35 Habits Productive People Use that Help You Get More Done (I Have 23) [Infographic]

What do productive people do to get that way? I know productivity isn’t everything in life, but it sure is important. A good friend of mine showed me this info-graphic recently. Her comment was “It made me think of you.”  I was surprised to find that I actually do 23 of the things listed here.

I can’t say that the whole list resonates with me, or that I would recommend them all.

As a coach I see several things on this list I use to work with clients. See if you can spot them. Be sure to check it out and see which ones can add value to your life.

Here my choice of top habits in each category.

• Tech: Use keyboard shortcuts. I do this a lot and it definitely cuts down the time different tasks take to accomplish on the computer.
• Clothes: Discard what you stop using. This made me smile. I like to do that because it makes room for new things I’d rather wear. It also cuts’ down the time you spend choosing what to wear.
• Hacks: Visualize your end product. This is an incredibly powerful tool, especially if you take the time to relax and connect with it.
• Body: Sleep more, you will get more done. The thing that makes this work for me is, I don’t stay up late or work after dinner. This makes it easier to get the 8 hours of sleep I need.
• Schedule: Set a daily routine. Ideally I start my day at 5 am with a morning routine of reading, listening to audio books, or journaling, a workout, reading online about topics related to my industry, breakfast, answering emails, and then off to work.
• Food: Eat healthy food. In addition to my meals I make sure I have plenty of healthy snack foods on hand.
• Mind: Focus on the important suppress the urgent. My weekly review and daily planning play a key role in identifying the important things I need to work on.
