Last weekend, I was contacted by Kabbage-- an online company that provides small business loans. Kabbage asked if I would be interested in writing a post on my top five essentials for productivity, along with some other bloggers. I thought this would be such a great post for the blog, so here is a little run down of what helps keep me productive...
1. Journal: Having a journal is great for a variety of reasons. For bloggers, like myself, it is great for jotting down inspiration for posts. I keep one on me at all times (one in my backpack and one in my purse) so I can write down anything that comes to mind!
2. Coffee: Although I have tried to break my coffee habit, I just can't do it. Now that I am older I need it to keep me going, plus I just love the taste. Coffee is also a great way to take a little break while working, which is super essential to keeping me productive.
3. Food: Food, like coffee, is something I can't live without. I am a snacker, so I constantly eat small bites throughout the day; however, this habit always helps me stay focused. By eating, I can get a little break and also keep my energy up!
4. Email: Having some sort of communication, for me, is key to getting work done. I work on a lot of collaborations and with editing for The Undeniable Report, it is great to have constant, fast contact with our writers and CEO.
5. Breaks: Last, but not least, breaks are an essential for my productivity. I am not one of those people who can just sit down and study or do homework for long periods of time, so I usually take a short break to give myself some time to relax. Breaks always leave me feeling refresh and ready to get more done!
