PRAYER

2/23/2023

One of the key things I've incorporated into my productivity life is prayer. Prayer not for myself but for this world (I know, I'm in the world). I do share the gratitude for all things and those who are on this spinning globe. I also hope to have an open mindset as the day commences. You never know what it will bring you. I was in a borderline argument with someone early in the morning. It wasn't pretty. Shortly thereafter, I had a senior executive give me recognition on a call with thousands of people. People were hitting me up most of the day, but I kept thinking about the morning. I prayed (got on my knees) for the person I had a disagreement with. I dug deep (detective work) to find out that there was a hidden X (look for a future post on this topic) that had stressed them out and they were reacting. Most of us do some type of prayer or meditation each day. Doing it early and often gives you the foundation for a productive day. It allows you to weather your ups and downs and stay focused. Remember hit me up at info@winstonawilson.com if I can help you in any way.

This verse struck me hard.

LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY.

1/24/2023

Learn something ever day. That's it, end of post, LOL (Do people still say this?). This is a necessary piece of my (and perhaps your) productivity journey. What this means is that anything I learn that could conceivably help my life, I capture it. I use a couple of tools:

Evernote - ( it's web clipper and email to inbox tool are unsurpassed )
Apple Notes - The scanning ability has now become the most effective of any that I've used.

The key for me is not to just capture the item but to integrate into either a goal or a desire. The second key thing is to review it at a sensible interval. Once a year, I go through an audit my notes. I did the same thing when I captured things in paper journals.
Learning each day gives me energy. I literally feel my brain and the excitement, especially when it is something that is completely foreign to me. What gets you excited? Learning each day is the moment that I feel my mind and spirit in alignment.

MY WONDERFUL NIECE RUBY!

Productivity cocktail , mlk day.

I had originally planned for this to be my second series about how I'm handling productivity and MS but It felt better to talk a bit on how Martin Luther King Jr, has impacted my life.

BE GRATEFUL FOR (EVEN THE LITTLE) THINGS.

1/9/2023

I complained recently about getting a coffee mug that stays warm. i thought it was just another thing to plug in and clutter my desk. Anyone, that knows me knows that I like to keep my workspace as clean as possible. I did receive one ( thanks family )and it's been amazing and helps me keep going and focused. I also received a big bag on whole bean coffee that I grind a bit each day. I share this to let me and perhaps you know that gratitude comes in all forms and sizes. I would love if you find value in my productivity messages to sign up to our newsletters and private webinars. I know that this year will be wonderful. Let's all be grateful for the be small, medium, and big aspects of our life.

BE THERE

1/2/2023

This year (2022) was great. Yes it was filled with family and friends that passed or feel sick, but...there is no but. The great part is the opportunities and lessons that we should heed is clear as a bell. Be there for each other. The "Be there" is up to our personal interpretation. The only thing that i've learned is to just be there. This is hard for me on many days. As a personal productivity person, some of my things to do are rote, perfunctory, and ego focused. I've had to be intentional and incorporate this into my day. Here is my truth. When something happens to someone close to me, my "tasks" become subordinate. If you get a call, email, or text from me, I care about you. Give me some grace as I learn more about really "Being There". I believe that this being part of my intentionality will help me get better. Be there. Really there.

BREATHING.

11/17/2022

Each morning, I take several long breaths. The deep inward, hold for a four-six count, and deep exhalation. I find that this has a similar effect as when I consume a bunch of coffee. It also knocks the groggy feeling out quick. I like you have a ton to get done each day. What is one way to get you going in the A.M.?

EVERY DAY. FOCUS

11/16/2022

Productivity tip of the day. What are the three things you are looking forward to doing today? Do them ⭐️, When I journal, I list the three things that when accomplished will move towards my goals. There are other habits, that pop up (like take meds), but this helps me concentrate in a world of many potential distractions. The below is from the book I'm reading now from Tiago Forte.

A few minutes each day.

10/26/2022

Taking a few moments each day to capture what is important has been an important component of my life. It takes me all of fifteen minutes top. Sometimes it is structured (I use a template in Evernote). Other times it's just me writing what I'm grateful for and what I'm looking to in the day. I find that it gets me going and more productive. What do you do each day to get you going?
