How to Clear Your Head & Boost Productivity

It takes a clear head to boost productivity. When you run a business or lead a team, you’ve always got a thousand things on your mind. There is always much to juggle, issues that need to be addressed, obstacles to overcome, goals to achieve, people to connect with, appointments to keep… the list goes on and on.

It’s enough to create some serious mental congestion in your head. See, all of those balls you’re keeping in the air can effectively cause a traffic jam in your mind. You may sit down to do your work but find that it’s hard to let a creative thought through; you’re too focused on all the day-to-day stuff that you’re supposed to keep track of.

Really engaging in good, creative, productive work requires you to clear that congestion and bring some clarity to your headspace, but how? I’ve got some tips for you that I think you’ll find to be pretty practical, and hopefully help you boost your productivity throughout the day!

Tips to Boost Productivity

Allow yourself some time to get at least a few things done in a clear, uncluttered headspace before you allow email communications to intrude.
