The Major Obstacle That’s Cramping Your Productivity And Creativity
Being unfocused can feel par for the course in our busy and always-connected lives, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s one way to clear your mind and up your productivity.
As a business executive or CEO, it feels like you have about 1000 things rattling around in your brain.
Half-baked ideas, running to-do lists, and seemingly never-ending conversations to have and follow up on are very real requirements of your role.
When you sit down with the intention of being productive and crossing off some of those items in your mental checklist, you have a hard time focusing on the task at hand.
Sound familiar?
This stuff floating around your brain is called cognitive overload or mind clutter and it decreases productivity and destroys creativity.
In this video, I talk all about David Allen’s approach to clearing your mind of this mental clutter. His method is called a mindsweep. It takes between 10-15 minutes and can do wonders for your ability to get things done.
If you want to learn more about the details of doing a mindsweep, watch the video or check out the article I recently wrote about doing a mind sweep on inc.com.
