 Spring Clean-Up, or Taking a Break From Productivity
Sometimes the best thing we can do to increase productivity is to do something different. Instead of being productive in your office, get outside and take a deep breath of the new, fresh spring air. Take a look at the new plant growth that is taking place. Enjoy the smell of the hyacinths. Never mind all of the wreckage left after this winter's historical snowfall. See what is new and enjoy it.
Spring is my favorite time of the entire year. I guess it is because what proceeds it is sometimes very dark and gloomy like this past winter. I get re-energized at the thought of new life sprouting in my perennial garden. Yes, the work I have to tackle in the garden is daunting and labor-intensive, but the rewards are so great.
Spring is the time to take stock of what new tools and supplies are needed outside. So my productivity tip this month relates to the outdoors. Here are some useful tips.
- Create a vision of what you want the yard or garden to look like.
- Are there any obstacles to impede your progress such as some major repair that needs to be done first?
- Commit your resources. What is your budget? Inventory what you already have. How much time do you need to complete each task? Do you need someone to help complete the job or can you do it alone?
- Gather all of your tools and supplies and create a staging area. Don't forget to have that favorite beverage nearby.
- Begin your work. Take frequent breaks to assure forward momentum.
- Evaluate the results. Go back and look at your original vision. Are you satisfied? Does it work for you/others? Do you need to change anything?
- Celebrate!
