Preparation and Planning is Key to Boosting Productivity

Preparation and planning is key to boosting your productivity and increasing free time.

It is said that for every minute you spend planning you gain an extra ten minutes doing the task.

Preparing for your day with the tasks and activities at hand will keep you focused and increase your productivity.

Start with these simple activities for an immediate boost to your productivity and an increase in free time.

1. Prep your food for the week - when you spend a couple of hours on a given day prepping your weeks food you will gain gobs of time each day. Imagine having all your food prepared for dinner and all you have to do is heat it up!
2. Plan your clothes the night before - it's so much easier to have your clothes laid out when you get up in the morning. Not only is that one less decision you have to make in the morning but you also can get dressed much faster as well. Imagine having a few extra minutes each morning to relax and enjoy that time for yourself!
3. Make a to do list - preparing for your day with the tasks and activities at hand will keep you focused and boost your productivity. Complete the tasks on your list before you move on to other activities.
4. Plan your vacations - a planned vacation will lead to more fun and relaxation. Compare a weekend of hanging around the house to a weekend away with planned activities. The planned weekend/vacation will leave you more refreshed and recharged.

When you are using these 4 simple tools not only will you feel more prepared and productive but you will also notice more free time each day.
