is a fool who does not know how to manage work within the stipulated time. He/She is inefficient and incompetent in his work.
8. You did not study hard and struggle in life to become a machine.
9. If your boss forces you to work late, he/she may be ineffective and have a meaningless life too; so forward this to him/her. 

Leaving Office on Time:

• Efficient
• Good Social Life
• Quality Family Life

Leaving Office Late:

• Inefficient & Incompetent
• No Social Life
• Less Family Life

Highly Creative People : Do Things Differently

It's hard to find that inner creative voice if you're ... not getting in touch with yourself and reflecting on yourself. Creative types understand the value of a clear and focused mind - because their work depends on it. Many artists, entrepreneurs, writers and other creative workers, have turned to meditation as a tool for tapping into their most creative state of mind.

Here are things They Do Differently :

In the words of Steve Jobs:
  " Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. "  

5 Types of People Who NEVER Succeed at Work

Here are the 5 people in your office who will never succeed:

1. The Group Thinkers 

Group think is the reason why people say, “But we’ve always done it this way! We can’t change it!” It’s also the reason why things never, ever get done. Ever.

Group think is a type of psychological problem and described as the reason why progress is never made. It is easy to find them in the workplace because they sit in a group and make a weird statement in meetings. They always think that what they are doing is amazing and changing it would be a terrible idea. And if something goes wrong in the workplace, then it’s not their fault. If you fight against them you have a high risk of your view point negations and tons of frustration. But if you join them you will become stupid and will be counted with them.

2. The Losers

When you get success then there are always some people who will doubt about your success. Those people are sore losers. In every workplace there are some people who get jealous when other employees get bonuses. They will always have a negative story about everyone. The only way to battle a sore loser is to make sure that they are not right.

3. The Drowners 

“I have so much work to do and can’t complete work on deadline. I can’t do this alone”.
If you think like this then you are a drowner. Drowners are those people who allow themselves to become so buried with problems and they can’t find a solution. It is better to tell your boss about the mistake when there is no chance of recovery.

4. The Non-Stop Complainers 

In every workplace there are some people who spend all their time complaining about work on social sites. If you think that you are always busy then you need to think about why you have more negative things in mind about your work.

Here’s an idea: Don’t complain about something unless you have some solution to fix the problems.

5. The Malicious Gossipers

You must avoid the malicious gossipers completely and put a large amount of space between you and that person. There are some people in every office who never miss an opportunity to amplify the words of others. It’s better to stay away from these people, they are like the flu.

Whoops.
