Are you naturally a morning person? Or are you a night owl who comes alive at midnight and works well into the evening?

While there are many benefits to rising early, the real key is to find when you are the most productive and use that time to the fullest. 

5 Steps to Maximizing Your Productive Sweet Spot:

3. Are you naturally a morning person? Or are you a night owl who comes alive at midnight and works well into the evening?
4. While there are many benefits to rising early, the real key is to find when you are the most productive and use that time to the fullest.
5. Here are 5 steps for getting started:
6. Identify your ideal work environment.
7. Some people work well in a noisy coffee shop with a lot of noise around. Others prefer a quiet, or perhaps even silent, atmosphere.
8. Spend as much time as possible in your ideal work environment during your most productive time of day.
9. Embrace the “80/20 Rule.”
10. You need to focus on the most important tasks during your peak times. The bulk of your success comes from only a handful of the tasks you do.
11. One of the best ways to do this is to follow the 80/20 principle: You get 80 percent of your results from 20 percent of your efforts.
12. Delegate, eliminate & learn to say “no.”
13. Hiring help can free you up to focus on “sweet spot” activities— the tasks that energize you and that no one else can do quite like you.
14. There may be some tasks you can’t delegate. Determine whether or not that task really needs to be done. If not, then eliminate it.
15. Say no when a request is made or an “opportunity” is presented to you that doesn’t fit with what you know is best for you.
16. Focus on one thing.
17. Determine the “one thing” that is your most important business- related activity. This should be the primary focus of your workday.
18. The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan is based on the premise that your best results come from a consistent effort on a single activity. Click book cover image to learn more about the book!
19. Take back your work time.
20. If you’re still working a day job, your boss might define your priority tasks for you.
21. Try to approach your boss with a detailed plan regarding your most important tasks.
22. If you explain how spending time on these tasks can actually improve the company’s bottom line, you may be given a little more freedom to set your own priorities.
23. Let’s get started! Here is a simple action plan for maximizing your productive “sweet spot.”
25. Action Plan Identify your periods of peak productivity. Spend a week writing down the times of day when you feel most energized and productive. 1
27. Action Plan Identify your “one thing.” Examine your business closely to determine the #1 activity that produces the biggest results. 2
29. Action Plan Create a schedule around that one thing. Focus on completing the most important thing during your ideal work time, when you’re at a peak level of energy. 3
31. Action Plan Start the day with an important question. Ask yourself, “What’s the one thing I need to do today to consider this day to be a success?” 4
32. Ready for life-changing habits?
