December’s monthly productivity tips! – Want to make next year great?










This month we’re focusing on the upcoming Christmas holidays. It’s a time for rest and reflection on a job well done this year, as well as thinking and visioning for what 2012 should look like.

Our gift to you! How to ‘Ninja’ your New Year’s Resolutions!

Tuck into some chocolate
Since for many of us Christmas is a time for indulgence and excess, here’s a chocolate-themed guest blog post: How to change the world with a bag of M&Ms! https://bit.ly/sm938u

Time to unplug… But are you addicted to connectivity?
Many of us have our emails travelling with us these days, even over Christmas (via smartphones, iPads and the like). This is a great time of year to address a BIG productivity problem: connectivity addiction. The truth is, our brains need a rest from all the emails and it’s time to take a stand! Here’s a video from our ‘Beyond GTD’ series, where Lee Cottier and I talk about this very issue: http://bit.ly/q59Gjn

Finally, time to say THANK YOU!
We’re so grateful for all the amazing relationships we’ve built up in 2011, as well as our growing following on Twitter, Facebook and the like. It’s a privilege to see the tangible changes people make as a result of our work and we love doing it too. A big influence on Think Productive UK as a company is Gary Vaynerchuk: American entrepreneur, social media expert and author of ‘The Thank You Economy’. So, to say thank you to Gary and thank you to all of you, here’s a link to a great video of his! This is his keynote from the Inc500 Conference earlier this year. He’s a compelling and entertaining speaker and whilst we love him dearly, this video does contain very strong language! Don’t say we didn’t warn you and I hope you enjoy it (especially the ending!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbHy7yESiyg

We wish you a season with as many of the following as you care to enjoy…

– Some amazing company
– Some great food
– Watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and remembering what’s important
