How to push through and be productive



This blog post is in response to Natalie's 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 5.


What makes you most productive? For me, it starts with getting myself centered and grounded. If I am missing one or both of these, I tend to have a wandering mind that causes procrastination and lowers my productivity.

Today Natalie asked to set up a daily routine that would bring optimum productivity to your career or passion. Here's what I came up with --


  • Start by doing a centering and grounding meditation
  • Grab a cup of tea, glass of water, or something to stay hydrated
  • Go to a place where you feel you will be most productive. Sometimes it's at your house, other times it is at a coffee shop. Feel what is right and do that
  • Once settled, write down the intentions for the time period dedicated to the project
  • Begin working, trying to stay away from distractions (social media, I'm talking about you)
  • When feeling anxious or mind starts to wander, close eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out. Analyze if it can be pushed through or if a break is needed
  • Take breaks when necessary. Don't overstretch because it will lead to burnout
  • When time is up, or the tasks are done, pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you did and how you focused
  • Celebrate these times dedicated to productivity, passion projects, and enhancement. They are pushing you toward your dreams!
