Stop the Spiral: 5 Urgent Steps to Rescue Your Week from Unproductivity
Hey Supercharged Entrepreneurs, Ever had one of those DISASTER days where you get (almost) ZERO work done? That was my Wednesday. It started when I woke up 45 minutes late missing my 5am 'Needle Work' session. Or perhaps it started on Tuesday when I got to bed 45 minutes later. Maybe I was late to bed because I didn't meditate that day causing me to be more distracted.. And the day before I didn't eat enough calories leading me to feel sluggish and tired. And so. I hope you're getting the point. One day of unproductivity is usually down to failures further up the 'funnel'. Poor sleep habits, bad diet, dehydration, not meditating etc. So how do you bounce back and stop the 1 day of failure turning into the whole week? Here are the 5 Urgent Steps to Rescue Your Week From Unproductivity: Step 1: Accept First things first, acknowledge that you've had an off day. Accept it. Don't beat yourself up. Even the greats have their bad days. The difference is they don't let one bad day derail their entire week. Step 2: Analyze Sometimes bad days happen. Unfortunately it costs you because as an entrepreneur time IS money. Employees don't care if they have an off day. They get paid anyway. But as a Supercharged Entrepreneur, You MUST analyze what went wrong so you can stop it from ever happening again! Was it really just a late night, or is there something more? You need to dig deep and find the root cause of your unproductivity. Only then can you start to fix it. Step 3: Adjust Now that you know what's wrong, adjust your plan. If you missed your 'Needle Work' session, reschedule it. If you ate poorly, prep your meals. Make the necessary changes to your routine to ensure you're set up for success. I recommend using your Daily Action Planner and then get to bed EARLY so you're well rested for tomorrow. Step 4: Act Don't wait until 'tomorrow' to start your new plan. Begin with the next thing you can do, even if it's small. Remember, Action Begets Action!
