Productivity
Hacks!
Keep A Journal
1
Journals provide clarity of mind, develop your
writing skills, and help you set goals.
“Please read my diary, look through my things and figure me
out.” -Kurt Cobain
Set Short And Long Term Goals
2
If you do not define your yearly, monthly, and weekly
goals…how will you know if you’ve achieved them?
Do not rely on memory.
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or
things.” -Albert Einstein
Sleep & Wake-Up Early
3
Save the “midnight oil”, and wake up fresh and early
in the morning instead -it will pay off in every way.
“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy,
and wise.” -Benjamin Franklin
Meditate
4
Breath properly, have the right posture, live in the
present, and let go of insignificant worries hurting
your creativity and productivity.
"It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to
evil ways. " -Buddha.
Morning Walk
5
An early morning stroll will clear your head,
stimulate your senses, direct your focus, and even
keep you fit.
“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking” -Friedrich
Nietzsche
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
6
If you are not expanding your mind, then you are
dying. Challenge your brain and body: electrify your
neurons!
“Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its
original dimensions.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes
Avoid Mass Media
7
Mass media appeals to the masses precisely
because it requires little mental energy –avoid it like
the plague!
“...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed,
our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.” –
Edward Bernays
Be A Contrarian
8
Avoid sheep-behavior. Think for yourself. Don’t let
others decide or define reality for you. Make your
own connections!
“The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.” -Ayn
Rand
Exercise
9
Exercise provides you with the extra stamina and
energy required by your productive brain. Added
bonus: Meeting new people!
“I think that making love is the best form of exercise” – Cary
Grant
Read
10 Learning through reading is probably one of the best
ways to feed your imagination and make you more
productive –you can even read how to be
productive!
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The
more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” ― Dr. Seuss
Drink Water
11 The average adult human body is 65% water,
meaning it is essential to our proper functioning. The
benefits to your productivity and health are many -
productivity is just one of them!
“Water is the driving force in nature.” -Leonardo da Vinci
Drink Caffeine
12 It will increase your alertness, wake up your senses,
improve your productivity, creativity and even short-
term memory!
“Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one
could not live.” – Honoré de Balzac
Brainstorm!
13 The benefits of brainstorming can be fantastic.
Embrace sufficient different ideas and the right one
is sure to come very soon!
“It is easier to tone down a wild idea than to think up a new
one.”- Alex Osborn
Calendar & Scheduling
14 Keep a calendar to schedule meetings, goals,
projects, and even you email and social networks to
reduce wasted time.
“Yesterday is but a dream, Tomorrow is only a vision. But today
well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and
every tomorrow a vision of hope.” – Sanskrit
Be Productive Outside the Office
15 Assuming you do love your job, then why waste the
weekends? Use them to catch-up on reports,
tutorials, and other material related to your field.
“Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today.” -Thomas
Jefferson
