How many of you thought of an incredible idea or had an opportunity at the tip of your fingers, but didn’t proceed because of self doubt or distractions?
My BIGGEST productivity killer is distractions. I’m a ‘dot my I’s and cross my T’s...’ kinda gal, and I can become easily distracted by my drive. If I’m browsing something, I want to know all the details. I like to know how things work, and I’m an extreme problem solver. This can easily distract you in our digital world. These aren’t bad traits. These just can be the result of time wasted scrolling on a newsfeed on social media that can bring absolutely nothing of value to your life.
With my time permanently off of social media, I’ve been connecting deeply with friends that I haven’t talked to in months. I’m more attentive to my kids and focused on being in the moment. I’ve placed my phone down without any anxiety about missing out on information from social media because the people I care most about I’m reaching out personally to them. I feel we loose touch with social media. We waste so much of our time being zombies and scrolling away out of boredom.
I’m working on two innovation projects that are in the works currently. I’m listening to podcasts, reading, and I have been so much more organized than I ever been. I think we can tax our brain with so much junk that is not useful, that we become disorganized. I literally would give myself anxiety trying to organize my thoughts and tasks for the day. When you allow your brain to rest and only feed it vital information that will benefit you, your family..it will only lead to success.
I’m so looking forward to this new life of unplugging from junk, and plugging into a life of ambition and productivity. The sense of accomplishment I feel at the end of the day is indescribable. If you are reading this, and feel like you are a hamster on a wheel. If you feel like there is more to your life then what you are living. I encourage you to speak with God. Ask him to guide you in the right direction. Go to your phone, delete ALL social media that requires you to scroll through a feed of junk that adds little value to your life. Stop allowing these time killers to take from you. Become productive my using every waking moment to better yourself. Become spiritually strong by feeding your heart and mind with God’s word. Educate yourself by reading or listening to podcasts or audiobooks throughout the day, or on your way to work. Don’t ever limit yourself. Live your life so you can look back and say, “Wow, I gave it my all. There was no holding back.”

An Ambitious and Very Productive and Thankful Momma
