Yesterday, I focused on 5 ways to help you work smarter, not harder...and boost your productivity. Here are the next 5 ideas:

6. Delete read email. Don't leave a ton of email in your inbox. It's overwhelming, easy to miss something important, and is very time-consuming to search through. Delete email once you’ve read it AND delete everything you don’t want or need. Important details you need? Save them in a folder or jot them down in your planner. This way, your inbox will stay totally clear and you'll have a much better chance of having a productive day.

7. Don’t multitask with important TO DOs. It’s easy to think that multitasking will help you get more done in the same amount of time, BUT WHEN you're working on something important, it’s actually better to focus on ONE thing until you complete it, or at least the portion you wanted to complete. While it's OK and encouraged to multi-task more mindless tasks (like watching TV while you're getting some ironing done), some tasks require more focus in order to make headway.

8. Cut out distractions. Close your door, put your phone down, turn off the TV..., you get the idea. Removing noise and other distractions will help you focus on the job at hand and get it done sooner...and with less errors.

9. Identify your projects that can be done bit by bit. For instance, maybe you have thousands of unnecessary files on your computer hard drive that you've been meaning to plow through and delete. Rather than trying to do this all in one day...which can take hours...commit to looking at and deleting 10 unnecessary files a day (probably 5 minutes or less). No, the job won't be done today, BUT eventually, the job WILL be done...without it being a huge infringement on your day.

10. Eat well, exercise, sleep. Productivity can be greatly affected by the foods you're eating or not eating, whether or not you keep your body movin' and groovin', and by how much or how little sleep you're getting. Be cognizant of what your body is telling you and 'do your body good.' It's very tough to be productive on the outside when you aren't giving yourself a fighting chance on the inside.

If you like surprises (and getting something in the mail besides bills), you're going to LOVE the Fab Fit Fun Winter Box! You'll get an awesome box, loaded with goodies, containing the very latest in beauty and fashion, fitness, and wellness.

Each box is unique (there's one for every season) and guaranteed to have $200+ worth of full-sized, premium-quality goodies for you to enjoy for $49.99. What's in your box will be a surprise...that's part of the fun of it. It has helped me discover new products that I absolutely love.

Plus, most of the items are 'consumables' (things you use up) (cosmetics, moisturizers, hair products, and such), so they don't cause clutter!

Personally, I'm thrilled to be a #FabFitFunAffiliate. Check it out for yourself. Get your very own box and be sure to use my special discount code WINTERFUN to get $10 off! For more details, visit:
