What better way to celebrate this holiday than making a commitment to improve your organizing or time management skills? After all, if you continue to do what you’ve done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve gotten.

Here are your productivity tips for this month:

1. Make the decision to change. It doesn’t have to be a major change, just one of those things you’ve classified as an ongoing ‘problem’. Identify the behavior and roadblocks and work at eliminating them. Consistently and one at a time.

2. Create order in your workspace AND your routines. Systems provide the big picture and process provides detail and complexity. Identify your systems (or lack of), then put a process to them. Then practice, revise and practice again until it becomes a habit and not seen as ‘something more to do’.

3. Find an accountability coach. Very few of us can work through change alone. Identify what you want to change, create a process around that and then find someone who can help you stay on track….and celebrate your success!
