    In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun!! Think you can’t have fun AND be productive while you work?! Mary Poppins and I beg to differ!! I’m sharing 10 things you can do to make your workday a bit more fun while still being insanely productive on The Productivity Zone!!

    They say if you choose a job you love, you’ll never work a day in your life… right?! Wrong!! Work is still work, even if you love it. (Especially if you love it.)

BECOME A SYSTEMS SHOP VIB (VERY IMPORTANT BOSS)

Be the first to know when new systems drop in the shop and get special discounts you can’t get anywhere else!!

Hey, you!! Yes, you, scrolling through Instagram a Hey, you!! Yes, you, scrolling through Instagram and thinking about your mounting to-do list while chugging coffee this morning...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your to-do list is NOT your wish list!! 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know studies show that 3 main tasks each day is about all we can realistically handle?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a look at your to-do list today...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ How many tasks are on it?!
✔️ Are you overwhelmed just looking at it?!
✔️ Is it realistic to get done in a day what you have on there?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My guess is probably not. But you can fix that!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎬 TAKE ACTION 🎬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On a piece of paper or on your digital calendar or in your project management app, move tasks around so you have 3 main (priority) tasks each day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you still have things to do, those become BONUS TO-DOS!! (To-dos you can do AFTER the priority tasks each day are done!!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ If you need help breaking that to-do list down, comment below or DM me!!

Mondays are my FAVORITE day of the week!! Why? It’s not just because I ❤️ my job... It’s because I DESIGNED my Monday schedule a certain way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, Mondays are my no meetings, no appointments, no errands, NO INTERRUPTIONS, get stuff done days!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I know for a fact (because I’m constantly evaluating my own productivity) that Mondays are my high vibe, high energy, high productivity days, so I schedule out my week and my tasks accordingly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I do that, I start just about every week in a really productive way. (I say just about because there’s always a doozy outlier every once in a while.) But for the most part, Mondays and I kick some serious to-do list butt!! 📝✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about you? What’s your Monday like? How would you like it to be? You know you’re in charge of your own schedule, right?! 😉

WHY DO YOU CALL THEM FRESH START SYSTEMS WHEN THEY WHY DO YOU CALL THEM FRESH START SYSTEMS WHEN THEY’RE BUSINESS MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because business maintenance sounds like a boring snooze fest!! 😴😴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that fresh start feeling you get at the start of a new year, when you’re turning the page, wiping the slate clean, doing all the business housekeeping, and setting yourself up for success??
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨✨ That’s a special kind of feeling.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One that I want to help you achieve every day, week, month, quarter, and year!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My goal for any system I create is for that system to be built on a simple framework that can be CUSTOMIZED to fit your unique business needs, not just work but work REALLY WELL for your business as it is now (and in the future), and be EASILY MAINTAINED for years to come. 🤩🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why I’ve spent the last 8 years and 2 different businesses perfecting these backend business (maintenance) systems so I know without a shadow of a doubt that they work!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMAGINE...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 never having to worry about tasks falling through the cracks because you have a proven system that tells you what to do and when
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 feeling confident that you’re doing all the right things to keep your business running like a well-oiled machine
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 feeling like a total boss because your business is moving in the right direction and set up for long-term success
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re ready to stop winging things inside your business and completely revamp the backend with my proven systems that you can simply copy and paste into your business, I can’t wait to help you inside Fresh Start Systems!! 🎉🎉
I’m just a girl sitting in front of her coffee a I’m just a girl sitting in front of her coffee asking it to give her superhuman to-do list ninja skills... ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motivation and productivity don’t always come easy (even for me) 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On days where I wake up feeling tired or meh, I have coffee out of a cute or encouraging coffee mug (@rachel_allene is famous for these—about half of my mug collection is from her shop), throw my hair up in a messy bun, drink a lot of water, and put on a good playlist (@taylorswift on repeat amiright?!) 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I’ll rip off the bandaid and jump into the hardest task first. Sometimes I’ll do a series of small, simple tasks to get (and keep!!) the momentum going. ✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Either way, I’m gluing my butt to the chair (figuratively) and getting to work!! 👊🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about you? What do you do to stay productive when you wake up feeling tired or meh? Let’s share ideas in the comments and help motivate one another to get things done!! 💖

I love the smell of a fresh to-do list in the morn I love the smell of a fresh to-do list in the morning. It goes great with a hot cup of coffee and a fully charged laptop!! 🙃🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 Do you prefer to hit the ground running on Monday or do you use it as a warm-up for the rest of the week?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe that a big part of setting your week up for success is planning it out BEFORE it starts!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Doing so will make a HUGE difference in what, when, and how you get things done. ✔️✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ The Weekly Reset Task List (one of my Fresh Start Systems) will help you better manage your time, focus on priority tasks, and actually get things done that move the needle in your business!!

Is February the new January?! 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is February the new January?! 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t know about you, but I went into 2020 with big dreams + goals + plans… and then it all came crashing down. It was not the year any of us expected, hoped for, or even wanted.
 
It was filled with high highs and low lows. It seemed to go by in the blink of an eye and never end at the same time. January of 2021 wasn’t much better. It felt like an extension of 2020 instead of the first month of a new year.
 
And now, suddenly, it’s February!! 🤯
 
But you know what? We can start fresh whenever we want, even every day. Because there’s nothing “magical” about January 1st.
 
The magic starts when you start.
 
So why not start today?! Why not set your business up for success by giving it the clean slate and fresh start it deserves this year?! Why not set yourself up to have your most intentional and productive year yet?!
 
But maybe you don’t know where to start. Maybe you don’t know what to do or how to give your business a fresh start. (Especially after last year!!)
 
Never fear!! 🥰
 
Over on the blog, I’m sharing a few of my very favorite ways to give yourself and your business a clean slate and a fresh start so you can head into the new year refreshed and ready for success!!
 
No matter what day of the year it is, you can start fresh and see success with these tips!!
