9 Productivity Tips to Maximize Your Life

Tip # 1 Squeaky Wheels

Find and destroy the things that stand between you and the things you want to accomplish. It really is a matter of not what but which ones. Productivity deals with the how part of the Power Time Management System. Time Management is the "what" and "when", Productivity deals with the how, the action part.

Squeaky wheels are the tasks, jobs, and activities that we do each day. What we want to do is take the one that is causing us the most lost time; the most stress, the most anxiety, and make it our number one priority. To get ahead of the curve, to eliminate the activities in our lives that wreck havoc on us, we need to invest some time to deal with them. We find ourselves in a circle that keeps us from achieving more things in our lives than we are now.

The circle goes something like this: we are rushed, running around, not organized, and because of this, we are not getting what we want done. We get frustrated and stressed out, we make matters worse, not better.

The more stressed and rushed we are, the less we get done; its self-fulfilling prophecy. How do we break out of the cycle? We take what is in most short supply; our time, and we slowly invest it in correcting the things that cause us the most aggravation: the squeaky wheels. It makes sense to work at the things that cause us the most grief and aggravation, and work our way down from there.

How long will it take you to pick out something that is in your regular routine? What would not benefit from an infusion of time and resources? 10 minutes? Less? This is how getting production out of ourselves starts; we think and plan our way, not work our way, to getting more done in less time and with less effort and a whole pile less stress and anxiety. Nobody ever worked psychically harder at getting maximum production out of themselves and the ones around them. They thought, planned and executed better their way to accomplishing more.

The value of Power Time Management System is how it deals with attacking production issues and problems from the standpoint of out-thinking the problem, not trying to out work it.
