Bring back your focus to what matters most. Work on the projects that are the real game-changers. Delegate the discretionary work and eliminate unnecessary meetings.

'Servant Leadership' and How Its 6 Main Principles Can Boost the Success of Your Startup
The concept of servant leadership
The 6 main principles of servant leadership
- Empathy. Give trusted co-workers the benefit of the doubt by assuming the good in them. It goes a long way toward instilling loyalty and trust in you from your team.
- Awareness. Care deeply about the welfare of the team members. Don't view them only as cogs in a machine.
- Building community. Build community where both employees and customers can thrive.
- Persuasion. Rely on persuasion rather than coercion to create internal motivation required to complete the task effectively.
- Conceptualization. Servant-leading entrepreneurs focus on the big picture and don't get overly distracted by daily operations and short-term goals.
- Growth. Care passionately about the personal and professional growth of each member of the team.

Plan ahead when energized

Minimize distractions
Minimizing or removing distractions is a great way to keep your productivity high, and it goes beyond just smartphones.
The root cause is our emotional discomfort and a need to be distracted.
Plan your day calendar reflecting your values, and stay on the tasks at hand.

Freewrite
When you are feeling stuck, start writing about whatever is on your mind.
Set aside 10 to 15 minutes. It may start out as a page of gibberish, but soon ideas will start to flow.
Tackle smaller tasks first
If you feel overwhelmed by how little you have progressed, switch to working on mindless tasks that require little attention and allow the mind to wander. Wash the dishes, organize your bookshelf, or do laundry.
By accomplishing small wins, you develop momentum and confidence to overcome your mental block.
Change your environment
- Having a neat, organized desk will improve your productivity and focus.
- A messy space can enhance creativity and help you gain fresh insights.
Play around with your home or office environment and discover what works best for you.
