A good way to motivate yourself to begin increasing productivity is to tell other people about it. Once you let other people in on your goals you instantly become accountable for reaching them. Let’s be honest our friends are just waiting for the chance to call us out when we’re not adhering to our goals. In addition to those who have that ever increasing need to say “I told you so” or “I knew you couldn’t do it” there are others who may offer some much needed encouragement. There may be more people than you think that are attempting or have already reached the goal you’re striving for and are able to offer suggestions on what you can do. They may also even notice opportunities for you to increase productivity in your life that you never even thought of. Having an outsiders view on things will benefit you even if they are there just to catch you when you’re not sticking to your goals.
