1. Don't schedule every minute of your day

Staying productive during the coronavirus breakout can be a stressful experience. Leave some time in your schedule for relaxation and thought. it's a great time to work on your business as opposed to in your business.

Many leaders tend to book back-to-back meetings which can be very stressful. It's important for a leader to give themselves a break in between meetings to review the information presented. By giving yourself time to reflect and review you are also giving yourself more time for innovation and better results!

1. Focus on three goals to accomplish each day

I have worked with thousands of executives over the last 30 years and none of them gets everything on their to-do list done in a day. In fact, the executives that I have coached who focused on three major goals ended up accomplishing more than the executives with giant to-do lists.

1. Focus on your highest and best use of your talent

When a leader learns to focus on the highest and best use of their talent, they are more productive and less stressed. Delegate work and projects to team members to develop their talents and your productivity will increase immediately.
