Sticking with the Plan: Keep Your New Productivity Alive

Congratulations: your productivity plan is in place. 

You’re on track to hit your targets and see real business growth.

But here’s the part many overlook:

Now comes the maintenance phase — and it’s just as critical.

Productivity stumbles

The period after a change is the most vulnerable. 

You have gone through the extra attention and excitement of creating the plan. 

Now you just have to do the work. And that’s exactly when complacency can set in. 

The good news, you can use it all to your favor. 

Fix productivity weaknesses

Sometimes you will get distracted, inefficient, and even lazy. 

The fact that this happens is not a problem. 

As long as you acknowledge it and fix it. 

Use the worksheet below to note your weaknesses, identify the cause, and fix it before it happens again. 

Grab productivity opportunities

But what if you made a mistake in your plan? What if the goals are wrong, or your systems are inefficient?

These are not threats. They are opportunities. 

Use the worksheet below to identify the problem, describe the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and devise a solution. 

Stay productive

Don’t expect perfection. 

Expect awareness. Embrace continuous improvement. 

What next

Productivity requires a balance of many things. Tasks are easy, but balance is hard. Contact me to discuss an operational blueprint that will use them all to make your business productive.
