3 Exercises To Improve Effectiveness

Effectiveness is a little-used term when discussing personal development. To improve effectiveness know what it means.

We usually think of being efficient, or managing time well, or being focused. Being effective concentrates on doing things correctly.

Follow these tips to improve your effectiveness.

Carry Watch/Time Yourself

An alarm clock wakes up your thoughts.

Since timing my tasks things have flowed smoothly. I used to overwork, killing my effectiveness since I became burned out. Now I find the ideal balance between work and rest, leading to....

Rest Each Hour

I break for 15 minutes every hour. A still, relaxed mind produces creative ideas.

Getting caught up in a competitive "I need to outwork the other guy" mindset happens when rest periods are ignored. Don't think you can do this, because you can't. Take 5 - 15 minutes off each hour to recharge your thoughts.

Keep Your Vision Front And Center

....or you steer off course.

While breaking I paint a clear picture of my vision for a few minutes.

I then move into action toward the vision during my 45 minute work period. Works beautifully.
