How to Have Energy to Be Productive
Have you ever had one of the those days when it feels as if you’re dragging concrete blocks around all day?
No matter what you try to do to get more energy – drink an absurd amount of caffeine, splash cold water on your face or jump up and down shaking your arms, nothing seems to work.
That’s because you’re too late.
The time to create energy is before you need it.
Here are five ideas for you to get more energy so you can be more productive.
GET MORE SLEEP
The experts recommend 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night.
Not sometimes.
Not whenever you can “fit it in”.
Every night.
Your body needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
There is a lot of research out there for how to get a good night sleep but instead of me summarizing it here, do yourself (and your productivity) a favor and go grab Arianna Huffington’s book, The Sleep Revolution (affiliate link). It’ll rock your world…and help you get the sleep your body needs.

How to F.O.C.U.S.
According to a 2015 study from Microsoft Corp., people generally lose concentration after eight seconds.
I read that last sentence out loud in what I consider average speed and it took me eight seconds.
Eight seconds is not a lot of time.
I decided to search what can be accomplished in eight seconds and I discovered that most people can tie a tie, run up 25 steps and insert their debit card into an ATM and enter their PIN.
I also discovered that I could throw our 16-month old and very active puppy her tennis ball to the other side of our yard and have her bring it back to me.
No matter how you slice it, eight seconds is not a lot of time.
But your attention (focus) is needed in order for you to be productive.
