Power Periods Make For Great Productivity My favorite is: Power Periods Because: Set aside one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon for un-distracted, uninterrupted time to knock out a big project.

What are the key projects to be completed this year?   Completing projects and tasks is harder than ever for most of my clients.    So, the next time you have a project that is important consider the following: Block the time on your calendar.    Then, work on your project fully focused.

  Do you find yourself jumping from one project to another?    One day it is one project and then the next day a different “ bright shiny object ” comes into view and we switch off to that.    We are so busy jumping from project to project that we never really complete any of them. .

  By grabbing a small project (for example, an article that you want to read) and working on it for a short period of time, you take a few minutes away from the work that was putting you into an afternoon coma-like state.    You also release serotonin/happiness/excitement as you finish a project.

You should become an authority in your field, deliver outstanding service with every project, and stay up-to-date in your chosen specialty. You have many options: landline, cellular phone, texting, fax line (yeah, many people still fax), email, website contact form, Twitter direct message, LinkedIn message, Skype, and lots more.

I’ve turned down a few projects because I knew they were scams or they used unethical tactics. As a rule, I can work for about 3 hours on one project before getting a little loopy, so I move on to something else in the afternoon. James: Think back to a project when you’d done a really great job – an awesome job.

I stand back, and begin moving notes until the ideas start flowing into easy categories: Blog, Projects, Home, Family, Health - etc. The most important fact to think about is 'what do I need to do next' By short-sighting yourself, you can take each step one-by-one without the chaos of the bigger project in your sights.
