How do you stay productive throughout the day to achieve all your goals ?

Hi good people !

Hope you’ve had yet another productive week . The other day I was remembering that June is also ending and just like that , we’re only left with one half of the year in this very year that feels like it started just last month 🤔🤔. Am not saying this to put you on pressure because the goal of this newsletter and whatever am building is to help you live a pressure less life 🕺🕺🕺 .. I was asking myself what really creates that magical difference between goal setting at the beginning of the year & the goals achieved at the end of that very year . You know that time when that magical , “New year new me” sentence is flying around ? But obviously we know that goals must be smart , right ? And we know the SMART acronym stands for S-Specific, M-Measurable, A- Achievable, R-Relevant , T-Time Bound . For instance if you’re making $200 per month at the end of 2023 and no other source of income into the new year , a goal of buying a $50,000 GLS Mercedes Benz in 2024 May not be such a smart goal ,other factors remaining constant . Well before I go off topic , I believe the answer to the goals set - goals achieved question is PRODUCTIVITY . Then comes the question of how can I be productive to achieve my goals that I set earlier ? This does not just apply to annual goals , but monthly , weekly and down to daily . assuming that they’re smart goals as you know .

Let me share from my truths ; over the past few weeks , I’ve been gearing up to my new content niche on my YouTube channel ; finance from Travel. And when I was building up the idea , I asked myself what kind of finance content do I want my channel to have ? How do I want it to impact the person watching ? The answer to that question was that am going to inspire more people to build legal & worthy side hustles on the internet. Because careers on the internet sounds like a myth or too good to be true , I said I’ll do something on my end, achieve it ,then take the viewers through the process so they can copy and paste in theirs as well .. I did note on the side some of the things I like to talk about and in case you’ve not heard , it’s how to build and make money off YouTube without showing your face , how to re sell stuff on Amazon , launching & selling your own digital products etcetra . The downside to my way of doing it ,is that I pile the pressure on myself because I’ve to achieve it so I can teach you how to do it . I was joking with my small team members that ours is not going to be motivational speaking . If I’ve to teach someone how to make $1000 a month , I should be making it first . Because at that point when you come to ask me deeper questions, I should be able to reply them with precision. Don’t worry I can work under pressure, atleast for my own business 😎😎

Anyhow , when I was internalizing what it’ll take for me to pull off what I want to do , one sentence kept ringing in my head ; “Increase & improve your productivity” . For context , I consider myself a social media worker or for lack of a better word , influencer ( I like to add international influencer so you people can give me my respect — JOKES 😅😅). And I mean as a YouTuber , I can decide to watch YouTube the whole day ; I’d still be working 🤷🏽‍♂️, I can decide to jump from post to post on Twitter ; I’d still be working 🤷🏽‍♂️, I could decide to get on a 3-5 hour phone call with a subscriber; I’d still be working 🤷🏽‍♂️. While doing that , I may not give ample time to recording videos , scripting , writing articles for this our newsletter, following up on my accounts to be sure am making what am going to teach you how to make , following up on targets , building networks & also looking for a girlfriend 🤣🤣🤣( am kidding on this one too I swear to God ) . My point is , how then can I stay on social media for the right amount of time , how can I film for the right amount of time and look out for everything else without compromising on any ?? And literally this is a how can I increase and improve my productivity question

This is what I decided I’ll do ;

A) I introduced the 3-5-3 formation 😅😅.. Sounds football like , right ? But let me explain . In the 3-5-3 formation , I agreed that I’ll use the first 3 hours of every morning to be on social media ( because it’s the backbone of my business) , use the next 5 hours UN interrupted to do stuff off social media e.g filming , scripting , writing this newsletter, learning more on topics, doing & following up other businesses I want to work on etc , use the last 3 hours for either depending on the needs at that moment . Sounds weird and interesting at the same time , right ? What this format does is that it gives me full control of the 11/12 hours of the day .. I know when to do what ..

B) am also improving on my diet especially the first 8 hours of the day . As you may or may not know am already on a gluten free diet but because of my new productivity obsession ,am learning how to stay on my right diet while eating very light in the morning e.g drink milk & have some eggs as opposed to waking up to Egusi soup , 3 fufu & 4 meat with Holandia Yoghurt 😅😅( kidding but I hope you get the gist ? ). After the 8 hours I can now eat whatever I can on my diet coz then I can nap , observe some violence on Twitter , reply to emails , view and reply YouTube comments etc in the last 3 hours on my 3-5-3 formation. Do I have everything figured out ? Absolutely NOT . Can I learn from you as well ? With humility I’d crave to . Tell me , how do you stay productive yourself??

This actually went on longer than I’d expected 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️.
