Ask yourself every 30 minutes:

"Am i avoiding the critically important actions i know i should do?"

Most of the time the answer will be yes.

Success is hidden behind few uncomfortable or boring actions that we constantly put aside.

Often, being "busy" is just a form of procrastination.

Examine yourself objectively, your actions and your thoughts.

Are you avoiding certain actions? If yes, why?

Next time you catch yourself, stop.

And immediately start doing the action you're avoiding.

Next Level Exercise

If you are serious about it, put a timer that goes off every 30 minutes.

From the time you wake up, all the way until you are in bed.

Write down what you are doing at the exact moment the timer goes off.

Do this every day for a week.

Sunday evening, sit down with a pen and paper and start looking at 30-minute blocks of time.

Look at everything you did.

Put + if the action is getting you towards your goals.

Put - if you are wasting your time.

Put * if the action is mandatory and you cannot change it.

This is called "time auditing".

And you will find out how much time you are actually wasting.

Do it once a month and improve over time by being aware of the actions that waste your time.

After 6 months, you will be amazed with the results if you take this seriously.

This is the only productivity "hack" you need.
