13 Things That Ruin Productivity
Be mindful and focused
Are we our own worst enemy when it comes to damaging our productivity or is something or someone else making us as ineffective as a garden hose at a 4-alarm fire?
What is going on during our day that is keeping us from being useful to others and fulfilled with what we are doing?
Imagine if this happened every day:
We roll out of bed at noon, scratch our eyes, and wish we hadn’t drunk that last glass of wine or binge-watched Stranger Things, Seasons 1–4 in one night. We work best in the mornings, but after the night we had there was no way we should expect to do anything this morning.
After an entire pot of coffee, we decide to look for something to eat because it is, after all, lunchtime. There was no food, so we grab a doughnut and head to the coffee table in the living room to open the laptop and try to work.
We sneak the remote as soon as we sit on the soft cushions because we saw there were episodes of The Sandman as we were turning off the TV last night.
We know we have three blog posts that need to be done by 5:00 pm, but first, we have to check our notifications and email in case we missed something when we scrolled through social media for an hour in bed this morning.
