Kevin O’Leary’s Top 3 Productivity Tips!

1.???Use a Daily To-Do List

O’Leary uses an old school approach with his to-do lists: pen and paper. “Every night before I go to bed, I write 3 things on a Post It note that I HAVE to do before anything else when I wake up, he explains.”?Even before taking any calls or opening up his email, O’Leary first accomplishes those 3 tasks.?“[It] sounds small but it has made a huge difference in my productivity he says.”

?2.???Don’t Procrastinate

Wasting time is unacceptable, according to O’Leary. “Make a schedule for yourself and stick to it,” he advises. “Prioritize every 15 minutes of your day.” If O’Leary finds himself getting side-tracked he uses this trick to get focused: “I think to myself, Am I making money doing this? That thought makes it easy to snap out of it.”

?3.???Keep Track of Your Progress

“Keep a weekly, monthly, quarterly journal. Check in with yourself regularly. Take note of what you are doing so you can change strategy if you need to,” O’Leary says. “Think about it:?Every seven days you get a chance to set new goals, reach new heights and get s--- done.”
