2. BUSYNESS ≠
PRODUCTIVITY
The first step to becoming

3. SPEND MORE
TIME DOING.

02.
A seed grows in silence, in obscurity, but
a tree falls with a loud band. Battles are
not won in the field, they are won in
training grounds. Incubate, take some
time off, work on yourself. Regularly
update your knowledge base. The
modus operandi of yesterday may not
be effective or relevant in tomorrow’s
space. Evolve!

4. FOCUS ON YOUR
JOURNEY
@izyexcel
03.
The world is a giant puzzle, find where
your little piece fits in. Just like the
saying goes “Everything you see exist
together in a delicate balance” your
uniqueness is in your journey, focus on
it. The yardstick for measuring Success is
determined by what your journey is.

5. CELEBRATE
BRIEFLY
@izyexcel
04.
Victories are sweet, but they begin to
taste sour if eaten for too long. Cele-
brate briefly and then, move onto the
next. There are more battles to be
fought and won. Therefore, do not dwell
on one victory, you will lose relevance.

6. HAVE A GOAL
EACH DAY
@izyexcel
05.
Don’t be Spontaneous about life. Life is
what we make of it. Where do you see
yourself in 24 hours? Write it down,
follow it up. Iterate over the list, check
off successes, create new lists, rinse and
repeat.

7. TAKE
NOTES
@izyexcel
06.
Highly productive people make pens
and notebooks their companions. Wher-
ever you are, always be sure to carry
with you a notebook and a pen. Keep
sticky notes around, always take notes,
make use of planners, they help keep
you in check. You never can tell when a
billion dollar idea would drop in.

8. KEEP HEALTHY
ROUTINES
@izyexcel
07.
Sleep early, wake in the middle, and
finally, rise up early. Take at least 30
minutes off active work each day, not to
think, or anything, but to simply chill
out. Exercise, meditate, make space for
loved ones.

9. Navigating through life could be
exhausting; career, business, family,
religion, social life, etc. One must create
balance so that nothing is lopsided. If
possible, create a to-do list of people to
call, map out a particular time of the
day to interact with your family and
loved ones. Don’t lose sight of the things
that really matter.

10. PROTECT YOUR
MENTAL ENVIRONMENT
@izyexcel
09.
Spiritual
Psychological
Emotional
Your mental environment influences
your thought patterns, course of actions,
choice of words, and also, how you
respond to situations and life in general.
Keep the rubbish out!

11. EAT
HEALTHY
@izyexcel
10.
Food is the fuel our body needs to stay
active. Stay off excess caffeine, take
relevant supplements. Never skip break-
fast, don’t eat late, be mindful of where
you eat.

12. MAKE TIME YOUR
BEST FRIEND
@izyexcel
11.
The best time for anything was yester-
day, the next best time is now. He who
observes the weather will never sow.
Avoid procrastination. Set a timeline for
every course of action. Be punctual.

13. What distinguishes successful people
from mediocrists are those little details
that make the difference. Your results
show how productive you were. Produc-
tivity is also a function of how differently
you do things. Challenge the status quo.
Add a touch of excellence.
GIVE IT A TOUCH
OF EXCELLENCE
