There's only one productivity thing I've found that really makes a difference. For context, I struggle with focus. 15 tabs open on each of the 8 windows on my 2 screens. Messages pinging, note pads, ideas popping into my head....mmmmm do I need a cup of tea....oh it's time to take the dog out...DOOR BELL! Anyway, you get the picture. I've watched countless YouTube videos, read books, and bought a fancy electronic notepad. But there is one consistent and simple trick I use to get stuff done. I put my phone in the room next to my office. Whilst the laptop can provide more than enough distraction, removing the phone allows me to get into a flow state of work. And then once I get going, I start to become really productive. Any hacks I'm missing? Always room for improvement!! #productivity

What do you do while waiting? Most people pick up their phones and scroll. Here’s how to supercharge your productivity in those 2-5 minute windows. #productivity #timemanagement #growthmindset #resiliencerocks #personalgrowth #resilience #mentalhealth

Tip of the Week: 5 Easy, Peasy, Basic Keyboard Shortcuts to Boost Your Productivity

The classic selfie by the beach with your laptop on your lap isn’t real. Sorry 1. 👀 Everybody knows you can’t see the screen on a sunny beach… 2. We all know you’re too scared for sand to get into your Macbook… 3. ☀️ It’s too hot for your laptop. It will overheat. 1a/2a/3a.🖕🏼off bro Owning a business and working remotely isn’t for everyone. But instead of striving for the unrealisitic, I’ve understood that finding a decent chair where I can put my laptop on my legs is enough. If you’re 1️⃣ outcomes-based and 2️⃣ you have a plan heading into the day, you can achieve it with just that. For the TLDR people: ➡️ Organise your day ➡️ Have a decent laptop ➡️ Find a chair ➡️ Get shit done …do the above. You’ll be able to go away and lay on a beach. Instead of needing to take your laptop with you.

"Slams laptop shut." 🤷♀️ ??? You've probably chuckled at the meme, and I get it – it's cute. But let's dive a bit deeper. Do we really close our laptops as if slamming the door on our commitment? Do we truly champion the narrative of "not working"? Consider this: if your team needs you, or a client calls on a Saturday morning, is your laptop really slammed shut? In my view, if you're not prepared to open that laptop wide and dive into the work, you don't deserve the dedication that some team members bring to the table. Moreover, it shows you do not fully appreciate "your" clients investing their trust and dollars in your expertise. A year ago, I found myself hospitalized with a heart condition. Yet, there I was, laptop open, taking calls with wires attached to my chest. And let's not forget the time I worked through my vacation in Seattle, sacrificing personal time off for the sake of a project. Some may call this being taken advantage of, but I see it differently. It's not about being a pushover; it's about passion and commitment. I'd never do anything I didn't want to and certainly wouldn't take more than I'm willing to give. Let's celebrate the dedication it takes to keep that laptop wide open, ready for whatever challenges come our way. Because, in the world of a Creative, success isn't just about creativity; it's about the unwavering commitment to turning ideas into reality, no matter where you are or what obstacles you face. 💼✨ #WorkDedication #CreativeDirector #AlwaysOpenForBusiness
