3 Things I Didn't Think Would Help My Productivity.

I was wrong.

"Productivity isn't my thing", I thought to myself as I played Candy Crush.

I'm flying high above the concept. I'm all about creativity. I'm all about staring into space, waiting for brilliant ideas.

The other day, hubby and I were planning our eldest's birthday party, and it hit me: he's turning 3. A couple of months after that, I'm turning 35.

My dad passed away at 52.

I mean, 35 is young, of course, but it's not that young. It's a good moment to switch to second gear.

To me, that meant admitting that I wasn't above productivity. I was just lazy.

As I tried different strategies to address that, these three stood out.

Community.

Imagine this for a moment: every day, you wake up, get ready and meet a group of friends who are all into this one thing you really want to do.

Say, they all exercise, then go out for a healthy lunch.

Or they all write novels, or they're trying to start a business.

How do you think this would affect your productivity? You're right. It will freakin explode.
