Suppose you don't want to be productive...for whatever reason. Well, you're in luck. In this satirical video, I give 5 strategies that assist in taking your productivity not to the next level...but to a lower level.

Everyone wants to be more productive. At least, that’s what many people I’ve come across say. 

Do they really?

And assuming the answer to that last question is yes, then do they know how?

In this article, I share nine factors that will increase your productivity almost immediately. All you have to do is implement them. 

Let’s get to it.

Factor #1

The quality and quantity of sleep. Experts recommend 7-9 hours of sleep every night. I highly recommend Arianna Huffington’s book, The Sleep Revolution. It will rock your world. People who get enough quality sleep are more productive than those who do not.

Factor #2

Be sure you are doing WHAT you love to do WHERE you love to do it. If you love what you do but you hate the long commute, your boss, your co-workers, the paint on the walls, whatever…you’ll never be the most productive version of yourself.

Note: the WHERE may involve going out on your own.

Factor #3

Distractions are everywhere.

Social media.

Email.

Text/instant messaging.

People.

Entertainment (television, video games, etc.)

Life (traffic, construction, dogs barking...the list goes on).

Distractions also come in many different flavors.

But a distraction you might not have thought about is the topic of this article: you or your mindset.

Yes, you could be getting in your own way of getting things done. Of being productive.

Here are FIVE ways your mindset is hampering your productivity and what to do about each.

Distraction #1: NEGATIVITY

Negativity is everywhere these days.

Complaining. Anger. Hatred.

The fact is: negativity affects your productivity more than you realize.

What to do

Intentionally begin to be more positive. Think positive thoughts, speak positive or edifying words to others and yourself.

Smile! It's difficult to be negative and smile.

Avoid being around negative people as much as you can.

Don't read negative stuff online or get involved in stuff that makes you...

If you want to be a more productive version of yourself, it's important that you intentionally set yourself up to be so.

Here are FIVE BIG ideas for doing that.

No. 1 SLEEP

How much sleep are you getting every night?

Experts recommend 7-9 hours. Yes, in a row!

If you want your mind to be completely blown, I highly recommend Arianna Huffington's book, The Sleep Revolution.

I know you might think you can get by on less than the recommended 7 to 9 hours sleep but the experts are saying that's not true. Your body works very hard when you're sleeping.

Setting yourself up for success starts before you even go to bed. What do I mean by that?

What does your bedtime routine look like?

Everybody talks about a morning routine but what's your bedtime routine? Do you even have one? How do you transition from your day to going to sleep?

Arianna Huffington recommends cutting off screen time at least 60 minutes before you go to bed (read a print book or a magazine), making your room cool and...
