7 Proven Productivity Strategies To Get More Hours In Your Day

How many times have you been super excited to seize the day only to get half way through your to-do list?

The daily to-do list may seem like a simple concept.

You have things to do.
Write them down.
Do them.
Rinse and repeat. 

However, many people struggle with getting to the bottom of their daily list. Sometimes we add so many things on to our plate during the day that we end up with more things to do than we started with. (Those days are the worst, aren't they?)

How in the world do you eat healthy, work out, work for 8-ish hours, spend time with family, take time for self care, build your relationships AND get a full night't sleep at the end of the day? 

Simple. You don't. 

The incredibly insightful book 168 Hours: You have More Time Than You Think breaks down exactly why we all should stop planning by the day and focus on spreading all of the things you want to do throughout your week. 

Your week is filled with unlimited opportunities to do everything that you want. However, most people create never-ending daily to-do lists that can often leave us feeling exhausted and unaccomplished by the end of the day.

I'm going to walk you through exactly how I plan out my daily to do list one full week at a time. This simple change allows me to get everything done over the course of a week without feeling overworked or overwhelmed.

 

Plan hard due dates first. 

Some of your to-do list items have a due date that you cannot change. 

For example, if you have a project to due on Wednesday you'll have to work on it on Monday and Tuesday. (You certainly don't want to be like the teenage me, who would be scrambling on Tuesday night to throw something together for me to take to school. One Science Fair I created a project titled Which Soap Suds The Best? I put soap and water in a bucket, swished it around and took a picture of it. #Embarrassing) 

This is where planning your to-do list for you whole week at once really comes in handy because you're looking at a birds eye view of your week and can see further into the future beyond the needs of today and tomorrow.

 

Plan your essentials.

There are certain thins you have to do to survive, keep your relationships strong and maintain your health. These are things you know you'll be doing every single week without fail. So it makes sense to block that time off next.

Here are some examples of essentials. Decide on what works for your lifestyle. 

  • Work

  • Grocery shopping

  • Cooking meals

  • Relationship building (with spouse, friends and family)

  • Sleep

  • Gym

  • (If you have small children) Homework, Reading and Bathtime

As you think about the time you have for these, remember you're thinking about your entire week. It's totally OK if you don't have time during the day to go to the gym 3 days a week. Push it to the weekend. Trust me, it still counts. 

 

Food matters.

Let's be real... We all have to eat.

While you may not really think about it (because it's really a basic need) food can easily take up 10 hours of your week! There's thinking about what you want to eat, going to the store to buy groceries, prepping all of the food, cooking and finally eating your meal. 

Build that time into your week... and find ways to optimize it. 

For example, I try to make a big meal on Mondays and Wednesdays and eat the leftovers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This gives me more time to spend with my family or get a yoga session in after work on those days. 

Do you see where I'm going with this? If you plan your week all at once, you can see where those pockets of time exists. You can now be intentional where you would've previously spent that extra time wondering what you're going to eat tonight, praying that you have the ingredients you need for that miscellaneous recipe you just found on Pinterest or scrolling Facebook.

 

Events & Appointments

Here's where things start to get a little tricky. Some weeks, you'll have random appointments that throw a wrench into your weekly routine.

It could range from a doctors appointment, parent-teacher conference, networking happy hour mixer or your BFF's Dirty Thirty Birthday Bash. 

Put all of your appointments on your to-do list on the day they fall on. Then move your existing to-do items to around to accommodate these experiences.  

For example, if you have a parent teacher conference Thursday night, you may want to plan to meal prep Wednesday night. 

 

Set aside daily hustle time.

I don't know anyone that doesn't have their own side hustle these days. I'm using side hustle liberally. You could be running a blog, taking additional courses to boost your skills, building a business or training for a marathon. 

All of these things take time to build if you want to make a meaningful difference. Make sure you block off time to work on them. 

I choose to wake up early on a daily basis before work (from about 5-7AM) to work on this lovely blog you're reading right now. I also block off about 6 hours every Sunday to work strictly on creating products for the blog. 

 

Don't skip your daily me-time Activity.

When you fail to plan (or plan poorly) the first thing that suffers is the time spent taking care of yourself. 

 

Use Your weekends

Your week can quickly get stolen from you. When you're early in your career, networking events and working late can steal your weekday evenings. If you have a family, your kid's after school activities can usurp your afternoons.

You can still maintain your productivity and accomplish everything you want by shifting things to the weekends.

You can grocery shop and meal prep on Sundays. You can host a potluck to spend time with friends and family on Saturday nights. You can side hustle, take a class or serve your community on Sunday mornings. 

 

THREE ITEM MAXIMUM DAILY

One mistake people make is cramming a lot of things into their schedule assuming they're going to work super hard, drink red bull and skip sleep to accomplish their goals.

This rarely works because you're betting on a Sunday that your Tuesday self is going to have enough will power to stay up late. This can be a hit or miss depending on whatever else happened that day.

Have you ever gotten mad at yourself for falling asleep when you had things to do? This is totally irrational, but we've all done it.

Give yourself a three item maximum on your to-do list for any given day. By doing this, you will make sure that you only put the most important and urgent things on your list. (If you're super gangster like me, you only put one thing on your to-do list each day.) This also gives you a fighting chance at finally crossing everything off your to-do list which will leave you feeling accomplished each day and ready to attack the next. 

 

By planning out your days like this, you have unlimited time and flexibility to move things around like puzzle pieces until they fit perfectly into place. At the end of the week, you'll realize that by putting less on your plate on a daily basis, you will have accomplished more, gotten more sleep, spent more time with friends and family AND took care of yourself more.  The time exists everywhere... it's your job to use it.

How This 28-year-old Increased Her Net Worth By $20,984 in 13 months

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.

net worth 20K.png

In June of 2016, I got my first real job. That meant that for the first time ever I actually had some money to pay my debts. Before that, my strategy was sticking my head in the sand and pretending that the pile of debt didn't exist. I'll be the first to admit that it wasn't exactly the best strategy.

By that time in my life I had moved into my mother's basement where my daughter and I shared a room that only had an inflatable bed and my computer desk - so I was in no place to care about debt payoff strategies. 

Flash forward two years later.

I finally landed a job where I'd have enough money coming in to cover my expenses AND pay off my debts. 

Like many Americans, I'm now paying for the mistakes I made earlier on in life. 

I decided to start reporting my net worth because I know I am not unique in my story. Many of us in our late twenties are paying for the mistakes of our vulnerable and naive teen selves so there's a ton we can learn from each other. 

There are three main reasons I'm sharing my money story:

  1. I want you to know that no matter how messed up your situation is, you can get out of debt.

  2. I want to track my own personal net worth over time.

  3. I want to share my unique story in how I'm getting my life together (and one day I will)

Let's get started, shall we? 

 

What is Net Worth? 

I was not born (or raised) with a huge understanding of money and what it's meant for (other than buying stuff) so I didn't really understand what net worth meant in practical terms until about two years ago. 

Basically its what you own (your cash, investments, home, etc.) minus what you owe (credit card, student loan debt, etc). 

 

What's Included? What's Not?

Tracking net worth can be a bit tricky because people can include (or not include) whatever they want so no two net worth statements will be the same.

 

What's included here:

  • Money That Pays My Bills - This is money that comes in... and then goes right back out. It's used to pay rent, phone bill, Netflix and other miscellaneous debts.

  • Savings Account - I put a small percentage of each paycheck into a savings account.

  • Investment Accounts - My 401K through my job and a few robo-advisors.

  • Debts - The only debt I have left is my student loans.

 

What's not:

  • Money that's not doing anything productive for my net worth - I have three additional accounts that I put a small percentage of each paycheck into: travel savings, weekly household/grocery spending, and personal fun money. This is money that is meant to be spent on enjoying life now and plays no part in my future plans - so I choose not to include it in my net worth.

  • Cars - Some people choose to include the value of their car(s) into their net worth statements. There are two main reasons I don't do this: (1) I don't think your car is an asset in by any means (2) don't own a car because it's a money pit (and these days I'm more inclined to keep my money in my pocket).

  • Homes/Rental Properties - Unlike cars I believe homes/rental properties can be a great way to contribute to your future financial freedom. While I don't have any now, I hope to start adding this to these income reports by 2021.

 

How Much Money Do I Make? 

Now I know it's totally taboo to talk about how much money I make but screw that. I'm going to be 100% open and honest about my income with you because I believe the more we talk about our money stories, the more other people can learn from it. 

I can attribute my total money makeover to one person... Wendy. 

Wendy is a super badass (and that is literally the only way to describe her.) I met her through an ex-boyfriend and was immediately in awe of her badassity. She went to an ivy league for school, was making $90K+ at some bank, running marathons, had a booming social life AND somehow she was also the treasurer of the Young Dems Chapter. #BadAss

I had no idea how long it took Wendy to accomplish all that, but I knew one thing. When I grew up, I wanted to be Wendy. 

At 25 years old, I was making $20K/year, working 3 jobs as a babysitter, waitress and freelancer. (I was so exhausted on a regular basis that I once fell asleep at a full blown rave in the room reserved for people who can't hold their alcohol.)

On top of that, every dollar that came in went right back out. A lot of my friends were struggling so I simply thought that it was normal. I thought that no one really "made money" until they were older. I figured I'd make money one day in my forties after I gained experience, after I'd paid my dues. I was OK with my life.

Then I learned Wendy and I were the same age. 

The second I learned that my world shattered. The story I'd told myself to be comfortable with my struggle was no longer true. My age was not the reason I wasn't making money - instead it was my own limited mindset that was holding me back.

From that moment, my mind opened up to the fact that I, too, could get one of those high paying jobs. I went back to school, got a master's in marketing analytics and landed a job as a marketing analyst. 

My total annual income now is $69K. 

I love telling people how much I make because I know my story can inspire someone the way Wendy inspired me. 

 

Cash Money

Here's the money that goes into my checking and savings accounts. It fluctuates over time because all the money that goes into my account gets immediately shifted to pay bills and student loans.

net worth 3.PNG

My biggest downfall when it comes to my cash money (and why it's impossible for me to keep money in that account) is that I struggle with properly budgeting. Every month, when I inevitably pay too much out (on student loans or elsewhere) I just pull the money out of my savings, dump it into my checking and use it for more bills. 

In the future, I plan on moving my emergency savings to a different account to create a barrier between my savings and my checking. However, I don't plan on doing that until after my student loans are paid off. I believe this is the best move for me because the earnings on savings accounts is around .01% (or whatever) while the interest I pay on my student loans is 6% and my credit score is far too low to refinance at a lower rate. That means the most productive place for my money is in paying off these student loans.

Downside (for now) is I don't really have an emergency fund.  I'm OK with this because I do have a health savings account and great health insurance to cover me if I have a medical emergency. Also, I do not have a car or own a home so I don't have any physical property to worry about. 

 

Investments

The only investments I have (for now) are the pre-tax retirement account I have through my job and a few robo-advisors investment accounts where I stash some after tax income. 

investment.PNG

 

Acorns

Acorns is an investment app that helps you invest tiny amounts of money at a time (so it's perfect for investors on a budget). For every purchase you make, Acorns rounds your purchase amount to the next dollar and invests the change. 

My favorite thing about Acorns is if you happen to want to pull your money out of that account for an emergency  you totally can! However, it takes about 7 days to get the money back into your account so you're not likely to reach for that money for any immediate need. That's great because it can sit and grow a little at a time. 

 

Betterment

Betterment is another online investment company that helps you invest small amounts of money. I am currently putting $50/month into Betterment and watching what happens over time. 

 

401K

I started to funnel money into my 401K the moment I got my first real job. I was super excited to start putting money towards my retirement. I finally felt like an adult.

I started off putting in 6% of my paycheck (because the company matches at 6%) and I set my account to automatically increase by 3% every year. Right now, I'm up to 12% of my income going into 401K before tax.  

 

Loans

The only debt I'm going to talk about here is my student loans.

Before I started my current job, I had so many debt collectors calling me that I couldn't wait to get rid of them. I had unpaid phone bills, car insurance payments, credit cards that had gone to collections, unpaid medical bills and about $4K that I'm paying back to friends and family that helped keep me afloat when I was at my worst. 

I spent the first 6 months at my job paying off all of my small debts and by December 2016 I was ready to start paying off my student loans. 

This report starts at the beginning of that journey.

 

Student Loans

I have a HATE ONLY relationship with my student loans (and I totally have a right to).

Side note: I'm going to hop on my soap box for a second to say what the United States does to students is CRAZY! At the age of 18 when you can't even RENT A CAR you're saddled with tens to hundreds of thousands in student loan debt. If you're a first generation college student like I was then you didn't have anyone to tell you about the important of choosing schools wisely or the impact of student loans on the rest of your life. Instead, you're way too busy celebrating your future success because you think degree=high paying job. #FalseAdvertising

Just for fun, let's take a look at the moment I started to include my student loans into my Net Worth.

StudentLoans1.PNG

You see that GIANT dip right around December 2016?

Yup. That's what student loans will do to you. (Take notes, teens!)

Clearly, I hate my student loans so it shouldn't surprise you one bit that I decided in January 2017 that I'm going to pay off all $42K of my student loan debt in two years

I've done some pretty interesting things to get there: 

I sold my car.

I rented out my second bedroom to my friend's grandfather visiting from Africa.

I (voluntarily) moved out of my apartment to live with my aunt in New Jersey.

I started to look for more opportunities to make money on the site through:

I have paid off $12,913 in student loan debt payments so far. 

StudentLoans2.PNG

Going forward, I'm putting a lot more time an energy into creating new products for the blog and performing high at work as well because it's promotion time!!! #WishMeLuck

Any additional income will go towards student loan debt payments. 

 

Net Worth

My total net worth is currently -16,604.93 (reminder: this is including student loan debt).

Net Worth1.PNG

This is a huge accomplishment I have increased my net worth by $20,984 (about 1/3 of my pretax income) in just 13 months!

How To Plan Your Week For Peak Performance + Balance + Happiness

 
plan your week

Have you ever sat back on a lovely Saturday afternoon, half way through a mimosa and a thrilling Netflix original and thought to yourself...

"What the heck did I do all week?" 

No matter who you are, you have 168 hours to do whatever you choose. Yet, some people appear to be living their best lives while others are watching time pass them by wishing they had more... time

Have you ever thought to yourself... 

If I had more time I could go on more trips. 
I could start that side hustle. 
I could spend more time with my family. 

If only I had more time. 

Here's a bit of reality for you...

YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME. 

It's just hiding away in all of the hours you spend on social media, the half-days that pass you by as you watch Netflix and every other choice that you make that does not align with your values and desires. 

Here's the approach I use to make sure I get EVERYTHING done on a weekly basis with time to crush my 9-t0-5 and run a profitable blog and love my adorable daughter and take care of myself (and everything in between) - without burnout.

 

First, PLAN TO Take care of your household.

The worst thing about being a super ambitious goal-getter is that it's entirely too easy to get lost in your work and lose track of the little things.

For example, there have been many weeks where I spent my free time working on my blog - and I'd totally forget to do grocery shopping. I'd find myself scrambling through cabinets to throw together breakfast for dinner three nights in a row. (It's not surprising I get hungry and have to eat, might as well plan for it right? )

With better planning, I could create a meal plan, eat healthy and have all the items I need. #NoScramblingNecessary

Here are things you can schedule in to make sure your home is taken care of each week:

  • Making a grocery list

  • Grocery Shopping

  • Cooking

  • House cleaning

To optimize your basic housework, create a time that works for you every week to do the same household chores. That way, it becomes more of a habit. For example, every Monday night after putting my daughter to bed, I do meal prep for the rest of the week. 

Put the time to take care of your home on the calendar first. 

 

SECOND, PLAN TO Take care of yourself

I'm not gonna lie here, with so many things that must get done (we must work, we must take care of our families, we must manage our finances, be half way decent romantic partners and whatever else life throws on our plates) it's very easy to forget that we are the lead character in the story of our life. 

No matter what you have going on in your life, steal some time back for yourself. You need that me-time to clear your mind and align yourself with what you really want. 

This can look like: 

  • Meditation

  • Bottomless Mimosa Brunch with friends

  • A massage or mani pedi

  • Curling up with a good book and hot tea

You should always put a little time on the calendar to take care of yourself. 

I recommend taking quiet time daily. Since I'm a parent, my "me-time" starts strictly at 9PM. I also have a no-work policy on Friday and Saturday nights. (I may not be out clubbing like I used to when I was 21, but I'm definitely going to sit on the couch and drink some wine.)

When will you take your me-time? Put that on your calendar.

 

THIRD, PLAN TO Take care of your relationships

Whether you're married (or have a super sexy new beau) it's important to plan some time each week to show them that you care. Maintaining a relationship (even those that are ten years old) requires an investment of your time.

I'd also wrap your relationship with your children into this as well. 

As a single lady with an adorable 10-year-old, I always make sure that I make time for her. That can come in the form of playing video games with her or spending hours on the couch watching all of her fav shows. 

When's date night? Are you baking cookies with your baby? Put that time on the calendar.  

 

FINALLY, PLAN TO WORK TOWARDS your goals

I know it's odd to put this last when you're planning your week for optimal goal-getting, but there's a method to my madness, I promise. :) 

When you know that your home is taken care of, you're not burnt out and your relationships are thriving - you have more energy and focus to put towards your goals. 

That makes the time you set aside for your goals much more valuable because you can throw yourself into it with no distractions.

Set one goal for the week and then break that goal down over the course of a few days. That way you don't feel pressured to rush through your projects.

To break down your goals, start by asking yourself: 

  • What do I want to accomplish this week?

  • What resources would I need to be able to accomplish this goal?

  • What do I need to do to accomplish this goal?

Now, put time on the calendar to get the resources you need, learn any new material and do each step on your list of action items. 

Accomplishing your goals happens over time in small steps that turn into huge shifts and big wins when you string them together over time. 

 

Every week is another opportunity to get closer to accomplishing your goals but it's also another opportunity to spend time with loved ones and to care for yourself better. The beauty of planning your miraculous week is that you get to choose what your life will look like. You get to create the life you want. All it takes is a little planning. :)

The ULTIMATE Monthly Action Plan To Rock Your Goals And Your Life

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.

monthly goals (3).png

Coming up with a goal is actually the easiest part of the goal setting process. You start with evaluating where you are now and then figure out where you want to go - and if you're savvy, you also have a basic outline for how you want to get there.

Related: The High-Achiever's 7-Step Guide to Setting Crystal Clear Goals

But what happens next? 

If you're like 80% of Americans who set a New Year's Resolution... You make 1-5 good attempts at accomplishing your goal and then it falls to the way side is about a month (and likely less). 

What happens for those other people?

You know the tenacious few who are able to persist through the struggle and finally get to the point where they are able to accomplish their goals?

They have a plan. 

We've already talked about how to break down your goals for the year into quarterly and monthly goals. Here we'll deep dive into how to plan out your monthly schedule.

In typical Thrive Lounge fashion, we're going to put a little lifestyle twist on your goal setting ( because we gotta squeeze in time for wine and mimosas). 

Here are the steps to planning out your monthly goals, but do me a favor will ya? Follow them IN ORDER to get the best out of your life AND your goals.

I always set my goals like this to make sure that I remember my life comes first. Goals are important but enjoying your life in this moment matters, too. These steps will make sure you do both. 

 

Step 1: Don't Miss Out On Important Dates

The first thing you want to do when you look at a blank calendar for a new month is put in the dates that matter in your close relationships. That means schedule in the family + friend birthday parties, weddings, potlucks, brunch with the girls and date night with bae.

All of this needs to go into your schedule first because relationships make a huge difference in your level of happiness. 

Do this step first unless your situation is urgent - like if you don't hit your goal, you can't feed your family. (Trust me, I've been there before. It's not pretty.) In every other case, you'll want to invest time into growing your relationships with the people around you. And making it to the important events, carving out the time for date nights and celebrating birthdays - that's what makes life complete. 

 

Step 2: Make Self Care A Priority

One thing many goal-getters forget to do in the middle of all their planning + executing + #winning is taking out the time to care for themselves. I've fallen victim to this plenty of times in the past where I get so busy with work and running around that months will go by that I haven't spent any time just caring for myself. 

This could be in the form of a massage or glass of wine while reading a book after I put my daughter to bed. 

Self care is important if you want to maintain your sanity so schedule it in. I walk for about 40 mins in the morning, journal + read for about 30 minutes to an hour after my work day ends. I also have a strict no-work policy on Fridays and Saturdays so I can spend them completely to myself or with family and friends.

Figure out what activities make you feel relaxes and rejuvenated, schedule them in on the calendar and finally say buh-bye to burnout. #NotSorry

 

Step 3: Break Your Monthly Goals Into Small, Actionable Steps

Ok, now that you have your important dates + self care time on the calendar. Schedule in your action items. 

I like to break my monthly goals down into 4 goals and schedule one goal to be completed each week. Depending on how large the action item is and if it's my first time doing it, I'll spread goals out over a few days, giving myself enough time to do research, hit road blocks and double check what I've done. (Because nothing leads to more mistakes than plain ol' rushing.) 

Putting your action items on the calendar ensures that you'll stay on track in completing your goals.

 

Step 4: Set At LEAST One Mini Goal In OTHER AreaS of Your Life

Your life is not just work, eat, goals, sleep (though it can really seem like that sometimes). You have family and friends to shoot the breeze with, books you might want to read, a workout routine (and whatever else that makes you your best self.

Try to set one small goal in some of the other areas of your life: fitness/health, education, career, travel/adventure, relationships, personal finance,etc. 

This step ensures that you're not neglecting other areas of your life in pursuit of your larger goal. The beauty of this step is that you only focus on what you want to, depending on your interests and what time you have left over. 

This could look like working out 2-3 times a week, reading that new book you've been planning to read or asking your boss for that raise.

Step 5: Put It On The Calendar

If you're used to taking notes about your life on scratch paper or any available napkin, it's time you get a little more legit and put it on a calendar. It doesn't matter if it's a paper calendar, electronic calendar or dates typed up in Evernote (that's how I'm doing it these days because I like to search my notes). 

The point is... WRITE IT DOWN. 

Once you have a place that you can go back to you can refer to your goals on a weekly basis, you can track your progress and you can see visually what your next month will look like at a glance. There's no rumbling to find that napkin you scribbled your to-do list on, no forgetting your best friend's birthday, no guesswork... just grade-A planning. (Oh, and lots of #winning.)
