Michael Hyatt is a virtual mentor who has written numerous articles and books, and been featured in Businessweek, Fast Company, Forbes, Inc., The New York Times, Success and The Wall Street Journal, to name a few. His big piece of advice? Don’t focus on a negative. When you set your goals and clarify the life changes you want to make, focus on who you do want to be and what you do want to achieve, because your goals are, ideally, where your attention will be focused. For example, if you want to stop smoking because you can’t get fit and stay healthy and your goal is to quit smoking, all you think about and focus on is smoking—and that’s dangerous for your ability to succeed. Instead, you need to frame this in a different way and make it about what you do want. For example: “I want to be healthy enough to run in the half marathon for work in spring.” For this to happen, quitting smoking is a critical first piece of the puzzle, but it’s not your focal point. Being who you want to be is. This also focuses your attention not on the past, but on the present and immediate future. In this way you don’t spend all your time obsessing on who you used to be, or where you’ve been. Hyatt sees this as the secret to succeeding, and, judging from his social following, millions agree.

Rory Vaden authored the best-selling book Take the Stairs, co-founded Southwestern Consulting, a data-driven sales growth consulting practice, and founded The Center for the Study of Self-Discipline (CSSD). He consults with businesses like Novartis, P&G and True Value on the psychology of procrastination, and has been featured by CNN, Fast Company, Fortune, Fox News, Inc., The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He is a regular contributor for American Express Open Forum, The Huffington Post and The Tennessean, and he hosts The Rory Vaden Show. Rory Vaden’s productivity hack is to transform your procrastination until it is intentional. The idea is to think differently about choosing and prioritizing your tasks, because by putting more thought into if, when and how things ought to be done, you change your perspective on both time and productivity. By seeing what does and doesn’t need to be completed right this minute frees you up to make choices, including the choice to “procrastinate” and put if off on purpose. If you can take ownership of your time and the tasks you choose, you are in charge of your life, charting and navigating a course, rather than being moved about by the current.
