You may be thinking to yourself, well teach I'm just not a productive person. That's just not who I am. I'm not wired that way. Let me challenge you. Think about the last time you went on a nice vacation, whether it's a one week vacation or a two week vacation, think of how you operated the day or two or even the afternoon of that last day in your office. Chances are you were incredibly productive.
The most common thing people say is they did a week's worth of work or at least four days worth of work in that last six hours at the office. You've probably felt that yourself I know I have. Here's what I want you to do the next time you are going on vacation, record yourself, put a laptop or an an iPad, and video record yourself the whole day or at least take detailed notes of what did you do that day? What did you do to speed things up. How did you go from taking normally two hours to go through the email in the morning to doing it all in 10 minutes? Because anything you did that day before the vacation, you could probably be doing on a daily basis.
So all of us can be highly productive when motivated the Certain Way. So that's my challenge for you think about reflect upon and certainly the next time you go on vacation, really analyze and record, what is it you're doing differently in your day, and then we'll figure out how can we do that on a regular basis.
