Years ago, my mentor and renowned marketing genius, Dan Kennedy told me…

"Extreme Productivity depends on one's control of self, environment, working conditions, others, time / priorities, and immunity to criticism.”

“Always be asking yourself, 'Is this moving me towards my goals?'”

And…

“Where’s the profit in this?”

We must be willing to buy time & productivity.

Find people who are better than you at certain tasks, then pay them to do it.

Here are a few other productivity hacks that are serving me and my clients incredibly well…

#1 – No Meeting Mornings

“I do not have a meeting or call before noon,” said my client Boris, the owner of an 8-figure supplement company.

“I have much more time for deep work / money-making tasks in the morning. And it's starting to show already on the bottom line. 

“I've found my productivity / Prolific habits thanks to that change. I'm writing more, sourcing more products and working on important team stuff.”

#2 – Daily Walks (Slow Down to Speed Up)

This is a habit I’ve subscribed to for over 15 years.

Head Coach Daniel Woodrum feels the same way:

“I take short 15-30 minute walks two to three times a day,” said Daniel.

“It’s a powerful habit that allows me to think, solve my problems, and regulate my emotions. It gives me the headspace I need to work through information and make better decisions.”

 #3 – Quit Drinking

This November will mark 4 years since my last sip of alcohol.

I have no doubt most adults are capable of enjoying alcohol responsibly and in moderation.

Because that’s exactly what I felt I was doing with my strict 1 drink maximum (I kicked all binge-drinking to the curb for good way back in 2014).

However…

Thanks to my handy Oura ring… 

I was able to connect the dots between having a single Black Russian cocktail at dinner with Jason Capital — and an absolutely terrible night of sleep.

I woke up tired and groggy the next day…

With about 40% of my normal “brain power”.

Not surprisingly, I struggled to complete my priority to-do list that day…

Despite putting even more time in than usual.

Both the quality and quantity of my work suffered…

All because I consumed a drink, which I in no way needed, a little too close to bed. 

No matter which way you slice it…

Even a small amount of alcohol can significantly impact your sleep.

For me that 1 drink just wasn’t worth it.

So instead of a 1 drink maximum…

Now it’s none.

And my mental clarity, productivity, and energy have never been better.

========

Anyway…

Don’t let the simplicity of these ideas fool you…

These are some of the most powerful productivity hacks you could possibly use.

Best of all…

Almost anyone can use and benefit from them — no special skills or abilities required.

Let me know how they help!
