Issue # 188 - April 9, 2013 Do you have days where it seems like you can't get anything done? Maybe you have too many tasks to complete or you feel tired and sluggish. If so, you are not alone. Your health and fitness can have a dramatic impact on your business. It not only affects your productivity, but can also affect your overall mood and life. I've learned this from first-hand experience too. I had my gallbladder removed when I was just 35 years old because of my poor eating and exercise habits. And I used to feel tired all the time too. When I started focusing on eating better and exercising, I felt better almost immediately. In today's Main Essay, fitness expert Scott Tousigant talks about a healthy way to increase your productivity that will have a positive impact on your business. In the Check It Out section, you will learn about the 3 fatal mistakes that can cause your business to crash and burn faster than a controlled demolition. You will also learn how to avoid those fatal mistakes altogether, and instead, create a business that thrives. We hope you enjoy this issue of the Thriving Business Newsletter. Cheers, Denise Gosnell Publisher ThrivingBusiness.com Inc.
A Healthy Way To Increase Productivity
By Scott Tousigant Many corporations have been adopting workplace fitness as a means of increasing productivity with their employees. Today, I am going to explore the topic of productivity in more detail and help you get more of it during your workday. So, how many hours a day do you spend working on your business? How many of those hours are spent being productive? It's important to work hard and pay your dues in order to get your business turning a profit. But spending 12-16 hours sitting in front of your computer may not be the most useful way to spend your time. You may be busy, but you are not being completely productive. Have you ever found yourself staring at the computer screen for an hour trying to get something done? Sure you have. In reality, you only have approximately three peak productivity hours in your day. If you are really focused and have been working on your productivity, you may be able to squeeze out four very productive hours throughout your workday. It's important to know what hours of the day you are most productive and capitalize on them. I am most productive during the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. (Noon). Any other time during the day I can become very easily distracted. Many of my friends work a lot better during the evening hours when their kids are sleeping. All I can think about is quality cuddle time with my wife Angie during those hours… and maybe a bit of tweeting here and there. The point is to work on active tasks during your peak productive hours and then do the passive activities after, during your less than productive hours. I have a secret weapon when it comes to increasing my productivity. It's short bursts of fast, fun home office fitness. Instead of only having three to four peak productivity hours throughout my day, I can easily create an additional hour where I'm super-focused and highly productive. I strategically time my home office workouts for the times during my day when I'm feeling less productive, such as first thing in the morning when I'd rather just sit in the rocker and drink some coffee and around noon when I begin to experience a bit of a lull and feel like taking a nap. Lack of time is nothing but an excuse when it comes to avoiding exercise. So, why is home office fitness so great for boosting your productivity? Your brain is actually being nourished by the BDNF protein which is created when you are physically active. At the same time as your brain is being fed, your body is eliminating stress chemicals that can have a harmful effect on your body and productivity. This is largely due to the increase in oxygen flow to the brain. When you exercise you are creating an environment within your brain that is ideal for problem-solving, time management, increased focus, and greater levels of creativity. And get this… Exercise can actually help create new brain cells. I think we can all use a few more of those. Exercise is the best thing that you can do to help your brain operate at its absolute best. If you are serious about your business you can't continue to put off exercise any longer. Do not ignore the positive impact that it will have on your business and life. The above benefits are the reasons why I exercise regularly and eat well. My focus isn't to lose weight even when I need to drop a few pounds or gain muscle. Those are both secondary benefits that do happen. This makes sticking to a fitness program for the long term so much easier. It's one of the advantages that you have over someone who is following a fitness program just to lose weight. You're not exercising just to improve your health… you're exercising to build your business and boost profits. That's so much more motivating! And here's the good news. In only 10 minutes a day, with very little space and very little equipment, you can maximize your time, while making your body more efficient at burning fat. Click here and I'll show you how I do it. SCOTT TOUSIGNANT and his wife, Angie Tousignant, have been helping busy men and women, just like you, transform their body and life for over a decade. This dynamic duo prides themselves on providing a balanced and practical approach that will motivate and inspire you to become the best YOU that you can be. Scott and Angie have dedicated themselves to sharing their exact workouts, what they eat, and how they stay motivated to continue transforming their body's and life.
