Career Talk: Learn - Grow - Thrive show

Summary: <p> Productivity is my jam!    </p> <p>When we are looking at how do we become more productive, a good starting point is listing out (separate lists), what are the lists we absolutely have to do every day, week, month and year.   </p> <p>For example, for monthly, what are the things you’ve done this month to add to your annual review.    </p> <p>As a recruiter I have 8 things on my to do list every single day.  For example, review all of the direct applies, look at LinkedIn messages, etc.    </p> <p>Every week I update a report and follow up with candidates in process if I haven’t talked to them yet that week.    </p> <p>Write the lists out of the things you absolutely have to do every day, every week, every month and every year.   </p> <p>Under those absolute must dos, underneath draw a line and add the things we should do.   </p> <p>Then add another line and add everything that would be great to do.   </p> <p>So there are 3 sections:  </p> <ul> <li>Absolute must be done </li> <li>Should be done </li> <li>Would be great if I got this done </li> </ul> <p>Then create time blocks on your calendar to get those items done.  I</p> <p>f you absolutely need to schedule a meeting during your blocks, move it, still keep the time.   </p> <p>Also another thing that has been very helpful for me is to batch your tasks.        </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Paypal:  </strong></p> <p><a href="paypal.me/stephdennis13%20">paypal.me/stephdennis13 </a>  </p> <p><strong>For show notes go to: </strong></p> <p><a href="http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/">http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/</a>   </p> <p><strong>To work together:  </strong></p> <p><a href="http://listentocareertalk.com/">listentocareertalk.com</a>    </p> <p><strong>For the Google Survey:  </strong></p> <p><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1">https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1</a>   </p> <p><strong>To connect:  </strong>  </p> <p>Instagram:  </p> <p>@stephdennis13    </p> <p>@careertalkpodcast</p> <p>Facebook: </p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/stephdennis13">www.facebook.com/stephdennis13</a>   </p> <p>Twitter:  @stephdennis13      </p> <p><strong>You’re awesome!!    </strong></p> <p><strong>Go be your amazing self today!!! </strong></p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/s/a1293a0/podcast/sponsor/acugkf/url/https%3A%2F%2Fanchor.fm%2Fapp">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/careertalk/message
