The Simple Daily Trick for Increased Success and Productivity

We are all always looking for ways to succeed at higher levels and be more productive.  But, what if I told you the best way to do this every day was to stop working.

What?

That's right.  The best way to reach higher levels of success and productivity every day is to STOP working - for a short while.

 Most people work continuously through the day and many times don't have that much to show for it.  The reason this happens is because we can only focus and work for so long at a time.  We need to take breaks to let ourselves recharge and be able to re-focus.  Otherwise, we get what is called the "Law of diminishing returns."   It is an old economic principle that states that after an optimal level of capacity is reached, every added unit of production results in a smaller increase in output.  Basically, once you are performing at an optimum level, the longer you continue to less productive you will get.  

This is why we need to take "re-charge breaks" throughout the day.  For me, this is 10-20 minutes where I get away from my desk and office and do something non-work related.  Sometimes, its a short guided Yoga or meditation session.  Many times, it is taking the dog for a walk or just playing with him throwing his stick or ball for a little bit.  It really doesn't matter what it is that you as long as every couple of hours, you take a re-charge break.

Putting this into practice daily will make a tremendous difference in your success and productivity.  A re-charge break helps you to get energy and oxygen in your system, clear your mind so that you can focus better when you come back, and be at your best.

Try working 1-2 of these into your day where you step away and forget about work for 10-20 mins and see the difference it makes for you!
