Here is a simple but profound plan to immediately multiply your productivity. Don’t let the simplicity fool you. I’m not talking about doing more activity – more work in less time. I mean more accomplishment – more productivity (results, money, goal attainment)… all while living a much more stress free and carefree existence with more time for family, fun and hobbies.
051 – Success Q&A Coaching Call on Pursuing Your Passion and Achieving Your Dreams
Here’s a 5-point Superachiever Productivity Plan for you… this is what I do. No. 1 – Plan tomorrow today. Jim Rohn taught me, “Don’t start your day until it is finished on paper.” And the best time to do this is the day before. This is an important and many times not so easy-to-keep discipline. The last thing I do before I shut down for the day, by routine, is to review and complete the plan for the following day. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes. What you don’t want to do is wake up and then figure out what you should be doing—it’s way too late by then. Chances are the rest of the world will have decided what it wants you to do and it will control your day, instead of you. You will be reacting instead of creating. The 5 Keys to Finding the Right Coach
Let me take you through that simple planning process, since the key to brilliant execution is always brilliant planning. That takes us to… No. 2 – Review, or establish if you don’t already have, your BIG 3. These are your top three goals for the year. Not 100 goals, or 10 goals; it’s critical you focus them down to just your BIG 3 – your top and most important goals. The kind of goals that if you only accomplished those three you would undoubtedly have your best year ever. This review and focus process is important to calibrate and align point number three… No. 3 – Identifying your 3 MVPs—your three Most Valuable Priorities: those few activities that are worth five to ten times the value of all the rest of the tasks for the

day. “If you have more than three strategic priorities, you don’t have any.” —Jim Collins No. 4 – Now that you have your 3 MVPs, take your calendar for tomorrow and chunk. This is where you block out chunks of time on your calendar to specifically work your 3 MVPs. What doesn’t get scheduled doesn’t get done. Additional Tip: During these important time chunks, clear the potential distractions. Put yourself in a “cone of silence.” Turn off your phones, your email, your Facebook, Twitter or anything else that can reach you. Also shut your door; you don’t need to have an open-door policy all the time. There is a time for intensely focused, undisturbed productive work. I put a sign on my door that says when I will be available next. This way if someone

comes looking for me, I am not just simply unavailable; it is clear when I will be available next. No problem. If you find keeping the distractions away from you difficult then maybe do what I do often – go somewhere where you can’t be found and is away from your typical addictive distraction traps. I will go to a library, to a colleague’s unused conference room or even in my car parked at the beach or in a park. I am amazed at how much creative work I get done when I separate from my normal environment, which is full of distraction devices and temptations. Now that you have your BIG 3 goals reviewed, your 3 MVPs aligned to them and your time chunks allocating to executing on those MVPs, we can now discuss what to do tomorrow. No. 5 – The very first thing you should do when you enter the office – don’t check email, don’t sort your mail, don’t review the morning news – lick your chops and Eat That Frog (the title of Brian Tracy’s best selling book). Take the nastiest but most important priority of the day, and eat it first. Spend 90 minutes in your cone of silence doing nothing but executing, with complete and uninterrupted focus, on your most important priority… for 90 minutes straight. No more, no less.
