I write about trading a lot.

But there's a reason I've been able to make over $10k/month with trading

Productivity

Here are 5 ACTIONABLE steps you can do to be more productive today: 🧵

Database

Having a database where you can store EVERYTHING will keep you organised
I love using the NotionHQ software
It's free and in simple terms acts as the notes app on steroids
That's being said, we've humbly tried to log everything we think YOU need to know in this forum also :)

I keep my calendar, schedules, writing, and business notes, all on notion.
My Calendar events include the macro events such as FOMC, CPI, Market Open/Close, etc
There are plenty of other alternatives out there as well
But make sure you have a place where you can store everything that goes on in your life.

Goals

Understanding what you want will keep you organised
You need to create goals based on inputs, not outputs

For example...

Instead of I want to bench 250 by the end of the month

Use goals that will get you there:

I will workout every day
I will use a strict diet and not cheat
I will use protein powder with each meal

Having goals based on inputs will keep you motivated and productive and will also make reaching your goal seem a lot more realistic

Routine

You do not need a routine for the entire day
But it's important that you prioritise the top 20% of your life
Have a simple morning routine or night routine

Something repetitive that you can get into a habit with

Routine = Discipline
Discipline = Productivity

Sleep and Exercise

The whole work 20 hours a day and only sleep 4 hours saying is simply stupid
Make time for yourself to sleep at least 8 hours

Also, put in the time to workout and make sure you're eating healthy

Overworking will cause you to work less
Make time for breaks and Netflix shows
You need balance or you'll burn out

Motivation

It's been studied that people are more inclined to do something when... they are trying to solve a pain rather than try to make a gain.

It was the same for me.
I wanted to become a trader more so I could get away from the 9-5.
Not so I could have money

Whatever you're trying to get away from, put it as your background on your phone

Put pictures of it on the wall

Surround yourself with the issue and you'll be 10x more inclined to start working and being productive.
