We're more than halfway through 2018 and it sure feels like we are busier than ever before. These days it feels like no one has "free time" to do anything. We run late for meetings, grab lunch on the go (if at all), and get home later (and with more work still to do). Do you feel like you're struggling to keep up? I can relate, so I am working on becoming less busy, and more productive.

The most productive and efficient people are those that "own their day" versus letting their day own them. They work to maximize their time to be as productive as possible, not just busy. But before we list the four most powerful steps to a productive day, let's explore the difference between "busy" and "productive" people.

"Busy" versus "Productive"

There is a huge difference between being busy and being productive. You can be busy all day and still feel like you're behind on accomplishing your goals. Have you ever spent hours clearing your inbox only to emerge without having actually completed your goals for the day?

How about clearing 75% of your long to-do list without getting the two really important things completed? You were really busy, but were you productive?

I like to think of being productive as moving the ball a few inches closer to the goal every single day. Imagine you're creating a side hustle blog and trying to build a strong following. You want that blog up and running by Friday. As a productive person you might do the following:

Day 1 would include buying a domain name/creating a website.

Day 2 would be dedicated to strategizing your message and branding.

Day 3 might consist of writing the first blog post, and

Day 4 would be learning how to upload it to your newly designed site.

Boom! This is what it looks like to be action-oriented and result-driven. It might not be perfect, but it's up and running.

Think of the same scenario but this time instead of being the productive person you are "busy" person. The busy person spends all their time doing research, trying to learn all the possibilities, creating long to-do lists, and trying to make things perfect before they start. They can spend days with nothing tangible to show for their time and effort. Busy people tend to be overthinkers and they have an incredible ability to expand their tasks to the amount of time they have available. The busy person starting a blog would likely take three times the amount of time and effort of a productive person all the while complaining that they don't have enough time to get anything done.

Busy people tend to be great at "looking busy" where as productive people are simply "getting it done." A productive person's list of to-do's does not include something like "call Samantha about the reports" because they've already called her and handled it. No wasting time. No dilly-dallying and putting something on a to-do list to just look at later. Consider it done.

How Being Extremely Productive Sets You Apart

Being productive is the core of every high level achiever in the game. Whether its Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins or Jeff Bezos they all have mastered their time management and became extremely productive and results-driven. Being productive versus being busy will be the reason you hit all of your 2018 goals. Here are four powerful steps you can take to become more productive immediately.

Four Steps To Being More Productive

1. Focus On One Thing (at a time)

There are a million things that you could be doing, but what is the one thing that will deliver you the most results first? Do that! Start retraining your brain and behavior to think and operate with this mindset. Check out the book The One Thing by Gary Keller for more on tunnel vision focus.

Another tip that high-level achievers swear by is "chunking." Chunk your time based on your goals and the tasks you need to get done first. That way you can stay focused on one topic instead of bouncing around from one thing to another all day.

2. Master Your Calendar

Become a wizard of your calendar. Scheduling properly can help keep you on track. If it is in your calendar you are more likely to stick to the plan. Throw out those outdated to-do lists!

You can start by notating every minute of what you're doing for a few days including meetings, phone calls, meals, even bathroom breaks and random conversations. Logging your activity for a baseline can help you determine where your time is being wasted - and help you fix it.

3. Think SMALLER!
Learn to set smaller, accomplishable goals. I know this is probably mind blowing but stick with me here. Keep the big long-term goals but then set smaller daily goals to get there. We often overestimate how much we can accomplish in one day. Setting daily goals that are attainable helps you stay on track getting the most important things done even when you get side tracked with "busy work." It's also more encouraging and builds confidence to have a list of three things you can accomplish towards to your successful day versus a long list of 10 that you won't finish.

4. Eliminate Distractions
Distractions are the enemy of productivity. Do everything in your power to give your fullest attention to the task at hand. Ever try to do two things at once, or maybe even three, and fail miserably? We've all been there. Spreading yourself too thin will only hurt you. Not giving your full attention is a sacrifice made on the quality of your thoughts and your work. Learn to be more present and in the zone with anything you're trying to finish or accomplish.

Whether you lean more towards the "busy" side or more towards the "productive" side, do not panic. This is something you can change and get better with over time. We all fall into the busy category from time to time but, during those times, it is important to recognize it for what it is and move forward with action.

Highly productive people are the go-getters of our time making their dreams their reality. They push themselves to be less busy and more productive every day. Try following the simple, yet highly effective, steps to become a more productive person and see how it can change your life forever!

The opening of LeBron James' public school in Akron, Ohio, has lots of people in education circles swooning. The school in the the NBA star's hometown has been described in national media as daring, cutting-edge, and the first of its kind.

But is the school, spearheaded by the NBA titan to serve at-risk students with a STEM-focused curriculum and extensive wrap-around services, really unlike any other school?

Its principal, Brandi Davis, thinks so.

As she told NPR: "[T]he I Promise School is unique because not only are we a STEM-designated school by the state of Ohio, but we have trauma-informed support because we are truly into educating the entire child, the whole child, focusing not just on their academics, but also on their social, emotional needs, as well. And then I feel the missing link in public education is family wraparound support."

Advocates of traditional public schools are cheering the fact that the new school is part of Akron Public Schools, and not an independent charter.

"LeBron James could have followed the well-worn path of other celebrities by putting money into a charter school," wrote Diane Ravitch, an education historian and staunch advocate of traditional schools, on her blog. "But, no, he partnered with the Akron public schools to open a public school. Good on LeBron!"

What Is the LeBron James 'I Promise School'?

The I Promise School, which will eventually serve 1st through 8th grades, is exclusively for students who are academically behind. The school-with financial backing from the LeBron James Family Foundation-is pledging to pull out all the stops. Among its offerings:

Longer school days and school year;

Curriculum focused on science, technology, engineering, and math;

Free college tuition to the University of Akron for students who graduate high school;

Food pantry for families; and

GED and job search support for parents.

All students will receive free bicycles and Chromebooks. And the school's supports don't stop with families. Teachers will get help too, reports the Los Angeles Times:

"To truly provide emotional and psychological services for at-risk children and their families requires well-trained and supported teachers. The I Promise School gives teachers access to psychological services. Every Wednesday afternoon will be reserved for career development. James even hired a personal trainer to work with teachers who want a guided workout."

But the idea of educating the "whole child"-that schools must address the range of non-academic factors that get in the way of student achievement-has been around for decades.

Both charter schools and traditional public schools have built in wrap-around services for students and their families, which is the central idea behind the community schools movement. To name check just a few: New York's Harlem Children's Zone, the Jennings school district in Missouri, and Cincinnati's community learning centers.

STEM programming has also been embraced by many public and private schools that serve low-income students.

And LeBron follows the path of other deep-pocketed celebrities who've opened schools. Hip-hop artist and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs and rapper Pitbull have opened charter schools in New York City and Miami, respectively. Sports stars Deion Sanders, Andre Agassi, Kevin Johnson, and Jalen Rose all founded charter schools.

Celebrities support schools in other ways. Chance the Rapper, for example, has given generously to the Chicago Public Schools.

Perhaps most analogous to LeBron's I Promise School is the one that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Pricilla Chan opened in East Palo Alto, Calif. The Primary School is a tuition-free, private school for low-income families which provides extensive healthcare to students and their families. (Chan, who is the CEO of the school, is a pediatrician.)

So how does LeBron's new school actually stand apart?

"I don't know if it's different, but it's following a promising and fairly early trend," said Julia Freeland Fisher, the director of education research at the Clayton Christensen Institute, which specializes in the concept of "disruptive innovation" in education and health care.

But, she said, that somewhat misses the point: "I care less whether it's unique and more if it creates a proof point, and an infrastructure in the school system, and starts to pressure policymakers to put money behind poverty relief."

What's Unique About the I Promise School?

There are a couple of ways in which the I Promise School stands out, said Pedro Noguera, a professor of education at UCLA who has studied urban education for three decades. First, it's not a charter school. Second, the I Promise School is unusual in the breadth and depth of the services it will offer.

"I think the full package together makes it a very attractive school," said Noguera. "A lot of urban schools, because there's been so much disinvestment in education, can't offer after-school programs or a full range of services. It probably means that [James'] financial commitments won't be a one shot."

While the investment from the LeBron James Family Foundation, which is funding much of the non-academic resources, means that this idea may be difficult to replicate without a wealthy benefactor, the school could still have a broader impact beyond the students it's serving.

"It's shedding light on something that people have been doing for decades, that research has showed is promising, but is still underexplored," said Fisher. "The fact that this is making national headlines in this news cycle, is exciting."
