Be more productive and successful : A simple guide - skrtja - 07-29-2018
Productivity and success, while considered from a readers perspective is largely either:
a. Unattainable
b. Loosely defined
These two terms are interconnected. Productivity is necessary for whatever you deem to be success. Think of it as fuel for the fire, and success is needed as a driver for your productivity.
Some people belittle themselves and consider themselves to be unsuccessful because they don't have a brand new car or the most attention. If you define your purpose, then reaching your goals will be of ease, than if you were to loosely define your goals. Think of a man running a marathon at night. He has a goal, to finish, but no direction. Direction is needed.
1. Set an overall goal or achievement that is overarching, long-term or even attainable within a couple of years.
2. Plan to reach that point with other checkpoints or smaller goals.
3. Utilize your time wisely. Limited time is given in a day and just like a harvest can either be fruitful, or bare. Learn from wasted days and intend to do better.
Wake up earlier and come to level with yourself. Is binge watching worth it? Or could that time be better utilized by watching an episode or two and then doing something else.
Is your hobby wasteful or justified because it brings you utility?
A guide is nothing but how someone sees a path through a maze.
Also, what is a productive tip you have for others?

Very well written and elaborated.
You're spot-on with this statement:

I've always stuck by my saying of "It's not the amount of workload that's the Issue, but more so how you manage It".

Thank you, this was mostly spurred off of an early morning caffeine dose. It helps make me get to work and also think.
