What was your answer the last time someone asked you, “How have you been doing?” If you said, “Busy,” you’re certainly not alone. We hear it more often than not, and to be perfectly honest, we often feel the same way. But here’s the deal: There’s a tremendous difference between being busy and being productive. Even more, there’s a big difference between productivity and focused productivity. As the quote above suggests, being busy and productive without clarity about your priorities and a focus on what’s most important is useless. Heck, you could argue that it’s worse than useless; it’s potentially harmful and damaging. So, how can you avoid the “productivity trap”? Here are a few ideas: - Make a “not-to-do” list. Write down all of the things you’re currently doing that aren’t worth the time and effort you’re spending on them. Delegate them, if possible, or… - Let go of the rest. Focus on the essential items, and if something is not important and not urgent, get rid of it. If you need help with this, check out Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism. - Plan ahead. Once you know what you will and won’t do, prioritize your to-do list. Some people do this weekly, but most people do it daily, mapping out their agenda for the next day the night before. - Do a daily recap. While you’re doing your nightly line-up for the following day, do a daily recap to see how you did. What went well? Where can you improve? - Clear the clutter. Clutter on your desk, your office, your inbox, etc., can be very distracting. Make sure you set aside time weekly to tidy things up. This not only helps keep things clean, it also helps you from getting sidetracked with spontaneous house cleaning. - Put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes the most daunting step is the first one. But rather than paralysis by analysis, just take one step—in any direction. - Batch similar tasks together. When you’re putting together your daily line-up card, batch similar tasks together whenever possible. Set aside dedicated time for emails, phone calls, projects, meetings, etc., rather than sporadically spacing them out. Every time you change tasks, there’s an opportunity cost; that’s right, we’re suggesting that you don’t multi-task. - Set a timer. If you have trouble being disciplined with your time, use a timer. This is an incredibly useful tool for most people. It helps create a sense of urgency, it can alleviate feelings of being overwhelmed, and it creates a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. - Schedule mini-workouts. Physical activity boosts energy levels, helps manage hunger and blood sugar levels, improves cognitive function, and boosts productivity. Schedule 5- to 10-minute micro workouts during your work day. - Improve your communication. If you’re too wordy, you can be leaky valuable time and creating confusion. Keep things as simple as possible and focus on answering questions—not creating new ones. When you combine productivity with focus, well … that’s where the magic happens.   Don’t Eat Trail Mix (unless)… If you’re looking for a snack that actually tastes AMAZING while being surprisingly healthy for you… then my new #1 snack food choice is going to be just what your taste buds ordered. Believe it or not, this #1 snack contains only natural ingredients and is packed with Plant-Based Protein, Fiber, Omega-3s, Antioxidants, Vitamin E, Selenium, Magnesium, Zinc, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, and ancient healing herbs and spices! So, what is it? Trail Mix… But not just any old trail mix will do! This trail mix is downright magical. First off, it comes in 5 delicious flavors that each support 5 different functions in your body—like better-looking skin, improved digestion & gut health, more energy or a calming sensation throughout your mind and body.  A trail mix that changes your mood and helps you look better? How cool is that?! Now I have a confession to make… I absolutely love trail mix because you can eat it anywhere at any time, even for breakfast. Sometimes I crave something savory and salty. Other times I want sweet and chewy. But I always want that satisfying crunch in my mouth that trail mix provides.   I also love that GOOD trail mix is loaded with nutrition—it’s like an entire healthy meal all by itself. But to have GOOD trail mix, you really have to make it yourself at home. To enjoy a GREAT trail mix, you also need to add healing herbs, spices, and rare superfoods from around the globe. After all, virtually all of the trail mixes at grocery stores and online are full of artificial junk and chemicals like:  - Cheap, inflammatory peanuts & candies   - “Dirty” nuts roasted in refined oils like canola, palm, corn & soybean that fry your cells - Artificial colors, flavors & preservatives - Processed sugars - Sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners - Toxic chemicals like GMOs & Pesticides that hurt the soil and planet - Packaging that pollutes our land and oceans YUCK! You definitely want to say GOODBYE to trail mix brands that are packed with peanuts, chocolate candies and up to 40 artificial ingredients! This is why, I’m super excited for you to try a NEW magical trail mix called Toodaloo that is infused with superfoods that give you “superpowers” like improved mental focus, less stress, better-looking skin, better digestion and so much more!  Toodaloo is a super tasty, climate-friendly trail mix that heals the body and planet with every bite. (I’ll explain how in a minute.) Now there are 3 big reasons I love Toodaloo Trail Mix: #1: The Taste Is Spectacular! Unlike store-bought trail mix, Toodaloo comes in 5 delicious flavors, so I never get bored. Chocolate, Maple, BBQ, Coffee, and Hot + Spicy. What’s more, each flavor supports a specific function in your body. Just check out these delicious ingredients and what each flavor does for your body—which sounds best to you? --Turning Heads (Chocolate Cluster): A rich, chewy cacao blend of raw & sprouted almonds, cashews, coconut chips, blueberries, with a delicious tonic of hibiscus flower, sea buckthorn, white rose & goji berry to support better-looking skin and holistic balance.   --Smoke Show (Low-Carb, High-Protein BBQ): A low-carb (3g net), high-protein (7g per serving) bar-b-que mix of raw & sprouted almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, roasted chickpeas, lemon peel, chilies, cumin, smokey spices, and Chaga and cordyceps to support a “feisty mood” and energy flow. Just one bag has 42g of plant-based protein! --Slow Your Roll (Maple Brittle): A maple brittle with raw & sprouted cashews, walnuts, coconut chips, mulberries, cashew butter, ashwagandha, reishi, and mucuna herbs to support relaxation and less stress. --Hot to Trot (Spicy): A spicy lemon-lime blend of raw & sprouted cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, pineapple, apples, golden berries, sultana raisins, chilies, turmeric, jalapeno, cayenne & ginger to support digestion and gut health. (Get ready for your mouth to tingle!) --Deja Brew (Coffee): A bold coffee blend with raw walnuts, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs, fair-trade coffee beans, dates, maca, and lion’s mane to support mental focus and physical energy. All the flavors are really good, but Slow Your Roll (Maple) is my favorite. I eat it in the evening to settle my sweet tooth and calm my body and mind before bed. Then in the morning, I grab a handful of Deja Brew, the coffee flavor, to energize my day. It’s perfect because I don’t have much time for breakfast. I suggest getting all five flavors and see which is your favorite. And if spicy is your thing, you gotta try the Hot to Trot flavor. Think Hot Cheetos but in a healthy trail mix that supports gut health. #2 Toodaloo Uses Only Natural Superfoods and Ancient Healing Herbs Grown in Harmony with Mother Earth Yep, Toodaloo’s 5 flavors contain over 30 Superfoods & Adaptogenic Herbs that support your body’s natural ability to relieve stress, produce energy, support better-looking skin and improve digestion and gut health. This is far more than just another trail mix. This is healing food. Not only does Toodaloo use a superior form of sprouted nuts and seeds that are far more nutritious than even raw nuts (other brands don’t use them because of the time and cost), they also use organic superfruits like goji berries, blueberries, mulberries, and coconuts. Furthermore, each flavor is infused with exotic adaptogenic herbs you’ll never find in other trail mixes like: Lion’s Mane, Turmeric, Ginger, Ashwagandha, Reishi, Cordyceps, Mucuna Pruriens, Hibiscus Flower, White Rose, Camu Camu, Sea Buckthorn, and Baobab Powder. But don’t worry about the taste, these super herbs and spices are what make Toodaloo taste so amazing while giving your body what it needs to perform your best. Plus, Toodaloo is: --Grain-Free --Non-GMO --Gluten-Free --Dairy-Free --Made with No Refined Oils (No Canola, Palm, Soybean) --Made without Any Processed Sugars #3 Their Healing Mission Speaking of doing things right, not only is their packaging plastic-neutral, but for each purchase of Toodaloo Trail Mix, they regenerate 100 sq ft of polluted farmland back into the rich, fertile soil Mother Nature intended. That means more nutritious food for you and a cleaner planet for us all. Plus, it helps the farmers—something we all can get behind. To say I am aligned with their mission is an understatement – regenerative farming is what I’ve been preaching for years! Such a GREAT Deal! Because Toodaloo does things the right way and only uses sprouted & raw nuts and seeds, along with ORGANIC superfruits and exotic adaptogenic herbs and spices from around the globe, it’s not cheap. But you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that a bag of Toodaloo Trail Mix is about the same as a similar-sized bag of plain old almonds at the grocery store. How is this possible? It’s because Toodaloo cuts out the middleman (the distributors and grocery stores) so they can pass on the savings directly to you. This means you get your choice of 5 delicious flavors of the very best-tasting trail mix in the world, plus incredible nutrition in every handful like Protein, Fiber, Omega-3s, Antioxidants, Vitamin E, Selenium, Magnesium, Zinc, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, and Ancient Healing Herbs and Spices. Toodaloo is like a healing herbal supplement, a vitamin and a delicious snack all in one! Believe me, it would cost double this if you were to order all the ingredients yourself and try to make your own version at home. Plus it would take a lot of time and effort. But today’s offer is an incredible value you won’t want to miss out on. OMG Guarantee What’s that? You’re worried about ordering because you’ve been burned before by healthy snack foods that end up tasting like cardboard? I’ve been there.
