Description
These are two of the ways I stay so productive. Warning: it's not exactly for the faint of heart, and is likely to get stressful. Yet, you'll get your crap done… Today, I wanna share some NINJA productivity hacks that help me to get sooo much done. Join me, as I draw back the curtain, and give you a sneak peek behind the scenes, at Larsen Productivity 10. WARNING: These productivity hacks are NOT for the faint hearted! No whiners and whingers beyond this point… You’ve been warned ;-) MY PRODUCTIVITY HACKS 101 Before I go to sleep, I ALWAYS know what I'm gonna do the next day. It's NOT always the specific details, but I have an idea of what I need to focus on in the morning… So when I wake up, I don't have to answer the question of “WHAT?” I can just get on with things. If someone's like, “Stephen, I’ worried about becoming an entrepreneur because I don't know all the steps…” I’m like *NEWS FLASH* “Welcome to Freakin’ Entrepreneurship!” Some days, you ’ll wake up, and you WON’T know exactly how your day will go. There’s ALWAYS gonna a new challenge to meet or problem to overcome. That’s entrepreneurship, my friend. So, if you can get over that hurdle by knowing the CORE PROJECTS that you'll be working on before you even go to bed, that’s one of the BIGGEST productivity hacks I can give you. I know it sounds super simple, but Tim Ferriss talks about doing this in the Four Hour Work Week. You should never go to sleep without knowing WHAT you're gonna be doing the next day, at least for your major core projects. GETTING THINGS DONE! If you don't have a list, you should have a list of the BIG, major core projects you're trying to get done in the next month. Let me show you mine… *This* is exactly how I do it all. It’s something I learned from Alex Charfen, and I've kind of adapted it... I think through ALL of the top things that I wanna get done in the next three months. It's not like a giant list, we're talking major projects. Then each month, I think through each project, and ask; “What’s a huge thing I could get done?” For Example: Write a book. Do a live event, i.e., OfferMind So I start thinking through these massive, high-level things and start to make some lists This is the way I plan everything and stay super productive. Check this out… SETTING TARGETS I start with some 90-Day Targets: These are all things I could do in 90 days. These are all things I will do in 90 days. Then I think through: What could I do in the next 30 days? What I will do in the next 30 days? Does that make sense? When I launched my new content machine for Secret MLM Hacks, I used a similar system: Red = it's underway. Yellow = it wasn't realistic to get done this month, we're pushing it to next month. Green = it's done. Date column = for a specific day that I’ll do it Dollar Sign = the things that are revenue generating and focus specifically on those. I have a lot of stuff on here because I have teams... and I'm kind of a psycho anyway. Then I go through and I mark each one of these things, where I am and who owns that task, and who's getting it done. I don't see any issue showing you guys this stuff, this is how I run things. I run it in three-month swings. Every 90 Days, I redo my whole targets again. I've been using this system for the last five months now, and it shows ALL the tasks that I’ll focus on. That's why when people reach out to ask, “Stephen will you build a funnel for me?” If it’s NOT on my Target List, the answer is ALWAYS, NO! That thing is The Bible to me. I do NOT do ANYTHING that’s outside of my target list. It works really well. I know exactly which team members are doing what. I don't have to sit back and be like, “Well, who….?” Next, we’re going to create Trello boards that use the systems like we used to use at ClickFunnels. It's a specific project management style; it's 90-day targets of wh
