Good Questions for Productivity

I’ve been starting my days lately with a blank notepad writing down all the things I want to accomplish. Having just moved, the list has been laden with small tasks like update voter registration, establish energy account, and get can opener. Fighting my way through it, I usually start with one question borrowed from the 4 hour work week.

What is the one thing on this list that would make my day worthwhile if I accomplished it?

Then I do that first. It’s been tremendously helpful in getting me to focus on my priorities. Lifehacker has come up with a long list of a few other questions to ask yourselves to help you keep focus.

A few of my favorites:

• What can I cross off my list by deleting or delegating? What is not important?
• What are my top 3 current goals?
• What can I do right now to release negative energy in a positive way?
• What have I been avoiding that I can do today?

Check out the full list.
