There are many best-seller books out there. By definition, best-seller books are books which are bought by many, many people. Unfortunately, buying doesn’t mean reading. From those many people who buy a book, only a fraction of them actually read the book.
Even worse, reading doesn’t mean doing. From those who read the book, very, very few of them actually do what they read. Reading a book is one thing, but applying it is a different thing. No wonder very few people experience what the authors write.
The same thing applies to productivity. Many of us read productivity books or blogs and know a lot of productivity tips. Unfortunately, knowing doesn’t mean doing.
In this post, I’d like to remind us to actually do what we know. Here I highlight top 5 productivity tips which I think will make great difference if we actually apply them. For each tip, I put links for more resources to help you do it.
Here they are:
Rise early
Why do you need to rise early? This is the reason: early-risers have more productive mornings, get more done, and report less stress on average than “late-risers.” Many people find early morning as very productive time to do their tasks. You will be able to accomplish more in the same amount of time.

Let’s have a productive week everybody!

I still wonder what my most productive hours are… The thing is, with certain tasks I’m very productive in the morning. With others, I’m very productive at night. I think night bolsters my creativity so I should leave my blogging and marketing activities for then…
Anyway, I’ve challenged myself to wake up earlier and earlier with each day that goes by. A very challenging task at first but I’m happy to report that I’ve made excellent progress in that direction. I find my days more produtive as a result.

I’m actually the exact opposite. I find that I get more work done if I stay up really late. My mind works more abstractly at night, and I find more creative ways to conquer tasks.
I know it’s different then normal, but I have such a hard time waking up if I don’t absolutely have to (for class or work), so this works better for me.
I guess you just have to find what works and use it to your advantage! Thanks for the comment Ricardo!
