What you should really do also is spend time with yourself in the morning first, what do most people do who are not productive, they take their phone in the morning, and then they check their email. And this is what they do. So, if you do that, studies have shown that you will be 30% less productive over the day. What you should do instead is take one hour when you wake up for yourself. It can be meditation, it can be reading, it can be writing something down, it can be preparing your day. You can do that the night before, but you could also do that in the morning, depending on how you like it.

But you must take time for yourself to be excited about the day. One question that I always asked myself is, what am I excited about the day? What am I excited about today? And I would come up with an answer. And then I would plan my day I will review the tasks that I have to do, who I have to reach out to and that's how I start my day before When I was not productive, the first thing I would do even before waking up like even before having my breakfast, I will just check my emails and start answering. And I will be in a reaction mode.

And what you want to do is really think, been thinking mode, not in a reaction mode. You don't want to react to other people's demands, when you just woke up, you want to think and plan that you can become productive. And then when you arrive at work, or when you have spent time with yourself, you can then check your emails, and then you can see what other people expect of you and want from you. But first, you spend time with yourself. A great way to do that is to meditate for 10 minutes, you just close your eyes, and you focus on how you breathe. That's it for 10 minutes, and you try to empty your mind.

If you can't empty your mind. You just focus on your senses on the way you breathe. That's it, it's really easy. And you can do that for 10 minutes. The first thing that you wake up so that you can be present with everything that is around you. It's not about the motivation.

It's about getting things done. I know that most people are here and they say, Yeah, but I'm not really motivated to do this task. And that's why I'm not productive. Sometimes it's just about getting things done. So before starting these online training, I was not really motivated. I was I was like sitting on the couch.

And I was like, I was like, texting someone. And then I said, Oh, I don't want to record it. And sometimes it's not about the motivation. It's about getting things done. So I just stood up, and I came to the studio here, and then I started recording it. Sometimes it's just about doing it.

So most people say, you never I don't know if I feel like doing this important task today. No, you just do it. You just do the task. In my case, I don't ask myself, am I motivated? Now I just do it. I know I have to do it's written on this piece of paper.

I don't ask myself am I motivated? I say okay, I have to do it. And then I do it. So it's something that I would like to encourage you to do. You don't need motivation to do stuff, you just do it, just get things done. And if you want to become more productive, have more time for what you truly want.

You must get used to taking action, even if you're not motivated and even if you are afraid, and it's the muscle that you will develop, you will develop over time. So start taking small actions, even if you're not truly motivated. And then you will see that you will be more and more used in taking these kind of actions without motivation. And at the end, you won't need motivation anymore.
