One of the most
important requirements for high productivity is high levels of physical, mental
and emotional energy. All highly
productive, highly successful, highly paid people have high levels of energy
sustained over long periods of time.
To generate and
maintain high levels of energy you need to practice proper eating, proper
exercise, and proper rest. You need to
eat light nutritious high protein foods and avoid fats, sugars, white flour
products, pasta, potatoes, candy, soft drinks, and deserts of all kinds. You need to get regular exercise, three to
five times per week, 30 to 60 minutes each time.
Be sure to get lots
of rest, especially if you are working hard.
You need at least seven or eight hours of sleep per night and sometimes
even more. You need to take at least one
full day off each week and two full weeks off each year if you want to perform
at your best.
You should identify
the times of the day that you are the brightest and most alert. For some people this the morning. For others it’s the afternoon or
evening. Whatever it is for you, you
should schedule your most creative and demanding tasks during the time of day
when you are at your very best.
Especially, you should do creative work such as writing reports and
proposals at your energy peaks.
Perhaps your most
valuable asset in your work is your ability to think well and perform
effectively. Maximum performance and
productivity requires that you take excellent care of your physical and mental
health and that you work at your most important jobs when you experience your
highest levels of energy. This is a
major key to high outputs and great success.
