Just a few quick tips that will help you get more done in less time and achieve greater productivity and success.  How do I know they work?  Because they work for me!  By using these simple tips, I have freed up more time and increased my sales, easily.  If I can do it, you can too!

1.  Set 5 one-on-one appointments. Whether by email or telephone, contact 5 people to meet them for a soda or for lunch.  Pick from past clients, current clients, networking contacts, business partners or vendors, and prospects.

2.   Do a brain dump. Take a few minutes and write down every incomplete task or “to do” that’s on your mind.    Unfinished business clouds your mind and decreases our productivity.  The key is that you must write it down for this to be effective.

3.  Set your goals/priorities for the week. After you’ve done the brain dump, then pick 3 goals and priorities for the week and write them down as well.  Realize where you actually focus your time versus where you need to be focusing your time will boost your productivity as well.
