Can Chunking Increase Your Productivity?

​An Audio Version for Your  Convenience

Word for Week 10: Productivity

Definition: “ …. getting important things done consistently!”

Insight: “Being productive is about maintaining a steady, average speed on a few things, not maximum speed on everything.”  - JamesCare.com
 
This should ring true for physical fitness enthusiasts because it makes perfect sense to develop certain aspects of your health and fitness routine and not try to build up your entire body all at once.  It just doesn’t work.
 
Well, being productive with Database fitness is the same.  Your progress may seem infinitesimal in the beginning, however, by maintaining a steady, regular practice over a determined amount of time you’ll see stunning results.
 
Fortunately, with Database Fitness you can develop a routine that won’t make your entire body hurt …although there can be occasional feeling of disappointment in your results, ….but don’t allow that to change your Database Fitness routine!
Not unlike Physical Fitness, Database Fitness can wear you out pretty quickly if you don’t have a system to help guide you through the difficult patches.

You don’t need a gym membership or an expensive workout machine to start improving your status in physical fitness. And the same goes for Database Fitness. While you will need a system of some sort (S.Y.S.T.E.M.) to Save You Some Time, Energy and Money …it’s really the way you go about building your database that produces the outcome you desire.

​You may already be familiar with the term Chunking when it comes to productivity.  For those of you who may not be familiar with the term, in general, it means breaking down difficult or tedious tasks, making the job easier and more manageable.
 
Here is just one tip to help you use the “Chucking” Technique in your Database Fitness Routines:
If you have a weekly schedule to publish your newsletters, blogs, videos or whatever consistent content you’ve elected to share with your audience, then pick a topic that you know will be useful and create a full month at one time.  That’s only four or five and you’re done!  Just be sure to keep a reminder in place, to start the next series before you run out!

I can hear some of you saying … “But Ms. P…I can’t find time to write one article, how am I going to find time to write four or five?”
  Well that’s the really cool thing … when you push yourself to do that bit extra and get it behind you… you’ll find that you’ve made time for other tasks that you never seemed to have time for in the past!
 
Of course, everyone’s schedule and tasks are different, so if you’d like to schedule a chat with me and discuss some of the challenges, you’re having in trying to build your database, here’s a link!
 
Let’s see if together we can find the right systems to help you gain more productivity in your day than you ever imagined!  


Your Database is your most valuable asset and Database Fitness = Database Growth
