Optimising your productivity

Sustainability is not just about the environment but about people too - being productive while enjoying life and having time for yourself is importnat but seemingly increasingly harder in this day and age.

This link goes to a blog on habits of highly productive people.  Its makes for great reading and is timely as the academic year moves into a higher gear.  The habits covered in the blog are: 

1.  Meditate
2.  Optimize your morning ritual
3.  Visualize your ideal day
4.  Rest before you’re tired
5.  Get active during your breaks
6.  Work with intention
7.  Unplug
8.  Optimize your work set-up
9.  Learn to speed read
10. Be grateful
11. Practice optimal breathing
12. Ask for help

This set of ideas is of significant benefit to everyone trying to be productive - whether its study, in a paid work place, a stay at home parent, or life in general.  These tips will help help you optimize your day and improve outcomes and quality of life.

From my perspective the 'unplug' advice just on its own has made a huge difference.  I no longer take my laptop or iPad to bed.  They are now designated as office equipment only.  

Its about working smarter not harder - you pass this way but once so make sure  you make it a good one!
