So how can you become more productive? So I would like you to really take notes on this one because here it's a step by step process. The first thing that I do and that I encourage you to do is to take like to open an Excel sheet or take a piece of paper, and then you write down your main goals. What are your main goals for this year? What what are the main goals? So if you're an entrepreneur, if the goals will be about your business, I really want to write in terms of for if you're not writing in terms of personal goals, you're just writing in terms of, Okay, what are your goals at work, and you write down, okay, my goal this year is to do that to do that.

To do that I have, I want to accomplish this project, I want to do that I want to get a raise, I want to do that. I want to that. So you write down what you want to accomplish, because the first step is about having more clarity in what you want. Remember, most people they don't know what they want, so they don't know the important tasks they should be doing. getting what they want. And what you do here is that you just write down.

So in my case, I have an Excel sheet with all my business goals. And like I know for 2018 exactly what I will be doing, I know what my main goals are, and I have my goals that are defined. I know they are there. And then I would like to you to break down your main goals into milestones, what are my stones, it's just big actions that you must complete in order to create the project, in my case, so I wrote my new book, which is master your life. And I had this goal of launching my new book, master your life. And what I did is I broke down the project.

So I had, I must first find an idea for the book. So this was one milestone. I had to write the book. I had to add the books, which was another milestone, then I had to find someone to create the book cover. Then I had to find someone to print the book and then I had to find someone To send the book. So you can see here that these were my my milestones.

So I had this, this big goal and had the small milestones. So I knew that the actions that I had to come to complete had to achieve the first milestone, then the second milestone, the third milestone, the first milestone, so I knew exactly the steps. Because most of the time, if you have a big goal, it can be overwhelming, because you don't really know what to do. But if you break down into small steps, it becomes easier. So what I encourage you to do right now is start doing this exercise with me. You just write down one goal that you have at work, and then you break it down into milestones.

And it's really useful and you will see that it's really start starting the process of being more productive. Number three, is about setting deadlines. So now that you have the milestones, it's about setting a deadline. Why is that? Because it will give you a sense of urgency and it will motivate you to take action. That's it.

Straight that you are in your apartment, and it's messy, and you know that friends are coming over, you know that they will, they will come tonight. And if you know that, maybe they would come at six, seven or 8pm. And it's 11am. So yeah, whatever. I will do it later. But if you say, okay, in one hour, they will arrive.

You say, Oh my god, I have one hour. And if you create the sense of urgency, you want to clean your apartment, imagine that in one hour or half, half an hour, and your apartment is really messy. You're you're friends with our wife and his friends, like you really want to make a great impression on them. So, yes, oh my god, I have half an hour to clean my apartment. And you will be highly motivated to do that. It's the same thing with a deadline.

If you just have four goals, and if you just have the milestones, but if you don't have a deadline, you won't be motivated to push through. So when I wrote my book, I had the deadline. Okay, by this date, I have to write the book by this date. I have to find the cover by this date. I have to print By this day, this day, I must find out how to send it. So you can see here I did that with all my goals or my professional goals, I break it down and then I set a deadline next to it number four, every night, I would like you to sit down and to open this Excel sheet or take this piece of paper and to look at all your goals, and to look at all the milestones that you have, and the deadlines next to it.

And then I would like you to plan the next day. How I did that is that I focus on one project at a time or maybe one two or three maximum. So I would have the book project, I would have the honor uncouth project and I will have for example, the website project and I will say okay, what are the milestones? What are the next milestones I need to achieve? To get me closer to my dream? Okay, I must write the book.

So I write down the night before tomorrow. Which thoughts by writing 2000 words, then my other project is the website. Okay? So tomorrow I will write my marketing description. And I know so I have a list of the important tasks that I have to I have to do the next day. Okay, so I do that.

And I really try to have all the important tests in the morning done, because it's really important and as we discussed, willpower will decrease. The will power will decrease during the day. So make a list of all the important actions based on the deadlines that you have. And based on the milestones that you hit number five, it's about prioritizing the actions. For example, on my list to have I have to write the book, I have to write the marketing description. And I have to do that I have to do that if that which one is the most important, think in terms of which action will give me will give me the greatest outcome.

I would like you to In terms of the Pareto law, it means that 20% of the action will give you 80% of the results. And I would like you to do the most effective and important actions first in the morning. Okay. And you can also ask yourself this question is there a better way of doing that, and most of the time there is. So maybe instead of doing this action here, there is a most effective way that takes less time. Or you could, for example, do it in another way, and it will take less time and it will be more effective.

So I would like you to have this mindset here of Is there a better way to do it? And that's it. If you really follow the step by step process here. It will become a big success and you will know exactly what you have to do. You first define your goals. You break it down into milestones, you set a deadline, the night before you plan what you have to do, and you put the most important tasks first in the morning, you prioritize them and if you have to find if the There's a better way of doing that.

And now you are ready to start being productive, you can become productive and 99% of people don't do that. So if you do that you will be ahead of your competition and ahead of people.
