5 productivity principles that actually work - Video from Mark Manson ⏳️

There's so much generic productivity advice out there, but I find Mark Manson always brings a unique perspective to the table.

1) Work with Your Biology, Not Against It: Understand that different productivity advice works for different people. Listen to your body and find what works best for you, as this may change over time.

2) The Minimal Viable Action: To overcome procrastination, start with the smallest, most manageable action related to your task. Motivation often comes after taking action, so just getting started can help you keep going.

3) You Only Improve What You Measure: Tracking your progress is key to improvement but be cautious about the metrics you choose. They can sometimes lead to focusing on quantity over quality.

4) Don’t Fight Your Emotions; Leverage Them: Optimal productivity comes from working on things you care about. Passion drives you to work harder and overcome obstacles, so try to align your work with your interests.

5) More is Not Always Better: Putting in more hours doesn’t always lead to more output. Beyond a certain point, additional effort can lead to diminishing or even negative returns. It's important to recognize when to stop.

Communication Skills Cheat Sheet - Top Performer’s Guide to Communication 📜

According to LinkedIn, this is the #1 skill employers are looking for right now:

Communication skills.

And you don't need shiny credentials to build them,

You just need a bit of guidance and lots of practice.

Here are the 5 biggest mistakes I see in business communication:

1. Not Listening Actively: Being on your phone or multitasking

2. Information Overload: Providing too much unnecessary information.

3. Being Inconsistent: Underdelivering and not keeping your promises.

4. Talking Over Others: Interrupting someone in public or meetings.

5. Avoiding Tough Conversations: Delaying feedback or review sessions

Here 6 ways to level up your workplace communication:

1.  Plan Ahead - Outline key points before you speak to avoid confusion.

2. Confirm in Writing - Summarize key points and follow up in writing to make sure everyone is on the same page.

3. Give Regular Feedback - Give feedback regularly and don't put off important conversations.

4. Ask Open-Ended Questions - Encourage conversation by asking questions that need more than just a yes or no answer.

5. Keep Everyone in the Loop - Share updates with everyone involved to prevent misunderstandings.

6. Show, Don't Just Tell - Use examples to explain your point, rather than just relying on facts alone.

Improve your communication skills to take your career to the next level.
