On Becoming Productive Through Persuasion
Kenrick Cleveland
One of the bonuses of learning to persuade is that we have the ability to work our skills on ourselves. When we apply self-persuasion, we can naturally accomplish anything we set our minds to.
Setting the stage to be productive requires a few simple and practical activities whereby we increase our capacity to achieve results. For some, these mindsets come easier than for others, but they are all quite do-able. If you persist, you will progress.
The first one is easy (though sometimes time constraints don't allow for it), and that is getting enough sleep. Sleep allows our brains and cells to recharge, repairing, rejuvenating and cleansing our minds and bodies.
If you are most productive at night, maximize that. Stay up a little later and get stuff done. Pay attention to those internal rhythms because there's no sense in getting up early to do something that will take twice as long if you can half that time by doing it when you're at your peak. If you're a morning person, go to sleep twenty minutes before you normally would and wake up twenty minutes earlier to accomplish what you need to. The key is to be awake during your peak time.
The next two bits of advice may seem as if they'll take up a lot of time, but I assure you, the energy and vibrancy you will get in exchange for that investment of time will more than make up for it in all aspects of your life. Exercise and proper nutrition. Sure, easier said than done. I get that. I know junk food is delicious. I know it's hard to get up and exercise. But the combination of these two things will give you a huge array of benefits, from better sleep (!) to a better quality of life.
As creatures of habit, we do the next step instinctually. Creating a routine helps with both starting a new, healthy habit and eliminating an old, unhelpful habit. Success comes about as a result of your intention. We've all been in ruts and know that they have a negative frame attached to them. I'm not suggesting we all get ourselves in ruts where we can't see the forest for the trees. I am suggesting that we learn to do certain things without thinking--like taking your vitamins or starting the day out with a light and sound session, or working on your universes or expressing gratitude for the good things that come to you. These are all routines that have a positive impact on us.
And lastly, you must create a stress free environment especially if your work requires a certain amount of stress. If you have constant deadlines or are rushing from meeting to meeting, you have got to make sure there are places in your life when you can decompress. Sleep is not enough. Try taking up a hobby or learn to meditate or pray or spend some quiet time in nature, playing golf -- whatever pleases you -- in order to unwind.
Incorporating these five steps into your life will boost your productivity, not to mention your health, well being, and peace of mind.
