How to Spend the First 30 Minutes of Your Day to Maximize Productivity

How to Spend the First 30 Minutes of Your Day to Maximize Productivity | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it

As entrepreneurs, we often work late into the night, only to roll out of bed the next morning, picking up where we left off. One day bleeds into the next, making it seem as if we're always doing, doing, doing and searching for new and novel ways to do more.

 

The truth is, your desire to do more and get more done will lead you not toward greater productivity, but toward burnout, if you don't take time each day to check in with yourself, and set your intention for how you want your day to proceed.

 

 

Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying, "If I had six hours to cut down a tree, I'd spend the first four sharpening the axe." There is no evidence to suggest that Lincoln actually said this, but the point is not lost on us. How we prepare to do the task before us determines our success.

How you spend your morning makes or breaks your day.

Lucero D's curator insight, September 15, 2017 8:24 AM
Well, I've just wasted my morning.  From the moment I get up my day begins with making sure everyone else has what they need to get out the door.  Even taking a few minutes to go the bathroom seems like an imposition.  The rest of the day I'm exhausted, can't focus and feel like all I'm doing is spinning my wheels.  Maybe there is something to caring for yourself first that will make the day go better.

"The truth is, your desire to do more and get more done will lead you not toward greater productivity, but toward burnout, if you don't take time each day to check in with yourself in quiet contemplation of how to bring your best self forward.

What If Schools Created a Culture of "Do" INSTEAD of a Culture of "Know?"

What If Schools Created a Culture of "Do" INSTEAD of a Culture of "Know?" | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it
Here at Educon yesterday, I had the chance to learn a bit more about design thinking from David Jakes. David's central point was that schools and teachers often get stuck in a "Yeah, but..." mindset when thinking about change.

 

Of course, we'd have to work to take active steps to redefine almost everything about our schools if a culture of "Do" is really going to be possible. 

 

===> Grading will need to change -- from a focus on content mastery to a focus on demonstration of an ability to apply content in novel situations <===

Do These 5 Emotionally Intelligent Things Within 5 Minutes Of Meeting Someone

Do These 5 Emotionally Intelligent Things Within 5 Minutes Of Meeting Someone | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it

What’s the point of networking if not to get other people to like you? Sure, you need new contacts to see you as interesting, competent, professional, and potentially valuable to them—but if they don’t also find you likeable, nobody will feel motivated to reach out later and work with you.

 

The reason why all comes down to emotional intelligence, the set of skills and qualities that allow people to form deeper, closer relationships with others. Likability is a key ingredient in that, and its career benefits are pretty obvious. For instance, being likeable—and liking your coworkers in return—can increase your chances of getting promoted.

 

But when it comes to first impressions, you don’t always have much time to get people to like you. So here are a few straightforward things that the most emotionally intelligent people do to cement their likability from the get-go.

Being instantly likable isn’t rocket science, but this checklist takes practice to master in the short space of a first impression.
