A Not-So-Hidden Obstacle to Your Productivity

When it comes to obstacles to getting things done, what comes to mind? Other people (co-workers or family members!)? Where you work and who you work for (management)? What’s going on in the world (weather, news, gossip)? Technology? But are you getting in your own way? It’s so easy to blame other people and things, but could you be part of the problem? In most - if not all - cases, the answer is yes. How to get out of your own way Acknowledge and accept your shortcomings. You can’t know or do everything. Learn to harness the power of: - Outsourcing - Delegating - Eliminating Know your limits. - Be cognizant of frustration, fatigue, anger, or however else you want to label this. Take breaks. - During the day. Especially when you are frustrated. - Take a weekend off. - Get away with your family. - Remember to breathe. DON'T FORGET: your success does not define who you are. If you think it does, think again.   If you’re looking to take your productivity to the next level or if you are interested in bringing me in to speak at your event, visit MarkStruczewski.com.   Join The 7 Day Productivity Challenge or go to MarkStruczewski.com/7day   Follow me: LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Facebook   If you love the show, share it with a friend on Apple Podcasts.
