Productivity Efficiency
I think it’s time we stop seeking more productivity. It’s too much work! I prefer being more efficient and effective. 
Here are a couple of ideas that will help:
1) Say “No” to meetings if possible. If you must, keep them short and sweet.
2) Delay paying attention to incoming communication. It’s nothing more than somebody else’s to-do list. Do your stuff first.
3) Daily interruptions will never go away. You may as well expect and plan for them.
4) Only schedule up to 50% of your day. This will give you more time for unexpected events.
5) No more multi-tasking. Finish one task before the next. 
The fastest way to be more productive is to make your ‘Did I Do It’ list as short as possible.

How To KNOW You Are a Success
Have you ever had a crazy day that involved putting out fires and wondering when it would be time to go home?
And did I mention you were doing what you love and want to be doing successfully?
Why is it that life gets crazier when things go well?
There’s a simple answer.
No matter what you do, your life will change when enough people begin paying attention to you.
Some folks will love you. Some will hate you. 
Others won’t have an opinion but will say something anyway. 
Many will be jealous. Lots will be proud. 
It doesn’t matter what you do. You will know when you have succeeded when lovers and haters come out to play simultaneously. Focus on the lovers.

Stop Driving Yourself Crazy 
Whatever you desire in your life, everything starts as a thought. It will demand your attention.
You have three options:
1) Deny it and keep moving.
2) Do it - put it into action.
3) Delay it and drive yourself crazy.
Deny it. Do with it. Delay it. The quality of your life will be a result of your choice.

You Don’t Need Plan B
Have you ever wondered how the most successful people in the world get that way?
Could it be their timing is right?  
Do they “know” somebody? 
Luck? That’s it. They get lucky!
Maybe, but I think there is more to it.
Every person I’ve ever known who achieved remarkable success did three things:
1) They recognized what they wanted and envisioned themselves living that life.
2) At some point, they commit and go all in. Their dream IS going to happen. There is no “Plan B.” 
3) They practice never-ending flexibility and perseverance regardless of what gets in the way.  They keep going until they get what they want.
Yes, it seems that you must pay a price for living the life of your dreams - and it's not money. It's YOU!

There is Always a Way
When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?  
I used to be that way. Something changed.
I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:
1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by others, but they still have nothing to do with me. 
2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always… always… always. You may not like the path, your ego may get in the way, or it may scare you, but there is always a way.
The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want. Find it.

Living Your Default Mode
Would you like to make life easier for yourself and everybody around you?
It’s time to establish a “Personal Default Mode.”
Success in all areas of life smooths out when you know what to expect of yourself. It gets better when others know what to expect of you.
A “Personal Default Mode” is a consistent way of acting in different areas of your life. For example:
1) How do you respond to stress?
2) What happens when you don’t get what you want?
3) Is there a behavior you expect from others? Do they know it?
Most things run on autopilot when you understand how you handle day-to-day situations.
