Have you seen that commercial of the “productivity guy?”
He’s crushing it.
He’s emailing, texting, shuffling papers, taking phone calls, all at the same time.
It’s funny. But it’s NOT healthy.
Multi-tasking. Frantic effort. A relentless pursuit of the next task on full afterburner.
How long can you operate at that level?
Pro hockey players can for about a minute and a half. After that, they hit the bench to recover before taking back the ice.
Your work isn’t as physical, but you still need rest after focused effort.
Real productivity isn't "go go go." Real productivity requires balance.
Balance between exercise and relaxation, business and family, achievement and celebration.
Without balance, you’ll spend a few hours crushing it like the “productivity guy” only to burn out for the rest of the week.
Which sounds better to you?
90 minutes of achievement followed by a week of under-performing?
or
Balanced, sustained, consistent progress and results week after week, month after month?
Uhhhh, option 2 please.
For these results, you need a personalized system complete with:
🍎 A nutrition plan to keep you sharp and focused so you can get work done without sacrificing fun food like 🌮🍔🥓🍩.
🏋️♀️ An exercise plan to give you more energy on tough days while fitting your work/travel schedule.
📅 A projects/goals plan so you can achieve consistent results over a predictable timeframe.
📝 A daily management plan so you can end each day with a sense of accomplishment and not feel guilty for resting and recharging.
Shoot me an email if you need help developing a personalized system to find an optimum path to your goals: one that will make a massive positive impact on your health, energy levels, and productivity.
