Very good and encouraging post. I like the part with smells. I would add to light a candle with nice odor each time we make a successful deal – it can be very effective booster in tough times….

Michael,
Great article jam packed full of solid information. I am trying to emulate your ethics and hope that your info and site will be a suitable mentor for me to achieve my ultimate dream of financial security through Blogging and article writing. Any personal tips would be greatly appreciated.
Anything learned will ultimately be passed on to help fellow Bloggers who want the same as I do.
F.I. seems so far away at the moment.
I have to do this.

Kind regards

Thanks for your post Nick, Those definitely are all great Productivity tips, I do think that I indeed already put attention to most of them. For example I do have attention for Playing time, also frequently take Breaks, to enjoy and to Recharge, infact during a break I actually got the Inspiration for the idea to (pre) sell Coffee Makers and Espresso Machines on one of my Blogs for the Coffee Breaks only it goes without saying not at night time when you want to have some good Sleep. I also like the idea to make the distinctions of looking at the Environment as a Listening-, Smelling- and Thinking Environment. For what the Listening Environment is concerned, that's the reason that for example on my - Writer's Lifestyle - Blog I also (pre) sell MP3 Players for Writers to be able to use them to Listen to Music when doing their Writing.

Great post Nick. I am too a video producer here in Kenya. I sometimes find Internet very destructive especially when you are working on a documentary project that requires lot’s of concentration…. and someone wants to chat with you. Lately I decided to disconnect the network cable so that I can concentrate on my video projects and I have found it productive. Every month I travel to my home village where I sit down in the wild listening to the sounds of water splashing on the river banks as it flows southwards…. sounds of birds singing …. cows mowing… dogs bark….fresh breeze and connect more with nature. Its usually my greatest times to spend in silence. Vijay Eswaran in his audio book the ‘In Sphere of Silence’ says its good to spend one hour each day in silence especially during the morning hours before the sunrise. During this time you think of what you did achieved yesterday, and ask yourself why you failed to achieve some of your targets.This gives you time to learn from mistakes thus giving you an hint on what to work on during the day. Also spend 20minutes of the time to read an inspiration book or listen to a inspirational audio. Spend the last ten minutes saying a prayer to God for help. I have found it work. I find my days shorter because I am always busy!

Kudos Nick. your article truly inspired me!
