That Will Help You Become More Productive

Productivity is a word most people associate with work, but it’s more than that. It’s the art of being able to do what you want to do when you want to do it. And in order for us to become more productive, we have to change our habits.

In this article, we’ll share 4 books that could help you get your productivity from bad to good!

That said, here are four books that will teach you new skills and give you useful advice for improving your life:

The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma.

What is the 5 AM Club?

The 5 AM Club is a group of people who meet at 5 am in a park and work out together. It’s an inspiring concept that helps you to achieve your goals. In this book, Robin Sharma talks about the power of small groups, commitment, and the role of spirituality in achieving success.

He says: “In these groups, we find community and belonging, accountability and encouragement — three things that are critical to success but often missing from our lives today.”

In his book, he tells us how to start a 5 AM club in our own lives by applying the principles he has mentioned above. He guides us on how to make it happen by first finding our own small group of people we can trust with our goals, then taking action. We should set small daily tasks for ourselves which will lead us towards achieving our goals. We should share those tasks with others who will hold us accountable for those tasks.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

This book will teach you how to stop making excuses and truly master habits. If your habit is not working out for you, this book will tell you why and how to fix it. After reading this book, many people have developed better habits and found success in their lives.

Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport

Newport argues we should all be working in “deep work” mode, and he has a bunch of rules to help you do that. He says we should spend less time checking email, doing social media, and using our phones. Instead, we should focus on one thing at a time, for hours at a time.

I love this book because it is an argument for what I try to do every day — carve out long stretches of time without distraction. It’s not easy, but it is necessary if you want to be successful in your career or business.

This book is full of great tips on how to create deep work habits and why they are so important. I highly recommend it — especially if you are someone who struggles with distraction (which is most of us these days).

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

I just finished reading the book The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg. In short, it is a great book on how habits are formed and how they can be changed. I found the book to be very interesting and engaging. I am sure that you will find it to be the same!

The Upside of Stress by Kelly McGonigal

Stress is a part of life. We all have stress, but we don’t all react to it the same way. Some people get very stressed out by things that don’t bother others at all. Stress is the body’s response to any demand on it. It can be good or bad and helpful or destructive, depending on what kind of stress we are talking about.

There are two types of stress: acute and chronic. Acute stress is an immediate reaction to a specific demand on your body, such as running from danger or having an intense physical fight with someone. Acute stress is also called “fight-or-flight” because that is the reaction your body has when you are faced with something dangerous: you either fight it or run away from it!

The book teaches you to find the upside to stress and use the benefits while handling the problems.

Conclusion

The best way to become more productive is to read more. Reading can help you be more creative and productive, as well as broaden your knowledge of a variety of different topics. Books are also an entertaining and educational way to learn new skills, a hobby many people enjoy. Here are four outstanding books in the productivity genre that will help you reach your goals:

The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
