I - THE BASICS

1

Self-Discipline and Commitment

Let’s do this! This is the first chapter, because you can only become more productive if you have the necessary discipline and are committed to find time in your days no matter what.

---

Don’t be one of those people who say I’d like to read more, I’d like to exercise more, I’d like to write a book, I’d like to go out into nature more, and then don’t do it.

Self-discipline and commitment are character traits that will decide whether you do what you said you would do and go through with it starting by making a schedule and sticking to it or planning your days ahead.

---

There’s more: It’s doing the things you need to do, even if you are not in the mood for it.

Not very self-disciplined? Don’t worry. You can start training your self-discipline from this moment on! It’s like a muscle. The more you train it, the better you get.

If your self-discipline is weak right now, start training it by setting yourself small, reachable goals like:

Write a thousand words a day instead of writing a book

Not answering the phone for one hour one day per week

Not looking at your mobile phone, social networks, and emails in the first 90 minutes after waking up…and so on.

It’s important that you keep your commitments—with others, but also with yourself.

---

Not keeping your commitments has a terrible consequence: You lose energy, you lose clarity, and even worse it affects your self-esteem!

---

Only make commitments that you really want. That can mean fewer commitments and more NOs. You’re already gaining time…If you commit—keep your commitment whatever it takes.

---

Saying No is so important and probably one of the best time management tricks of all, it will get a separate chapter all to itself further ahead.

On to the next chapter!

Set Your Productivity Goals

If you are like most people you overestimate what you can do in a week and underestimate what you can do in month. If you go one step at a time and remain flexible, then over time you can achieve things that you couldn’t even imagine before. It’s like compound interest. The small steps with time, sum up to something really big.

---

Write down your goals and they will drive you to take the right actions. Having clearly defined goals will be crucial on your way towards more productivity.

Your goals are like a GPS system leading the way. But to be led, first of all you have to know where you want to go!

---

The first step to achieving your goals is to put them in writing. Until a little more than three years ago I wasn’t a big goal setter. I was very skeptical. Then I started writing down my goals and incredible things started to happen. I became a lot more productive and focused and accomplished goals that weren’t even imaginable just months before.

---

There’s nothing like committing to your goals, writing them down…and achieving them or even exceeding them. (I wanted to sell 2,500 books in 2015 and sold over 12,000—imagine how I felt…)

Of course writing your goals down involves a certain risk: Suddenly you will be able measure what you achieve and what you don’t achieve. Have the courage to do it anyway. It will be worth
