How to be productive in 2025: The Ultimate Guide

Productivity can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Small changes to your daily routine can make a big difference. Here’s my guide on how to be productive in 2025 the EASY way!

Reminder: 1 percent better everyday!

  1. Start Strong with a Morning Routine: A good morning sets the tone for the whole day! Try the Mel Robbins 5 second rule if you’re struggling with this! Mine usually includes:
    • Hydration: Water first thing! I love warm lemon water first thing in the morning
    • Mindfulness: A few minutes of meditation or gratitude. (I do this once I get to the office!)
    • Eating a Healthy breakfast is a must. (Don’t forget your protein)
  2. Set Clear Goals: Knowing what you’re working towards is key. I like to pick my top three priorities each day. It helps me:
    • Stay Focused: Keeps me on track.
    • Track Progress: Checking things off feels so good!
  3. Master Time Management: Time management is everything. (This is like the make it or break it when it comes to productivity!) Here are a few tricks I use:
    • Time Blocking: Scheduling specific tasks helps me focus. I time block my most important tasks in the morning!
    • Two-Minute Rule: If it takes less than two minutes, do it now!
  4. Get Rid of Distractions: Distractions are the enemy of productivity. Here’s how I deal with them:
    • Dedicated Workspace: My distraction-free zone.
    • Turn my phone over..I’m constantly getting texts/email notifications and sometimes it’s better to turn my phone over to be more productive!
    • Stop getting up multiple times a day and chatting. This can be done in the morning and before you go home 🙂
  5. Take Breaks (Seriously!): Breaks are essential! They help prevent tiredness throughout the day. I try to:
    • Take Short Breaks: Get up and walk around. Grab me a coffee or a snack!
    • Get Moving: Even a quick stretch helps.
  6. Reflect and Adjust: At the end of the day, I like to reflect on what worked and what didn’t. It helps me!
    • Make a few quick notes about what I accomplished- go ahead and set my to do list for the next day
    • Adjust Goals: If something isn’t working, I tweak my approach.

Becoming Productive in 2025!

Finding what works for you is the most important thing. Be patient with yourself, productivity is a journey. So grab your coffee, enjoy the day, and remember every little bit counts! -1% better every day!

I love to hear people’s stories….. what I love most is how someone’s story can be such a guide for someone else. That’s what I want this little space to be. Where we connect, inspire, tell our stories. Talk about all things from fashion to travel to health or to what gets us up in the morning.

Dolly said it best when she said “Find out who you are and do it on PURPOSE.”

Work life balance that actually feels balanced 😌

It’s not about doing everything, but about doing what matters most to you! 
For me, that looks like: 
- Time blocking my day (work and play!) 
- being selective with commitments 
- Scheduling in true downtime to recharge. This for me is my slow morning routines and going to the gym in the evening!

What does work-life balance look like for you?
