Why We All Have Enough Time to Be Successful At What We Are Passionate A...

Catch DeSocial Connector with a Great Entrepreneur Tip on Why We All Have Enough Time to Be Successful At What We Are Passionate About. It is All About Action.

People always think they don't have the time to take action on something that can make them more successful in life whether it is a side business, volunteering, a hobby or learning in general. There are 168 hours in a week and after the basics such as sleep, work, exercise and family, you got between 20-40 hours left. So what are you doing with your extra time?

Are you Busy or Productive?

 What was your answer the last time someone asked you, “How have you been doing?” If you said, “Busy,” you’re certainly not alone.  We hear it more often than not, and to be perfectly honest, we often feel the same way.

But here’s the deal: There’s a tremendous difference between being busy and being productive. Even more, there’s a big difference between productivity and focused productivity.

As the quote above suggests, being busy and productive without clarity about your priorities and a focus on what’s most important is useless. Heck, you could argue that it’s worse than useless; it’s potentially harmful and damaging.

So, how can you avoid the “productivity trap”? Here are a few ideas:

• Make a “not-to-do” list. Write down all of the things you’re currently doing that aren’t worth the time and effort you’re spending on them. Delegate them, if possible, or…
• Let go of the rest. Focus on the essential items, and if something is not important and not urgent, get rid of it. If you need help with this, check out Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism.
• Plan ahead. Once you know what you will and won’t do, prioritize your to-do list. Some people do this weekly, but most people do it daily, mapping out their agenda for the next day the night before.
• Do a daily recap. While you’re doing your nightly line-up for the following day, do a daily recap to see how you did. What went well? Where can you improve?
• Clear the clutter. Clutter on your desk, your office, your inbox, etc., can be very distracting. Make sure you set aside time weekly to tidy things up. This not only helps keep things clean, it also helps you from getting sidetracked with spontaneous house cleaning.
• Put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes the most daunting step is the first one. But rather than paralysis by analysis, just take one step—in any direction.
• Batch similar tasks together. When you’re putting together your daily line-up card, batch similar tasks together whenever possible. Set aside dedicated time for emails, phone calls, projects, meetings, etc., rather than sporadically spacing them out. Every time you change tasks, there’s an opportunity cost; that’s right, we’re suggesting that you don’t multi-task.
• Set a timer. If you have trouble being disciplined with your time, use a timer. This is an incredibly useful tool for most people. It helps create a sense of urgency, it can alleviate feelings of being overwhelmed, and it creates a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
• Schedule mini-workouts. Physical activity boosts energy levels, helps manage hunger and blood sugar levels, improves cognitive function, and boosts productivity. Schedule 5- to 10-minute micro workouts during your work day.
• Improve your communication. If you’re too wordy, you can be leaky valuable time and creating confusion. Keep things as simple as possible and focus on answering questions—not creating new ones.

When you combine productivity with focus, well … that’s where the magic happens.

Hope this helps!

How to Lose Weight (Actually Fat) w/ AIMC Health Solutions - Eight Great Tips

We are more than half way through the year and that big new year's resolution from the last New Year's Party is in the distant rear view mirror.   Since New Year's we have gone through a pandemic, racial unrest and even murder hornets.   But through it all, there is always one constant task, and it is to stay healthy and lose unwanted unhealthy fat.    Gut Health and maintaining an optimal weight goes a long way to having a strong immune system.

Of course, there are weight loss programs and all sorts of advice about the best most effective supplements, but there are also really basic tips that you can follow that will help you lose the fat and feel much more energized and healthy.

Here are eight great tips for you to try out with the help of a weight loss program or supplements.  Basic stuff!  Please let us know what you think!

1.  Drink Water a Half Hour Before Meals   - One study showed that drinking water a half hour before meals increased weight loss by 44% over 3 months.

2.  Eat a High-Protein Breakfast -  Eating a high-protein breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings and calorie intake throughout the day.

3.  Use Smaller Plates at Dinner - Studies show that people automatically eat less when they use smaller plates.  Strange, but it works.

4. Avoid Sugary Drinks and Fruit Juice - These are the most fattening things you can put into your body, and avoiding them can help you lose weight.

5. Drink Coffee or Tea -  If you're a coffee or a tea drinker, then drink as much as you want as the caffeine in them can boost your metabolism by 3-11%.    By the way, it is the milk/cream and sugar that makes the perception that coffee and tea is unhealthy.

6. Eat Mostly Whole, Unprocessed Foods -   Base most of your diet on whole foods.  They are healthier, more filling and much less likely to cause overeating.

7. Eat Your Food Slowly -  Fast eaters gain more weight over time.  Eating slowly make you feel more full and boosts weight-reducing hormones.

8.  Get a Good Night's Sleep, Every Night - Poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for weight gain, so taking care of your sleep is important.   A simple tweak to your bedtime ritual can have dramatic effects in shrinking fat tissue while reversing the signs of premature biological aging every time you fall asleep.

Try this tips out and let us know or your progress.    My recommendation is to write down your progress in a journal or on your phone so you know where you stand.
