How I Stay Productive

#HustleSmarter

Hey friends,

I’ve recently made a switch in the content I consume because of this realization I had recently. I know I’m not the only one too. There is SO MUCH content that we are constantly exposed to everyday. So many ads, campaigns, videos etc its everywhere. So a recent mind shift has caused me to ask myself how is this content going to help me? Like seeing someone on instagram doing this and that, does it really benefit me? Some of it motivates me but some of it causes more harm than good. So next time you decide to follow that “role model” it might be worth it to ask is it really helping or causing more mental harm.

Aside from switching my content consumption, for those that follow me you guys always see me with a notebook. I carry it with me literally everywhere, everyday during the work week.I write my yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals down. Call me old school but something about writing your goals down makes it more real as opposed to typing it. This is the notebook I use but you can do this on a notepad, white board, or napkin. I break down how I use my notebook in my latest youtube video here. I’ll even show you the template I use to write my daily goals. I find that if I don’t write my daily targets the night before my whole day is spent not being productive.

Two little productivity tips that might help you as they work for me

Have a great week!

Stuff I enjoyed this week
1.PODCAST
I love Andy Frisella and the MFCEO Project podcast. He’s a self made entrepreneur that cuts out all the BS and gives you the facts. He’s straight to the point and the whole concept is to be the muthaf*cking ceo of your life. He talks about not only business but life in general to take charge, stop complaining and start doing. You can check it out here
2.TECH
With this being my first newsletter I have to shoutout the program I’m using. I started using Mailchimp! No affiliate with them neither. Im not a genius in website development, i’m still learning so if I can figure out how to set all of this up I know you can too!
3.PRODUCTIVITY
Since this is the main topic I also want to share the notebook that I use with you guys. I’ve used probably 6-7 brands and this one is the best quality. Im a notebook nerd, i’ll admit. I like a good quality book with good quality paper because I use sharpie pens. I can’t pronounce their name even if I tried lmao so here’s a link to check them out yourself. Leuchtturm1917 is the name and I originally found them in Barnes and Noble. Moleskin is good too but they’re way too pricey. The ‘L-company’ is just as good tbh.
