www.GiveForward.com Like most people there is not a single tool that can do it
all. Since I love taking notes on paper in meetings, my system for keeping track
of all of my to-do's is a hybrid approach. I star all to-do's as I'm writing them,
then enter them into Asana and highlight them in my notebooks once they've
been entered. That way, if I'm in a meeting, I can quickly find them in my

notebook, and I still get the annoying but necessary email reminders. I'm also a
firm believer in time-boxing. I don't check email all of the time. I do it during
set periods in the AM and PM. I reserve 5-8 PM for my husband and children,
and I never check email after 9pm.

www.jackboydogbakery.com The key to time management, especially for an
entrepreneur, is managing one's emotion. Each day entrepreneurs are bombarded
with problems, pressing matters to take care of, demands from every where and
unexpected events. Being able to manage one's emotion, to not react to
circumstances, not to be upset by outside forces so he or she can focus on the
goal and task at hand, is the main ingredient in time management, hence staying
productive. All the tools, todo lists or apps are no use if one cannot stay
emotionally solid.

celebrate all happy, loving and fun lifetime memories with their dogs through
healthy and delicious dog treats.

www.CreativeWebBiz.com My best productivity tip goes a bit deeper than that
of most other entrepreneurs because to me productivity is mainly a tool to
achieve empowerment. Let me explain: Why do we all want to be more
productive? Because being more productive empowers us to make our
businesses more effective, impactful and financially successful. And real,
authentic empowerment comes from aligning our unique personality with our
vision, purpose and goals. As entrepreneurs we are usually clear on where we
want to go and what we want to achieve. But too often we try to emulate our
highly successful role models to get there without taking our own individual
personality into account. To do so, you need to figure out what makes you tick.
Are you a morning person or a night owl? If you are the latter, there is no use in
trying to get work done at 6 am in the morning, no matter what you read in that
blog post or heard on that podcast. Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Create a
work environment that speaks to that character trait. Noise canceling head
phones can do the trick if you need it quiet, a busy cafe or office is the way to go
if you thrive on human interaction. Vegetarians will need different food to feel

productive than carnivores, nature lovers might join a entrepreneurial hiking
group on meetup.com group instead of attending a traditional networking event.
So to get more productive, all you need to do is to get to know yourself, accept
yourself and accommodate your own personality traits, no matter how quirky
they might be.
