How To Stay Productive In Times Of Chaos

During these past couple of months it has been very hard for most of us to stay productive.

The 3 main problems we face are

1. Lack of Focus - don't know what to prioritize so you do nothing.
2. Lack of Direction- all of this uncertainty has caused people to not know what's next
3. Lost In The Week- not knowing what day it is and everyday feeling like a lazy Sunday.

The solution to this is Regaining Momentum. When you lose the momentum you lose focus, direction, and will to move forward.

There are 3 Keys to regain and maintain momentum in these times of chaos.

The 3 Keys

1. Become Intentional- If you're not intentional with your days and life it makes it very hard to figure it out as you go. We've all heard the saying "When you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
2. Night Routine- When you're in a slump it's hard to get up in the mornings and KNOW what's next. This is why planning everything out the night before helps in eliminating decision fatigue in the mornings.
3. Don't Judge Yourself- During these tough times, it's easy to be hard on ourselves for not knowing what's next, for not doing what's "needed", and/or for failing to not act. But all this judgment only creates more stress and less action in your everyday life.

One thing that has helped me in all this has been the books, Stillness is the Key and Deep Work. Also the High-Performance Planner

Hope this helps you not only get back on track but Thrive In The Chaos!
