There’s a productivity technique that you’ve been believing in that is actually hurting your effectiveness and ability to get more done.

Don’t feel bad. We’ve all been led to believe it.

The big lie that we’ve been told and that we have believed is that we CAN multi-task successfully. People have worn it as a badge of honor.

Journaling to achieve goals at www.xtreme-assistant.com

You can read my post about journaling gratitude here: How to Improve Your Life Using a Gratitude Journal.

Journaling can also help you achieve your goals because it will force you to think about them, consider the why and how, and explore deeper into the situation so that you can examine all sides of it.

Writing is a powerful way to capture your ideas and get them into an organized, actionable form.

Achieve success at www.xtreme-assistant.com

Breaking down your goals into actionable, bite-sized steps will help you take action and achieve success.

Like the old saying goes, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”

The more I learn, the more I realize that success is about taking action not theory. 

So, taking action to achieve success is to be part of your life that will help bring your goals closer toward you.

You can only bring your desires toward you when you are willing to actively pursue them. If you are waiting for good things to drop from the sky, then get comfortable because you’ll have a long wait.

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably convinced yourself that you just don’t have enough time.

Whether it’s time to work on your business, work on new fitness goals, learn a new skill, or just about anything…

People often give up before they even start because they believe it’s just not possible to fit it into their busy lives. 

I often catch myself saying “If only I had more time!”

Be honest, how many times have you said that?

If you also catch yourself making that statement, that’s a red flag indicating that you are either not using time management strategies or the ones you are using are not working for you.

The truth is, we need to get control of how we use our time each day.

Six Things To Do Instead of Multi-task

Man Clutter

It’s a myth that multi-tasking is the answer to getting more done in the same number of hours. And it’s actually creating habits that cause you to mismanage time.

Although, some people can juggle a phone call and typing a report at the same time, don’t think that if you do three things at once, you’re being more productive.

Actually, you create more potential for making mistakes because your attention is divided in several ways. Nothing muddles time management worse than trying to multi-task.

The human body and mind have limits and those limits cannot be extended by multi-tasking. Rather than depend on multi-tasking as your strategy, look again at some of the tried and true time management principles.

Increased Success With Short-Term Thinking

Increased Success at www.xtreme-assistant.com

Everywhere you turn it seems that someone is touting the benefits of long-term thinking. If you’re too focused on long-term thinking, you lose sight of the increased success that you can find when you practice short-term planning.

What’s so sad is that too many people get advised to “think about the future” instead of living in the present. It’s important to have a healthy balance of long and short-term planning.

The long-term portion enables you to dream big and shoot for the stars. The short-term efforts allow you to see immediate progress and enjoy the steps you’re taking regularly.

Whether you jump in your car with a mug of coffee, battle traffic before you battle office politics, or you’re a stay-at-home mom, you know you don’t want to do it forever.

I get it!

I used to jump in the car and battle traffic for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening Monday through Friday.
