5 Things That Affect Your Productivity
There are so many things that affect your productivity. In this post, I'm going to discuss five of the most common and give you suggestions on how to deal with each.
The people you hang around
Everyone is being influenced by people. Most of the time this happens on a subconscious level.
Take an inventory of who you hang around and ask yourself, are they:
- moving you toward your goals and dreams with positive encouragement and mentoring or
- pulling you away from them by encouraging you to "take it easy"
Follow people who are productive. Read their books or blogs, listen to their podcast, purchase their courses, join their communities, invest in them.
Suggestion: reduce the amount of time you spend with those that are not encouraging you to be a better you. This may not be easy but you may need to get rid of those who are dragging you down - even if they've been in your life for yours.
What you are consuming
You are consuming things all day, every day: news, social media, gossip....
