I think that way too much
is made out “productivity”
methods and hacks.

More often than not,
it's just a great way to
sell you some software
that promises to keep
you organized.

But that software takes
time to learn, and time
to work on.

So I don't know how
truly productive that
makes you?

In many ways, it just
keeps you busy “planning”
to be productive, rather
than actually being productive.

I do have one tool
that I use called Trello.

It's free and you should
check that out.

It really helps me
organize things.

But it doesn't make
me more productive.

Another thing that
the productivity business
does is to help a lot of
consultants sell their services.

They promise to make
you more productive if
you hire them.

Basically what they do is...
they tell you every day
what to do.

But I think that it gets
way too complicated.

The best things in life
are simple.

And the simple truth is
that the most important
part of productivity is profitability.

I mean, you want to be
productive so your business
brings in profit, right?

Otherwise, what good
is to be producitve?

So back to simple.

Simple productivity
in my world, means
to have one main thing
I need to get done in order
to make my online business
more profitable.

So how can you structure
your time to become more
productive in order to
become more profitable?

Well, if you're working
your online business or blog
on a part-time basis, like you
have a job that you go to all
day and you just do this
in the evening…
then you should have
a weekly productivity goal.

And that should consist
of one thing.

And ONE thing only.

That's the one main thing
that you need to do this
week to move your
business forward
(ie., more profitable).

If you're working the
business full-time, then
you should do the same
ONE thing but on a daily basis.

Every day I wake up I and
ask myself what is THE
most important thing that
I need to do today.

Actually, let me correct that.

I usually do it at night,
just before I go to bed.

That way I wake up and
I immediately know exactly
what I have to get into.

Now that doesn't mean
that you don't do other things.

It means that nothing else
is going to get done until
you do that ONE thing.

That way every single day
(or week) - your business
moves forward.

That's how to become productive
and that's how to become profitable.

So what's the most important
thing that you need to do today
(or this week) to move your
business forward?

let me know.

I'll see if I have some
suggestions to help you out.
