How will you make this year the best year? Here are some ideas

By

1. Focus on investing in yourself this year

How about before or as you invest your money, invest in yourself. It also doesn’t have to be strictly monetary but something that can enrich your soul. Learning a new skill, or reading that book you always put off. How about visiting a new place or perhaps meeting people outside of your usual circle? Or how about invest in your health by eating better and keeping active? Of all things you can do to make your year the best ever, nothing beats investing in yourself. 

The best investment you can make is in yourself quote

2.  Be positive this year. One person that can make your dreams come true is you. If there is someone who can make your dream come true, how would you treat them? How would you speak to him/her? Be aware of negative self talk. Nip it in the bud and focus on turning any selftalk into positivity and encouraging pep talk. You will find yourself better off for it. 

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love. quote

3. If there are things you want do, Focus on GETTING STARTED. Things are scary mostly because your perception of what you do not know. Start and you will find fear is mostly never existed but in your mind. Most mistakes are not fatal and mistakes are necessary fuel to help you get you to your goal. 

The scariest moment is always just before you start quote

4. You don’t have to do it all at once. Keep moving forward if needed, inch by inch. Small things add up to being big things. Set your goal and focus on each steps to get you there.

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tiptoe if you must, but take a step.

Get super productive using a Pomodoro timer technique

Pomodoro technique and its power to improve productivity

Pomodoro technique is a very powerful tool to help you focus and get more tasks done.

Created by Francesco Cirillo, it is a time management technique that by breaking down tasks in 25 minutes increments, it aims to keep your mind fresh to maximize productivity during that short burst. 

In between 25 minute focus times (called pomodoros) , you take a short 5 to 10 minute break. After four 25 minute “pomodoros”, you take a longer break 15-20 minutes. 

My family have been using this technique for over a year now and it has been very helpful enhancing our focus and productivity. 

It has been so helpful that we developed an app and a website.

It has a significant advantage over a regular physical timer in that you can adjust times for your pomodoros and breaks as well as have reports and stats to keep track of your progress.

Links below if you would like to try. It is free.
