Great post, Sophie. I think we can all out so much pressure on ourselves in trying to make sure every day is as productive as possible. But those unproductive days are just part of life. These are great tips :)

Love these short, to the point posts - It really pairs things down to the basics and makes tackling problems like unproductive days manageable and understandable. Agree with all the points here. Esp. the last one - sometimes we just need unproductive days to avoid burn outs and sometimes it's the mind's way of telling us we need a bit of a break.

I do start getting worried and anxious if I spend a day withoutdoing anything productive. It is especially hard if you are working for yourself. Because then every moment can be a moment for work. I guess it is the downfall of being your own boss. But I do agree that planning is very helpful. Once you divide everything into small pieces, everything is easier to get through.

This is a timely post! It's really simple and effective. Thanks!

Very inspiring and motivating Sophie! Thanks for sharing x

Nice tips! I used to feel a little guilty if there was a day where i
wasn't very productive but you're completely right, sometimes we do need
to have a bit of a break.

Starting from something small helps me to move to bigger stuff. I would love to be productive everyday at the same high level but it is just not possible.

Ughh! I had the most unproductive day yesterday where I literally sat on my phone for 4 hours. I think I have a problem. Today I should probably follow some of these tips and get on track...

Thank you for reading

Glad you found it useful

Sometimes we have unproductive days, dwelling on them just makes it worse.

Thank you

Absolutely, I totally agree. I've learned not to dwell on unproductive days and just remember I can fix it later.

I do the same; I wasted an entire day chasing new suppliers and even though I was really doing work, I felt like it was unproductive because at the end I only had a couple of new suppliers..

Thank you for reading - I'm glad it helped.

Thanks

You can't force it sometimes :))

Thank you for reading

Awesome - so glad it was helpful.

I definitely find planning helps and I am least productive when I haven't written a clear task list for the day.

Absolutely - I think, when we have an unproductive day, it's usually because either we haven't prepared properly and given ourselves a clear set of tasks to achieve, or we simply need to chill out and take a break.

Definitely - I know I do. It's important to know that it's OK to have an "off day" where we're not as productive as other days. We can't always maintain super productivity!

This is lovely advice, I really like the thinking idea about ways to improve your routine www.jessmcguireblogs.blogspot.co.uk

Doing something small is what I need to remember.

So helpful - I often find I can get a few smaller tasks done when I am not feeling up to dealing with bigger ones! x
