Supercharge Your Productivity: Practical Tips to Maximise Productivity and Find Balance By Tracy Tutty
Do you wish you could accomplish more in your day without sacrificing your relationships or well-being? Read on for some powerful tools and strategies to supercharge your productivity and help you achieve your goals.
According to the Task Management Trends Report, workers spend only 53.3% of their time on productive tasks. The rest of the time is lost due to interruptions and distractions.
The first step to being truly productive is to understand that being busy doesn’t equate to being productive. We often celebrate being busy, but true productivity is about getting the important things done on time while maintaining balance in your life. It’s not about cramming more tasks into your day. It’s about creating space so you can get really clear on what matters most. It’s about being certain about what you’re delivering, why you need to do that thing ahead of all the other things, and when it needs to be delivered by. We experience a dopamine hit every time we get something done. That’s why many of us love a good to-do list. Boost your feel-good factor by breaking that deliverable down into bite sized pieces so that you get to feel great every time you tick those smaller tasks off.
Want to leapfrog the steps needed to deliver your outcome? Work on your keystone action first. A keystone action is that one task which makes everything else easier or it eliminates the need for other tasks. By identifying and prioritising the keystone action, you can streamline your workflow and achieve your goals more efficiently.
What about those days when you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Your mind has just one job, and that’s to keep you safe. Anytime you feel anxious or overwhelmed, you turn on the survival switch. Creativity and reasoning will shut down.
This is the time to regulate your nervous system rather than putting your head down and pushing through. It seems counterintuitive as you want to do anything other than rest up. That’s exactly what needs to happen. Pre-empt the overwhelm by scheduling in active recovery breaks, such as going for a walk or practicing deep breathing. This will calm your mind and help you to think outside the box.
To supercharge your productivity follow these key steps. Firstly, get clear on your desired outcome. Ask yourself, what is the one thing that matters most to me right now? Then identify the next right action that will propel you towards that outcome. Just do that next right action. Then when that action is complete and you’ve celebrated ticking it off your list, get clear on the next thing that matters most to you.
Do you have the energy necessary to fuel your productivity? Boost your energy by regulating your nervous system with active recovery techniques such as alternate nostril breathing, box breathing, a quick bounce on your rebounder, or my favourite – standing barefoot in the grass. Practice active recovery daily and you’ll be amazed at how much more sustainable energy is available to you.
Implementing these steps, can transform your productivity and provide a more fulfilling and successful week. So why wait? Take control of your productivity and start achieving your goals today.

Introduction
We all know the world is our oyster, right? We CAN have anything we desire in life and business, but often our inability to embrace our own worth / worthiness holds us back from achieving what we really want. In this article, contributed by Mandy Beverley, you’ll learn how embracing your own worth and value can help propel you forward.
Unlocking the Potential of Worth and Value: Shaping the path to success and fulfilment By Mandy Beverley
In the dynamic area of entrepreneurship and leadership women can face numerous external challenges, but oftentimes the biggest hurdle lies in their inability to recognise the profound benefits of coming to grips with their own worth and value. This can determine the trajectory of their success, influence and fulfilment. Just imagine if women stood in the unwavering self-belief. The picture begins to emerge of power, possibility and change, for herself, her business, her work and her family.
Let’s take a look at seven ways unlocking your worth and value can impact your life.
- Unlocking your potential. – when women believe in themselves, they unleash a spring of potential within themselves. They take initiative, set longer term goals and become more self-reliant. This internal shift enables them to tap into their strengths they didn’t even know they had, fuelling innovation, resilience and growth in their business.
- Increased confidence – embracing self-worth leads to a boost in confidence that is transformative. The new-found confidence permeates every aspect of business, from decision-making to networking, enabling women to navigate challenges with greater ease and conviction.
- Improved Decision-Making – With a solid understanding of their worth, women entrepreneurs make decisions aligned with their true value. They’re less likely to undervalue their services or settle for less, leading to more profitable and fulfilling business outcomes.
- Better Boundaries – knowing your worth fosters and maintains boundaries. Women leaders become skilled at saying no to situations that don’t serve their best interests, resulting in a healthier work- life balance and reduced overwhelm and resentment.
- Richer Relationships: A woman who knows her worth attracts relationships – both personal and professional- that respect and value her contribution. This leads to collaborative, mutually beneficial partnerships and a more supportive personal life.
- Heightened influence: A woman standing firm in her worth commands respect (from herself and others). She becomes a beacon of inspiration influencing others around her – be it employees, colleagues or other women entrepreneurs – to do the same.
- Greater fulfilment: Ultimately, knowing your worth and stepping into your power leads to a deeper sense of fulfilment. Women leaders and entrepreneurs who value themselves are more likely to pursue ventures and opportunities that align with their purpose and what they love to do. This extends beyond the conventional metrics of success.
Embracing your worth and potential isn’t just beneficial – it’s the key to unlocking a remarkable life and business.
