3 rutinas productivas para empezar tu mañana

By | Tips

Hablemos de las mañanas… Probablemente, una buena rutina matutina tenga la capacidad de establecer el tono productivo para el resto del día. Algunos días estás conectado con cada pequeño detalle: desde que preparas un desayuno vigorizante hasta que decides probar un peinado nuevo. Pero hay otros días en los que tienes muy poco ánimo y prefieres entrar a la oficina por la puerta trasera, llevando puesta la misma playera que te pusiste el día anterior. A veces pasa.

Aunque los momentos de inspiración pueden infundir de energía nuestro espíritu, se requiere bastante más que magia para tener un día productivo óptimo. De hecho, tú puedes aplicar la ciencia de las rutinas matutinas para impulsar la productividad en tu vida personal.

Pero, ¿en realidad existe una forma correcta de propiciar una mañana productiva? Después de analizar los consejos y las rutinas de seis expertos en productividad, no quedó duda de que hay un par de elementos importantes que un gran número de las personas exitosas incluyen como parte de su día para tener una mañana productiva.

1. Despierta a tu hora correcta.

 

 

En general, se piensa que las personas que están activas desde más temprano son las más productivas. Seguramente has escuchado frases como: “Al que tarde se levanta, temprano le anochece” o la famosa “Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda”. ¿Crees que eso sea verdad?

Un artículo de la Asociación Estadounidense de Psicología, publicado en el año 2012, afirma que los participantes del estudio que se calificaron como “madrugadores” se sentían más satisfechos y saludables que los “amantes de la noche”. Sin embargo, una de las hipótesis de la investigación es que las jornadas laborales tradicionales de 9 de la mañana a 5 de la tarde buscan favorecer a las personas que trabajan mejor durante la primera parte del día.

Es un hecho que las personas que se despiertan más temprano suelen ser más productivas. Sin embargo, eso no quiere decir que las personas que disfrutan las noches no puedan tener días productivos. Tal vez sus mañanas comienzan un poco tarde, pero pueden ser igualmente productivas.

2. Evita las actividades matutinas de toma de decisiones.

En ocasiones, la mejor forma de tener una mañana productiva es prepararse desde la noche anterior. Muchos de los expertos en productividad y personas exitosas pasan sus noches preparándose para el día siguiente debido a que esto les permite tener libres las mañanas para empezar desde temprano el trabajo importante.

El director ejecutivo de American Express, Kenneth Chenault, finaliza cada noche escribiendo tres cosas que quiere lograr al día siguiente.

La efectividad de planificar desde la noche anterior se debe a que tenemos una cantidad de fuerza de voluntad y una capacidad para tomar decisiones limitadas para cada día. La sola idea de tomar demasiadas decisiones en la mañana te hará ir más lento y tu cerebro estará agotado el resto del día. Si puedes evitar tomar decisiones por las mañanas, ¡tendrás más energía y tiempo para que consigas la mañana más productiva que puedas!

Elabora tu lista diaria de pendientes la noche anterior como Kenneth Chenault. Súmate a la idea de que tu rutina matutina puede comenzar después del mediodía: Elige tu ropa. Prepara tu almuerzo y tu mochila para el trabajo. ¿Quieres leer algún libro en la mañana? Escógelo la noche anterior y ponlo en algún lugar tan obvio que sea lo primero que verás al despertar. Si quieres hacer ejercicio en la mañana, puedes dormir con tu ropa deportiva puesta.

3. Crea una rutina matutina para concentrarte.

Quizá el elemento más importante de una mañana productiva sea tu rutina. Casi todos los expertos en productividad recomiendan contar con una rutina matutina, aunque cada día sea diferente al anterior. No se trata tanto de lo que haya en tu rutina matutina, sino de que tengas una.

De acuerdo con Claire Diaz Ortiz, experta en productividad y autora de Design Your Day (Diseña tu día), lo mejor que puedes hacer para conseguir una mayor productividad es crear tu propia rutina de mañana ideal. Ella explica que la manera en la que comienzas tu día hace que pongas los pies en la tierra y garantiza que puedas concentrarte en las cosas más importantes. Debes dominar una rutina de mañana consistente para conseguir tu máximo nivel de productividad.

Social proof and reputation matters

Social Proof and Reputation Matters

Do you ever guess or wonder what your customers are thinking?  I think that is a question we ask ourselves each day with the purpose of increasing our sales and growing our business.  Marketing specialists know that social proof is a new tactic for conveying a message of trust and confidence to the high-maintenance, worry-like customers.

In the last decade, social proof has become a very vital part of any business and this is simply because everyone has the tools to stay in touch, Google something, view a review and so on and this social proof comes along with the reputation that a business builds overtime, because that reputation is no longer a word-of-mouth strategy but it’s a public voice everyone speaks out in an environment, free to express, free to say anything we want.  I also call this Google.   Profit Industry estimated that over 70% of people in the United States look at the reviews prior to making a purchase and that number clearly shows how having a positive social proof online and a great reputation will make a difference for your business.

As we look for strategies to grow our business, we learn that what you have to say does not really matter, it is what others say about you in the public eye.  For example, Search Engine Journal says that nearly 65% of consumers show signs of purchase from a site after analyzing ratings and reviews in search engines.  So overall, social proof and reputation does matter.

A successful start-up in a co-working environment

By | Industry
1

Affordable + Flexible

Startups love the affordability and flexibility a co-working space offers. Renting a co-working space is much cheaper than renting traditional office space and often includes amazing perks and extras such as internet services, conference room access, coffee, and much more..
2

Professional Space

Small businesses usually begin at home, we have heard many great companies started in a garage but that is clearly not the case for everyone, not everyone can become an Apple or an Amazon but we can certainly become a professional business where clients can feel welcome, and ensure that now, in today's modern world, first impressions always count.
3

No Politics

A shared office space means different companies in one place, with a variety of tasks and projects. With such setting, there is less competition and interpersonal rivalry.
Without the traditional office setting, the office politics are simply not there, the need to impress a boss or fight for a position is not needed. It's a fast environment where everyone is really there to work.
4

Motivating

The perks of a co-working environment come at a low price, and part of that price is having the benefit of motivation. Working with others and see them preserve themselves and survive in this difficult economy is a reason of motivation and a co-working place does just that.

How does co-working benefit the local economy?

How does co-working benefit the local economy?

Co-Working is the new trend in business settings. That might be hard to believe to those that prefer a traditional working setting, but vital to know as we try to grow our communities.

Co-Working is certainly not for everyone but it serves as a model to boost our economy by enhancing the productivity and growth of many small business and startups.   It is important to keep in mind that if you’re on the verge of joining the big co-working industry, here a few pointers to create a positive outlook.

Co-Working Brings the Best of the Local Talent

Co-working spaces are an affordable option for the small business owners, the individuals that want to start their own thing in a competitive economy.   Think about it, without a co-working environment, it is impossible for the local accountant to afford an office setting, and therefore these people are pushed to go work in the big city for the big companies.   Co-working helps these talented individuals stay in town, maintain and save their money, talent, and enthusiasm for use in the local economy.

Co-working Brings the Best of Small Businesses

Small Businesses are an important part of job creations, although you hear in the news that ABC Corp or XYZ Inc. create many jobs, that’s not entirely true.  Big companies create jobs to create more services or products, but not because they want to boost the local economy.  Small businesses on the other hand are the light of a local economy.  A small businss owner lives, work and shops in the local town and do care about the personal lives of their employees.

We’ve learned through this co-working journey that 92% of the co-working spaces are usually occupied by small businesses.  Anyone from a simple freelancer, to a tiny DBA or a mid-size LLC are the responsible parties for this co-working growing trend.

Co-working Boosts Collaboration and Networking

Since it’s a shared space, a co-working environment does allow you to interact with other tenants and share professional expertise and really get personal because each person sharing a space is not just a neighbor, he or she becomes part of your day to day.  Versus a neighbor you may see every now and then.  We’ve learned that when a co-working community exists, it stays connected and pushes to preserve and help each other’s businesses by learning new skills, saving money and reducing the need for unnecessary “things”.  It is a true workforce.

By | Business

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE

Times have changed, we are now part of a society where casual Friday has become casual Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in a business setting. These new ways have also impacted the way we conduct business day to day and companies from startups to large enterprises often forget the business setting that gives a promising future. We often forget that a professional presence is vital to any company. Having a professional presence with a good business environment can help companies stand out in the crowd.

As companies work on strategies and approaches we often forget the magic four steps to creating an impactful presence in the industry.

1. A Happy Workplace. A happy workplace increases productivity. Everyone has bad days, no question about it. However, dragging the negative responses or attitudes often affects your colleagues, vendors, and customers. The first step to having a professional presence is to stay optimistic.

2. Time is Everything. As the business world modernizes, companies and its employees begin to adopt late everything and being late, communicates that your time is more important than someone else’s. Everyone is busy. Punctuality is vital to a professional presence.

3. Show Clients You Care. Part of having a professional presence comes with building a unique connection with your clients and making them feel valued. Clients enjoys talking about themselves. Listen and show them you care, by going the extra mile and showing them they are valuable parts of your business. And always include a smile in your conversation. Value brings trust and trust brings loyalty.

4. Where you conduct business matters. A professional presence is one that shows confidence and where you conduct business matters. It is vital to have a professional physical presence in the community because that brings trust, confidence and realiability to clients, vendors and it simply boosts growth in your company.
