Improve Day to Day Productivity

You can improve even small tasks with efficient planning.

Organization does more than help you tackle large projects. Use these tips to be more productive in your day-to-day life.

Stand Up
Keep meetings short and on topic by conducting 10- to 15-minute “stand-ups.” Studies find that these sorts of meetings are more effective. They are also better for your mental and physical health.

Make a Decision
Everyone has a "to-do" list. Often more than one. You can cut down on clutter and stress. Immediately address any piece of paper handed to you. As an alternative, block out time on your schedule each day to deal with paperwork.

Go for a Walk
Give yourself a mental vacation during the day by taking a 10-minute walk. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to focus.

Give Yourself the Gift of Time
Rushing to get a last-minute gift for birthdays or holidays can be exhausting. Save yourself time and stress by picking up thoughtful gifts year-round instead.

Set it (Out) and Forget It
Want a little more time to yourself in the morning? Take a little extra time the night before to prepare everything you need for the next day.

Embracing the Face-to-Face Network

It’s easy to get caught up in the endless cycle of emails, messages, and video calls. But sometimes, the best way to build relationships and grow your business is to step away from the screen and embrace the face-to-face network. The Power of In-Person Connections While virtual networking has its place, there’s something special about connecting with people in person. The energy, the body language, the shared experience – these all contribute to a more meaningful and lasting connection. Finding Your Tribe Your local Chamber of Commerce, professional groups, or even groups that are not directly related to your industry can be great places to start. These groups provide a platform for you to meet like-minded individuals, share ideas, and build relationships.
