Caffeine for your productivity

By Danielle Dimond
Have you ever looked through your past "To Do" lists and realized you've had the same three tasks on there for a week or longer? Go ahead, take a look and see if you've been procrastinating something(s)! Maybe you aren't a procrastinator but someone in a slump in need of a productivity boost. I'm here for you my friend. I've got 3 steps for a little productivity caffeine shot!

1. Change Your Attitude Dude
Your attitude towards a task is the biggest hindrance of the satisfying check mark beside a finished task. Most of the time the problem with your problem isn't the problem. It's your attitude towards it! Take a few minutes to understand your reluctance and then find a way to shift your outlook.

2. Let It Go
If you have something on your list that you really hate to do, feel is a waste of time or makes you uncomfortable, consider the possibility that you should let it go. What if you let it disappear from your list? Is it necessary? Is it helpful? Does it bring joy to you or others? Perhaps it's something you can get rid of. If it's not, then repeat step one until you feel better about it.

3. Just Do It
I know, I know, it seems like a cop-out step but in all seriousness, a "To Do" list works best if you put the thing you least want to do, or the biggest thing right at the top and you do it first. You don't warm up with other small tasks (that's procrastinating), you don't save it for when you might want to do it. You JUST DO IT FIRST!! Then it's over with and you'll be bouncing along through your other tasks.
