About This Article
In this article we are going to give you practical steps to be more productive but before we do that, we wanted to do some internal work. Why internal work? We think that being more productive starts by dealing with our internal issues.
Your First Time Here? Welcome!
Hey! My name is Rachel Swan and I am part of the team at A Life With Intention. Sorry to interrupt the internal work we were about to go into, I just thought it would be good to say a formal introduction to people who haven’t been to the site before.
I write most of our blogs as part of the mission of A Life With Intention which is to share our journey of growth to help other people on theirs. Our hope is that the content that we post here will be helpful to you and if there is anything you would like to see featured please drop me an email. Ok back to the internal work!




The Truth About Productivity
Tip #1 Realise Your Own Internal Struggles

“Are you a born writer? Were you put on earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? In the end the question can only be answered by action. Do it or don’t do it. It may help to think of it this way. If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don’t do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet. You shame the angels who watch over you and you spite the Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along its path back to God. Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got.”



Tip #2 Focus On Your One Thing

If you try to do everything you will have average results at everything. Focussing on one thing at a time will increase your productivity. Your brain is not designed to do a million things at once. Did you know that 28% of the day is lost to multitasking? In order to increase your productivity on a macro and micro level you need to be very clear about what you want.
