How To Create A Productive Mindset
Productivity is an almost elusive idea that we’re all chasing. Sure, one person’s method may not work for another. Do “To Do Lists” actually ensure productivity? Well, whatever the method, it’ll only work if you have the right mindset. Here’s how to create a productive state of mind:
Stop Self-Sabotaging
Fortunately, a lot of productivity is simply rooted in your self-belief. No, of course you won’t get anything done if you believe yourself to be incapable of doing it. Are you letting yourself get overwhelmed at the thought of that big project? Do you only view yourself as a person who can’t get up early? Well, it’s all in the mindset. You are what you believe yourself to be. The first step towards a productive lifestyle? Believe it can happen.
Leave room for distractions
Yup, you should actually let your mind roam free in order for it to buckle down when it needs to. Why? Because otherwise you’ll get consumed in stress and overthinking. Thus, you may paralyze yourself before taking any productive actions. Instead, leave room for breaks, just to relax and even be a little lazy. Don’t burn yourself out - that is not productive.
Don’t get too attached to end results
Of course, always aim for the best you can be. However, the more you focus on just the end result, the more disappointed and impatient you’ll get in the moment. Instead, make sure your motivation comes from desiring improvement, not just your end goal. Any improvement is a step closer, and it’s an achievement on it’s own.
Don’t think too much
Yes, you do need to plan and organize. But once that’s done, don’t overthink it. Sometimes, a productive mindset just comes from simply taking action. So what if a thousand things could go wrong? So what if you don’t finish by the end of the day? Just get started and ease into a focused workflow. Good things will happen.
