The Contributions You Make in Your Career Start Today
Are you tired of sitting in or hosting meetings where not much actually gets done? The discussions are watered down for the vast audience and a deeper dive never seems to take place. Do you have great ideas that are never listened to? You’re going to need to advocate for yourself in order to have your voice heard. Is your workday unbalanced with very little being accomplished? It’s possible that time you spend in the morning on exercise and meditation should be put into your work in order to give you the best results. You need to contribute to the results that you want to enjoy in your career. This means changing the way meetings are conducted and the number of people in the room, getting louder and being heard, and working to create the most productive daily routine for the success you want to enjoy.
The Most Productive Meetings Have Fewer Than 8 People
Harvard Business Review Article:
Smaller meetings can be more productive than those that bring in a large group because the conversation can be narrowed and topics can be more specific. Too often, businesses expect managers to run meetings that involve leaders of several departments or the entire group, but this isn’t the best way to have a meeting that’s going to actually get things done. When you want to get things done, smaller is better. Think of the one on one conversations you have and how easily you and one other person can come to a conclusion and learn more about what you need to do. Expand this a bit and if you host a meeting with just those that will have a direct impact on the topics discussed, you’re going to have much better results from your meetings. Review this article to learn how to handle the politics of this productivity change and start getting more out of your meetings.

The Muse Article:
There’s a difference between having great ideas that can be well-received and dolling out items that can’t be implemented at all. If you’re spending time in meetings offering up ideas that are simple changes and being ignored, you need to find ways to advocate for yourself in order to have your idea heard, but if this doesn’t work you need to take a deeper dive. Discuss your frustrations with your manager and find out whether your ideas are ones that seem to have no merit, you need to learn more about the industry, or its time to begin to look for a different job because you aren’t going to be taken seriously or listened to at all.

Working when your energy levels are at their peak makes sense. This is a time when you’re going to be able to produce the best results. Does this mean you need to get rid of the early morning exercise routine? Should you stop performing your early morning meditation? Possibly you simply need to have a shift in your schedule that will allow you to get more done. If you start with work and you add protein to your body right away, you’re going to find the first few hours of your day are much more productive. Once you’ve completed a few hours of work and need an extended break, you can do your workout or you can meditate. This shift in your routine and your mindset could easily offer you the results you’ve been missing.
