A1: Honesty would be a good one, too — but without awareness the honesty can be unintentionally flawed. // @ErikJFisher #prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter Welcome to #prodchat. That magazine sounds…spicy! 😉
-
+1 RT @ErikJFisher: A1: I’m going with honesty. Admit you have a problem with productivity, before you can do anything about it. #Prodchat
-
@MCTheWriter Welcome to #prodchat!
-
A1: It seems that people who are naturally more organized have an easier time being more productive. #prodchat

@MCTheWriter Welcome to #Prodchat We are so glad you join us today
-
@mikevardy Discipline and will-power are key. Focus is a must! #prodchat
-
Haha! It is– my focus is anything on the Caribbean. “@WritingWhisper: @MCTheWriter Welcome to #prodchat. That magazine sounds…spicy! ;)”
-
@WritingWhisper Absolutely. Again, that’s all part of the awareness factor. #prodchat
-
Most people in my experience don’t know how to say NO appropriately RT @WritingWhisper: A1: Knowing what to say NO too is key also #prodchat
-
Yes! RT @WritingWhisper: A1: Knowing what to say “no” too is key also. You have to streamline requests and protect your time. #prodchat
-
@lucrecerbraxton Glad you joined us…and hope I don’t disappoint! #prodchat
-
RT @ErikJFisher: A1: I’m going with honesty. Admit you have a problem with productivity, before you can do anything about it. #Prodchat
-
@mikevardy I am sure you will be great. #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Absolutely!! Sometimes ignoring the need to recharge is very damaging–not to mention discouraging. #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Yep. I talk about taking January to reflect, recharge and renew in The Front Nine rather than take on resolutions. #prodchat
-
@mikevardy That’s an interesting approach. We’ll have to check out your book! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Us too! We also find we need eight hours of sleep–or a venti @Starbucks! 😉 #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Hi!! How have you been? Nice to see you again! #prodchat
-
RT @WritingWhisper: I agree with all of what you both said. In fact, sometimes we must RECHARGE to be productive. #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Two hour nap! What a luxury that is for me. #prodchat
-
A2. Follow @mikevardy and read his book The Front Nine… among others 😉 #prodchat
-
@mikevardy We need to chat! I give my clients a “year from now letter” assignment. It’s amazing. No resolutions here – just focus. #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen Hey Jim! Sorry–we all have iPhones. 🙁 #prodchat
-
And! @sendgine: @WritingWhisper Us too! We also find we need eight hours of sleep–or a venti @Starbucks! 😉 #prodchat”
-
@lucrecerbraxton Yeah, it doesn’t happen often. I’m referring to a random weekend nap. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@mikevardy Good tactic. E-mails can be a huge time-waster! #prodchat
-
@mikevardy Now THAT tip is SMART. #prodchat
-
A2v2 #prodchat and if all else fails, install one of those gamified apps on your smartphone & earn badges for chores! http://blog.laptopmag.com/top-10-gamification-apps?slide=1 …-10-gamific…
-
@mikevardy I was listening to @rsidneysmith‘s podcast on this just today. “First in, first out” is what he called it. #prodchat
-
@mikevardy I admit my inbox right now is a hot mess. #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper thats what we are trying to sell each other my wife and I. Sleep is overrated 😉 #prodchatbut i want a 2 hour nap

@mikevardy Can you do that on iOS? curious #prodchat

Here’s my post on email if anyone is interested, a couple of people have asked for the link. http://passiveproductive.com/e-mail-is-causing-you-to-be-unproductive-and-how-to-fix-it/ …e-prodchatcaus… #prodchat

-
@apinaud @mikevardy @ErikJFisher I am going to have to. I could get lost in it if I try to fix the past. #prodchat
-
#prodchat My problem is trying to find time to fit a workout in a day that starts early and ends late. Exercise is gives me more energy tho

-
@mikevardy I am going to research a way to do it on the iPad #prodchat Thats a great tip!
-
@RebeccaJoLuke How long do you normally workout for? You could look into High Intensity Interval Training #prodchat
-
@RebeccaJoLuke We totally sympathize. Too often, work takes precedence over a workout because we’re so busy. #prodchat
-
@lucrecerbraxton No one can fix the past. It can be redeemed though, but correct choices now. #Prodchat
-
Truth! RT @ErikJFisher: @lucrecerbraxton No one can fix the past. It can be redeemed though, but correct choices now. #Prodchat
-
-
@RebeccaJoLuke Rather than look at the “how to” look at the “why”. That makes it a far more compelling thing to prioritize. #prodchat

-
@DigitalKaitlyn Hi! Welcome to #prodchat
-
@mikevardy Do you use different contexts for Heavy Lifting days and light lifting days? #prodchat
-
@jasonb5232 That makes it a bit tougher. I don’t need to use home for geo-location often. I’ll get back to you on a workaround. #prodchat
-
@RebeccaJoLuke if workouts keep you going, make it work. if you have free time in the beginning/middle of your day, do it then. #prodchat
-
@RebeccaJoLuke Can you try going to bed 30 min early and do it first thing in the morning. #prodchat I recommend start the day at 4:00AM
-
-
@RebeccaJoLuke I am the same way. I need it to keep me going, and I struggle at times to get it in. Sometimes i waste MORE if not #prodchat
-
Ditto, will be the equivalent of having a context called TO-DO @mikevardy: A3: I also don’t use “Home” as a context/tag #prodchat
-
-
@WritingWhisper 4am? if that was the case i’d need to go to bed by 8pm. I am an early sleeper as it is, but that seems too hard #prodchat
-
A4: http://Trello.com ‘m a big user of OneNote also. Have thought about Evernote but don’t really like it #prodchatprodchat
-
@WritingWhisper But i guess whatever helps to get it in, should be necessary. Exercise is important
#prodchat -
@mikevardy @jasonb5232 I use GeoLocation for when I arrived or leave the house in case I need to remind myself of something #prodchat
-
A4: Still not into Trello, played with it. Also have given IQTell a go (Oh, and I use @draftsapp on iOS as my capture tool.) #prodchat
-
@mikevardy ?: My hubby is Techie guy, and I think sometimes too many apps can make one unproductive. Truth? #prodchat
-
-
-
@WritingWhisper From 4:30 to 7:30 it is writing time for me. If I can write more great, but at least I try to protect those times #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Take care Shannon! Nice to e-meet you! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@WritingWhisper Take care Shannon! Nice to e-meet you! 🙂 #prodchat

Can you expand on this: (@mikevardy: A5: I also use apps as contexts so that when I need to do the other work… #prodchat

@mikevardy I want to sleep when I’m sick. 🙁 #prodchat
-
@ErikJFisher I try and make a game of it like “Let me see how many calls I can make in 15 minutes. Go!” #prodchat
-
-
“@ErikJFisher: What works for everyone when it comes to staying on task? #Prodchat” “No interruptions, pls” on my door.
-
@ErikJFisher for me it’s a short, clear list, a solid WHY, and a block of time. #Prodchat
-
“@mikevardy: Work on high-energy tasks. #prodchat”
-
@mikevardy: Work on demanding tasks at time of day when you have the most energy #prodchat
