The One Key Productivity Tip You Need to Know

​​Are you a small business owner, sales manager, insurance agency owner, or sales rep? If so, you know how difficult it can be to stay productive. Marvin LeBlanc, LUTCF, CNP has the answer for you. His one key productivity tip is simple yet powerful: live by your calendar, not your email inbox. Read on to find out why and how this works.

Why It Works
LeBlanc’s approach is counterintuitive but highly effective. When we get overwhelmed with emails and tasks piling up in our inboxes, we often feel like there’s no way out and our attention gets diverted from what really matters - the big picture of our lives. However, when we take a step back and look at our entire upcoming month ahead of time, we can identify what truly matters to us and make sure that family time is scheduled before any business appointments are put on the calendar. This ensures that our family will always come first and that work-related activities don’t take away from quality time spent with those most important to us. And because of this shift in focus from the inbox to the overall month as a whole, we are able to concentrate more intently on business pursuits when it’s time for them.

How It Works
The key here is organization. Take some time out at the beginning of each month to think about what needs to be done in terms of both personal and professional responsibilities over the next few weeks. Then block out any family time before scheduling anything else on your calendar—even if that means sacrificing some flexibility regarding appointment times or locations in order to ensure that everything important is taken care of first and foremost. Once all the family commitments have been made, only then should you begin filling up your schedule with work-related tasks or meetings. That way you can be sure that those closest to you still come first even when life gets busy!
