EP36 - My Top 3 Productivity Hacks

Ever wondered what it takes to transform a chaotic day into a productive one? In episode 36 of "Building Thriving Lifestyles," Oddrun Eik Gylfadottir shares her top three productivity hacks that have helped her juggle multiple roles and tasks effectively. If you're someone who feels like the day slips by without achieving much, you're definitely not alone. Eik introduces the idea of journaling as a way to organise thoughts and track progress.

It's not just about scribbling down your feelings; it's about strategically reflecting on your week and planning ahead. She suggests asking yourself questions like, "What went well this week?" and "What could be improved?" to guide your journaling practice. Next up, she stresses the importance of scheduling everything. Whether it's a client meeting or a yoga session, writing it down gives you a visual overview of your week and helps keep distractions at bay.

Eik recommends using tools like Google Calendar for tech enthusiasts or a passion planner for those who prefer pen and paper. Her final hack focuses on getting things done without forcing it. The key is balancing the tasks you love with those you dread. Eik advises tackling the least enjoyable tasks first thing in the morning, followed by a rewarding break. Using airplane mode on your phone can help eliminate distractions during focused work sessions.

These hacks aren't just tips; they're tried-and-tested methods that have helped Eik thrive in her busy lifestyle. So why not give them a go? Could these strategies be your ticket to a more productive day?
