Ep 81: 5 Strategies To Boost Your Productivity, Achieve More And Be Happier - With Stoyan Yankov And YvG5O (Part 1)

Summary: Do You Feel Like A Hamster On A Spinning Wheel? Nowadays, many people seem to be busy, yet it doesn't look like they are achieving much. Or even if they do, by the end of the day, rather than feeling fulfilled, they feel exhausted - dreading the next day, where the endless circle of madness begin again. Do you feel like every day you chase your own tail, and it feels like no matter what you do, you'll never catch it? If yes, this program is for you! Is there a link between productivity and happiness? What does it mean to be productive in the first place? Is it the same as “being busy” or is “busy” just a buzzword that serves as an excuse to justify our lack of prioritisation skills?

Definitions Of Productivity From Our Lovely (And Sometimes Sarcastic ;-)) LinkedIn Crowd: Christopher Robin, Direct and Online Marketing at Sweet Leads. 15 trillion connections and counting, UK: Productivity isn't sitting in your pants all day, at your laptop, whimpering into a pot of yogurt that you purchased from the reduced food section at Tesco.  I'll make up for it tomorrow- it's what happens when I'm left in charge. According to Mark Wahlberg, it's productive to shower 3 times a day, eating blueberries and turkey at 3:30 am.  Productivity is that thing pirates do when they're in search of treasure. They look down their telescopes to correct their course and adjust their sails. Even if they just do it one time a day, it's progress and moving them a little closer to the treasure.   Ulrika Louisa (Hørman) Bjerregaard , Bjerregaard Solutions: Specialized HR, Recruitment & Communication agency based in Aarhus with an international outlook, DK: Getting things done that moves me closer to the goals I set. I always set milestones whether we’re talking a recruitment project/process or it’s the process of writing a book, I always divide the projects into steps. A stage divided plan ;-) if you will making it so much easier to accomplish what you want to do within a specific time frame. Achievement those milestones is productivity leading to a bigger picture   Reuben Shalome, ᔕEᑎIOᖇ GᖇᗩᑭᕼIᑕ ᗪEᔕIGᑎEᖇ Devourer of poor fonts #fontDEVOURER, New Zeland Well...it's all been said in the comments...so let's look at productivity on LinkedIn. Most people would call this getting leads. Getting clients. Getting your post out. In which case I'm not very productive. But if I influence one person to think differently. If I make 1 person smile or laugh out loud. If just 1 person engages with me in a DM or in the comments...then that's me having a productive day.   Jonathan Rock, MBA, Elearning Wizard, LMS Wrestler, Teachable Moments, US A person and a cough are productive in the same way, when they make something. Ha! Put that in your show.     Kotryna Kurt, Marketing / Personal Branding on LinkedIn / Video Content Creator / Marketer @ TimeXtender, DK Getting things done/ not being a mega procrastinator.   ———————————-- This is Part 1 of 3-parts program.
