What is a productivity consultant? 

A productivity consultant is a professional who helps people better manage their time and energy in their businesses, careers, and personal lives.

Productivity consultants work with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals. What’s more, they can work with anyone looking to be more productive in their daily routine.

Consultants can help with a variety of work-related concerns. They can help with streamlining your schedule, reorganizing your workflow, and planning assignments.

What does a productivity consultant do? 

Productivity consultants can help in a multitude of ways. And it’s important to keep in mind that service offerings may vary from consultant to consultant.

It’s a good idea to do your research and search for a consultant who can address your specific needs and concerns.

Consultants can help with skills like delegation, prioritization, and project management. They can assist with setting goals, managing your time, organizing your workspace, and managing your mindset.

They can also teach you how to evaluate, test, and use productivity systems, tasks, apps, or tools for your needs.

Other consultants may evaluate business operations or workflows. They can identify weaknesses that need to be modified, adjusted, or strengthened.

Productivity consultants can help you: 

• Strengthen, hone, and sharpen your overall productivity mindset
• Help you set and reinforce boundaries for better work-life balance
• Create useful systems, methods, and approaches for your personal work
• Develop practical checklists, templates, guidelines for your business
• Identify weaknesses, opportunities, challenges, and troublesome spots
• Work more effectively with staff, clients, customers, vendors, and others

That being said, productivity consultants can also serve as: 

• Guides or mentors when it comes to learning productivity skills or using tools 
• Accountability partners to help you stay on track while learning new habits
• Coaches to help you reflect on your actions and changing situations
• Cheerleaders or inspirational guides to help you stay motivated
• Trusted partner to bounce ideas and thoughts off on a regular basis
• Unbiased observer of what’s going on in your professional workflow

Why do people work with productivity consultants?

People tend to work with productivity consultants because they are looking for ways to work more efficiently and effectively over the long term. 

For instance, you may be highly talented and skilled in the nuts and bolts of your particular field or industry. 

But that doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to manage the administrative and operational aspects of your daily work.

This can include things like responding to emails, making phone calls, planning projects, processing postal mail, and delegating work to others. 

It’s basically all the other background “stuff” that allows you do to the work you do. 

Managing all these moving bits and pieces in a way that’s comfortable and sustainable can have a big impact on the way you show up to your business and life.

Creating a better work-life balance for yourself can help relieve stress, allow you to feel more in control of your work, and have more time for family, friends, hobbies, and other pursuits. 

How can working with a productivity consultant help you? 

A productivity consultant can not only help you in your business, but in your professional life as well.

Since our work lives are part of our personal lives, the two often influence one another.

The benefits gained from working with a consultant can be far reaching. And this goes further than time spent working with your consultant!

When you work with a productivity consultant, you learn highly valuable processes, skills, thoughts, and approaches.

These can be used for the rest of your life in your business, career, and personal life too.

You can learn how to:

• Delegate tasks to others quickly and efficiently
• Say ‘no’ to unsolicited requests, tasks, and asks from others
• Schedule your day, week, and month in a way that works for you
• Plan projects, assignments, and work flow with thought and care
• Tap into your innate talents and use them throughout your daily work
• Practice the art of gently directing time to your advantage

These learnings can be invaluable. Why? They influence how you work with yourself, clients, customers, vendors, and contractors.

As a productivity expert, I find my clients learn a lot about themselves, how they work, and relate to it.

Some of the benefits of working with a productivity consultant include: 

• Peace of mind knowing your business affairs are well-organized 
• Balanced work schedule that respects your time and energy 
• Feeling more confident in your ability to manage your work  
• Having more time and energy to spend with family and friends 
• Better understanding of how your business works as a whole
• Sense of structure and control in your professional and personal lives  

What are the benefits of working with a productivity consultant?

Working with a productivity consultant can be an incredibly rewarding experience.

While the experience can be a transformative one, the lessons you learn can go much further than you think!

The productivity skills you learn can be used over the next several weeks, months, and years.

Here are seven benefits of working with a productivity consultant:

You get a fresh set of eyes on your work routine

You’re used to working in your business day in and day out.

Plus, you’re comfortable with your routine and can’t imagine doing things any other way.

But what seems familiar to you but may in fact be hindering you from completing your work!

Productivity consultants can be helpful because they bring a fresh set of eyes to your existing routine.

They have no preconceived notions or thoughts about your business or how you work.

It’s like getting a new perspective on your existing business setup, routine, and arrangements.

Your consultant will ask questions about how you work, your tools, and your goals.

The experience itself can feel like a breath of fresh air.

Especially if you’ve felt bored or stagnant in your routine!

You work with someone who is outside of your industry

Sometimes, working with someone who knows little about your industry can be a great opportunity.

Sure, you know a lot about your business, industry, and career. But you may not have taken an objective view.

When you work with a productivity consultant, you’ll be asked to take a bird’s eye view of things.

Your consultant will ask general questions about your business and industry.

This will force you to honestly think about what’s going on in your business and beyond.

In some cases, your consultant may make observations or connections you haven’t previously considered.

And that can be a thought-provoking exercise for you and your business, in and of itself.

You work with someone dedicated to your growth

Do you ever feel like you could use some support when it comes to learning a new productivity skill?

A productivity consultant can help you with that!

These individuals are dedicated to helping you improve your productivity levels.

They hold the space for your professional and business goals and desires. They want to see you grow and succeed.

These professionals act as part consultant, coach, guide, mentor, and cheerleader.

Your consultant will guide, grow, and challenge you.

What’s more, simply knowing you have someone on your side can be extremely reassuring.

You work with someone who works with processes

You’re quite familiar with your daily calendar, projects, to-do list, and meetings.

But you do you objectively view these items as tools to help you work?

Productivity consultants can help you evaluate your overall workflow and processes.

You’ll learn how to think about your work in terms of how you’re going about your work.

How you think about your work has a big impact on your ability to get things done.

For instance, instead of blindly scheduling meetings, you may be asked to create a scheduling process.

Processes can help you streamline your work and save you valuable time and energy.

You work with someone who is focused on solutions

A productivity consultant can help find suitable solutions for your productivity challenges.

They can help you explore and evaluate productivity tools, tips, techniques, and approaches.

No need to spend days or weeks searching for a tool that may or may not be helpful!

A consultant can suggest solutions you may not have previously considered and suggest tool use in novel ways.

What’s more, a productivity consultant can help you find solutions to match your preferences, habits, and personality.

After all, you want work in a way that’s both enjoyable and sustainable.

You have someone who can work with you long-term

Want to experience your business in a different way?

Working with a productivity consultant long-term can help navigate productivity challenges in your business.

You may not have thought about it, but your personal productivity levels wax and wane throughout the year.

Your business also experiences these changes. There’s busy and slow times. Don’t forget those unforeseen delays and setbacks!

From managing clients’ expectations to planning your vacation, your consultant can be a steadying influence during the year.

You work with someone who understands business challenges

Owning and running a business is hard work. You’re responsible for managing your business as well as your personal life.

In today’s busy world, the lines of work and personal life can blur in expected and unexpected ways.

So how can you effectively manage your time and energy?

Productivity consultants understand the shifting boundaries between work and home.

They’re well aware you should have personal time, take vacations, and occasional breaks from your business.

Your consultant can help you identify, create, and set practical boundaries for you to follow.

This helps ensure you have time and space to work on your business. What’s more, you’ll be able to enjoy time away from business with loved ones.

How do productivity consultants work?

Productivity consultants can work with you in a variety of ways.

Thanks to the wonders of technology, many consultants work virtually using online video conferencing and telephone.

Still others may offer in-person services or a combination of in-person and virtual offerings.

Let’s take a moment to review some common ways you can work a productivity consultant.

One-time support with a productivity consultant

One way productivity consultants can work with you is through one-time or limited sessions.

These sessions can address a specific productivity concern, challenge, or issue.

For instance, you may want to create a new schedule or get help with productivity tools.

One time sessions can be helpful for those who have previously worked with a consultant.

These sessions allow for further review, reflection, and expansion upon previous meeting(s).

Ongoing support with a productivity consultant

Another way you can work with a productivity consultant is on an ongoing basis.

These types of sessions may last anywhere from three to six months, to a year, or more.

You can work on productivity issues and concerns that are both large and small.

One great thing about ongoing support is that you learn productivity skills, techniques, and approaches in real-time.

You can make solid gains in your skills because you have regular, predictable, and consistent sessions.

What are simple mindset tweaks productivity consultants support?

Now that you’ve got an idea about mindset when it comes to your work, it’s time to make some changes! 

Here are five mindset tweaks you can make right now to get yourself back on track. 

In my work as a productivity expert, I find these are some of the most common themes that come up for people.

Now, some of these tweaks may seem completely obvious to you. And some may even feel completely foreign.

But no matter how you may feel about a particular tweak, I bet there’s something important you can learn from the following tips!

Eliminate hustle and grind from your vocabulary 

We all know that hard work yield results. You put in the time, effort, and sweat, and you’ll receive recognition, success, compensation, and status.

While putting in the work is important, there’s often a glaring problem with the way people go about it.

You see, many people mistakenly confuse hard work with overwork, burnout, and exhaustion.

They somehow believe they must work long hours without a break, slog through overnighters, or stress themselves out on a regular basis in order to get results.

While there are certainly times when this type of work is necessary, the problem is that the pace can’t be sustained over the long term.

You’ll eventually wear yourself both mentally and physically. By pushing yourself to the limits in your business, you may become overly tired, stressed, and flat-out exhausted.

I regularly remind my clients that they don’t start a business so they can only be in business for one day. They’re in it for the long term, be it many years or decades.

This is why it’s so important for you to work in a way that supports both your professional and personal life.

You should be able to run your business in a way that’s not only comfortable and enjoyable, but allows you the freedom and space to have time for your personal life as well.

So, instead of putting a badge of honor on “hustling and grinding” the hours away, take a giant step back. It’s time to readjust your approach.

Remember: you can still accomplish solid work if you slow down, plan your work, and take consistent action in your work on a regular basis. 

Stop viewing everything as if it’s an emergency 

Do you abandon your to-do list just because a request from a vendor popped in your inbox? Are you always busy throughout the day yet never seem to get anything of value done?

If so, then you may be inadvertently harming your ability to do your work in the long term.

Here’s a simple analogy to get the point across:

Let’s say there’s been a hypothetical car accident. People are in need of medical attention and an ambulance crew has been called to assist.

But there’s a problem. Instead of heading straight to the accident scene, the ambulance crew stops at every occupant-filled car along the way, asking if people need medical assistance.

Obviously, this wouldn’t happen as ambulance crews know what an emergency means: people are in dire need of aid and time is of the essence.

Can you see how the above response would be completely unacceptable?

Stopping at every single car on the way to the accident would unnecessarily risk the health and safety of others. While this is an extreme example, it should give you pause for thought.

Think for a moment about how you’re showing up to work in your business on a regular basis.

Are you truly focused on prioritizing what’s urgent and important at that very moment? Or are you being unnecessarily distracted in the interim?

Knowing the difference between what is truly an emergency and what isn’t, can help you work more efficiently because you’re working on the right tasks at the optimal time.

Remember, not everything can be accomplished right at this very moment.

And that’s totally okay. There’s a time and a place for all aspects of your work.

Allow yourself to focus on your work  

If you want to be more productive on a regular basis, then you need to give yourself the time and space in which to do your work.

This includes not being overwhelmed by a perceived lack of inaction when you sit down to do some work!

If you feel frustrated, stressed, and annoyed when you sit down to do some work…

If you think that just because you’re not working on something now, means that you’ll never get to it…

Rest assured, this is far from the truth.

Your non-attention to other items doesn’t mean you don’t care about your work.

It just means you’re not working on that task at the present moment.

Let me repeat that for emphasis…

It just means you’re not working on that task at the present moment.

And in case you were wondering, this goes beyond any external distractions from your phone or interruptions in your office.

This is about you managing your mindset and allowing yourself to read that report, answer that email, and meet with that prospect.

So, the next time you find yourself having thoughts of, “Hmm, I really should be doing something else instead of this…,” stop that thought dead in it’s tracks.

You can say something supportive to yourself like, “I’m choosing to focus on this task right now.”

Give yourself the time, space, and grace to do what needs to be done.

Let go of perfectionism 

Do you regularly punish yourself for not finishing your daily to-do list?

Have you judged yourself harshly for not editing that report a whopping 30 times?

There’s a big difference between satisfactory and perfect work.

Besides, true perfection is something that can never be truly attained.

Now, this isn’t to say you shouldn’t have some sort of standards in your business or profession.

You do want to produce quality products for your customers and deliver quality service to your clients.

But eliminating the pressure of perfectionism from your daily routine can do your mind and productivity levels a world of good.

Besides, taking perfection to the extreme can become quite exhausting if you apply it to every single interaction and action throughout your day.

Let’s say you need to schedule an appointment via phone. You pick up the phone, dial the number, book the appointment, and get on with your day.

That was a simple enough task, right? But what if we were to look at this through the lens of extreme perfectionism…

Did you pick up the phone perfectly? Dial the number perfectly on the keypad? Use the perfect pen and notepad to take notes? Choose the perfect time of day to call?

Chances are, things were probably good enough. You booked your appointment and got on with your life. You really didn’t need to make all aspects of the interaction “perfect.”

So let this be a reminder that perfection really isn’t a sustainable way of working and living.

You can still accomplish tasks and do your work without having everything be perfect.  

Stop searching for the silver bullet

One of the most common fallacies I see in my work as a productivity consultant is that people think there’s some sort of productivity ‘silver bullet.’

Surely, there’s some ultimate tool, notebook, app, system, or method that will solve your productivity woes?

Well, that’s only part of the story.

A productivity tool, app, or system is a vehicle that simply assists you in getting things done.

What’s much more important is what’s actually driving the vehicle: your mindset.

Your mindset is one of the most powerful productivity tools you can ever use.

An abundant productivity mindset will help you get things done with less stress.

For instance, consider how you’re approaching your daily work in your business.

Do you expect to finish your work or not? Are you hesitant to delegate tasks to your team? Do you seek to learn from your mistakes and move forward with those key learnings?

Instead of spending your valuable time and energy searching for the ‘silver bullet’ of productivity, try changing your mindset.

You’ll be well rewarded when you do.

How to know when you need a productivity consultant for your business 

Now that you’ve learned about what a productivity consultant does as well as some benefits of working with one, let’s dive a bit deeper.  

Let’s review when you might want to seek assistance from a productivity consultant to help you in your business.

Signs you need a productivity consultant: 6 red flags

You’ve got tons of backlogged paperwork 

A business is a complex system made of many moving parts.

What’s more, individual components of the system must work together in harmony in order for the entire business to work properly.

If one of those components should happen to fall out of place, business cannot function properly. 

A large amount of paperwork, like unpaid invoices, documents for review, and mail to be processed means one thing. There’s something majorly overlooked in a business’ paperwork management system.  

And this often comes down to one of two things. Either a system has not been properly set up, or a system has, and is not being adhered to.

What can be even more challenging in these types of situations is that this paperwork isn’t unimportant; it contains key information necessary to run and grow the business. 

A productivity consultant can work with you to create a plan to deal with the backlogged paperwork.

This can take the form of a step-by-step action plan of action, creating necessary filing systems, or helping you determine if this is something you can do yourself or should delegate to someone else in your business.  

You’re loathe to delegate tasks to your team 

Running a business means wearing many different hats. One such hat is the ability to delegate tasks on a regular basis to employees, staff, and contractors.

But if you find it difficult to identify and delegate tasks, you’ll soon be in a lot of trouble. Delegation is a skill that absolutely must be learned in order to run an efficient business. 

You can’t do it all when you’re in business, nor should you. Delegating tasks can mean giving administrative work to your assistant and assigning client-facing projects to managers.

It can also mean delegating to professionals who support your business, such as lawyers, bookkeepers, accountants, web designers, graphic designers, and copywriters.

Working with a consultant can help you better understand which tasks only you can do in your business and which tasks others can and should do for you.

You can also work together to address your mindset when it comes to delegation, role play the act of delegation, and hone your skills over time.

You tend to put out fires on a regular basis 

Do you go to work and seek to put out fires?

That is, do you immediately respond to non-urgent requests without first planning your day? Do you attend to perceived emergencies while bypassing true emergencies?

If so, then you may be running your business through a reactionary mindset. 

While it’s important to attend to urgent items, you shouldn’t let these items direct your days. If you do, you will completely miss out on the bigger picture of running your business.

You need ample time to plan, work, and reflect if you want to successfully manage your business. Putting out fires cannot be your only job. You must take an active approach towards your business. 

A consultant can help you better understand how you’re spending your time on any given day.

They can show you how to conduct an audit of your schedule and use the decision-making process to your benefit. They can also teach you how to effectively deal with unexpected challenges in your schedule.

You avoid planning anything at all costs

Being flexible in business is a good idea. But if you’re being overly flexible or don’t have a plan in place at all, then this is something that you’ll want to rectify as soon as possible.

Failing to plan in your business can cause difficulties down the line. While you may not see immediate signs for concern, over time, you may begin to notice things slowly falling out of place. 

What’s more, this can have an big impact on important factors in your business. And what was once a tiny issue can quickly become a huge pain in the neck.

The simplest of actions such as paying taxes, dealing with an urgent client concern, and updating insurance coverage may rapidly balloon into herculean tasks. 

A productivity consultant can show you how to make planning a regular part of your business day, week, month, and year. They can also help you overcome feelings of overwhelm and stress when it comes to the actual planning process itself.

Learning these key skills, such as tracking what you’ve actually accomplished, can help you better prepare and plan for the future in your business. 

You haven’t taken a vacation in months 

Vacations are extremely important in the world of work. They allow us to rest and refresh ourselves after working hard in our businesses. Yet one area that business owners regularly avoid is not taking regular breaks for themselves. 

Do you keep saying you need to be there for your business? While this fact is true, you also need to take some rest time for yourself. Remember, you’re not in business for only one day. You’re there for the long term.

And there’s great benefits to taking time off from your business. Doing so will give you some much-needed perspective. This in turn can help with thinking and planning in your business.  

If it’s been awhile since you had your last vacation, consider this your lucky day! A consultant can help you set boundaries for your business and personal life.

They can help you craft a vacation planning schedule that works for you and business, develop a strategy for your team when you’re away, and show you how to efficiently plan your return to the office so you feel less stressed. 

You’re feeling completely overwhelmed by your business

What happens when you’re tired and exhausted? You’re prone to making errors. That’s why it’s crucial to stop the cycle of overwhelm. 

Overwhelm can cloud your thoughts and judgment. In fact, I regularly remind my clients of this.

Things need to be done in any business. But not everything needs to be done at the same time. That’s why time management support matters.

When you work with a productivity consultant, they can show you how to deal with feelings of overwhelm in your business.

They can review your schedule, make suggestions to improve your workflow, and guide you on how to manage your mindset.

Do you recognize two or more of these signs in the way you’re currently working? Let’s talk. Schedule your free strategy session.

How to work with a productivity consultant 

Now that you know more about productivity consultants, let’s move onto how to effectively work with one.

These pointers will be most beneficial once you’ve signed up to work with a productivity consultant.

However, they’re still a good foundation for working with a consultant in future, too.

Remove distractions from your immediate area 

One thing you should do when working with a productivity consultant is to ensure you won’t be distracted.

Now, this may seem like common sense. After all, no one likes being interrupted!

But when you’re well into your session and there’s a distraction…well, it’s too late to do anything. That’s why we’re talking about distractions now. 

Whether you meet virtually or in person, plan for an uninterrupted session.

Let others know you’ll be unavailable. Make it clear you are not to be disturbed.

That goes for communication via phone, text, or messages. If need be, temporarily disable non-urgent phone alerts and updates.

You should also ensure your physical environment is prepped and ready for your session.

Remove unnecessary files, folders, books, supplies, and materials from your desk. Tidy up areas in your workspace or office. Close email, browser tabs, programs, and apps.

Similarly, avoid booking meetings in your calendar immediately after your session so you don’t feel rushed.

If you work from home, you may want to remove any pets from your immediate area.

You could also hire a babysitter, ask a family member, or a neighbor to mind the kids while you’re on your call.

These small steps can go a long way towards helping you stay focused during your session.

Describe your routine and workflow in detail 

Your consultant will ask questions to understand your unique situation, challenges, and goals.

You may be asked about:

• Structure of your work day, week, and month
• Your role and responsibilities in your business
• Ongoing client and customer tasks, projects, and assignments
• Your daily and weekly schedule, including meetings, appointments, and events
• How you go about your day and manage your work flow
• When you take meal and vacation breaks throughout the day, week, month, and year
• Which apps, tools, techniques, and materials you currently use

It’s important to answer these questions as accurately and clearly as possible.

Even mundane items, like when/if you take lunch, is incredibly important to your productivity overall.

One client I worked with initially described her daily routine as waking up, getting ready for work, heading to the office, and going about her day.

On further examination, we learned that upon waking up (and while still in bed) she immediately checked her phone for client emails! That was a huge eye opener and game changer when it came to how she was going about her day.

So, the more concise you can be in your answers, the better.

It will help your consultant make suggestions and recommendations based on your situation.

Discuss the intersection of work, life, and productivity

Our lives don’t exist in a vacuum. What happens in one area of our life can spillover and influence others.

Health issues, relationship challenges, and environmental stressors. Financial concerns, family, and friends can affect our workflow.

That’s why it’s important to consider how our businesses are influenced by our professional and personal lives.

When working with a productivity consultant, you may seek guidance when it comes to managing your time or energy throughout the day.

Your consultant can offer suggestions to help you balance and manage your schedule overall.

Share your approach towards work

You’re a unique individual with one-of-a-kind experiences and viewpoints.

You have unique thoughts, opinions, and concerns about getting things done at work.

Believe it or not, this can be incredibly important when it comes to your productivity levels.

For starters, what’s important to your in your business and career?

What matters most to you when it comes to successfully serving clients and customers?

Likewise, how do you want to be known for your work, services, and products?

Sharing your approach will help your consultant better understand what matters most to you.

Discuss your past experiences and challenges

Discussing your past experiences and challenges is an absolute must when working with a productivity consultant.

It shows them the path you’ve taken to get to where you are right now.

Think carefully about your productivity-related experiences, challenges, and frustrations.

Which books did you read? What articles did you review online? What videos did you watch?

Have you attended trainings in-person? Participated in online workshops? Tried specific techniques?

In addition, what were the results of your previous experiences? Was there anything you found helpful or useful? What didn’t you like or like?

If you worked with a computer app and didn’t like it, you should let your consultant know.

Perhaps you tried a planner recommended by your friend. But you only found one part to be helpful. Be sure to mention that, too.

These are all important bits of information for you and your consultant to work with. 

Step into your future productivity dreams and goals 

Lastly, the final part in working well with a productivity consultant is to describe your goals.

What would you love to be, do, or have in future for yourself both professionally and personally?

Some people may simply want to be more productive in their business. That’s a great start.

But what will really help move the needle forward? It’s to be as specific as you can about your dreams and goals.

Do you want to be able to find your client files on your desk in a pinch? How about feeling in control of your daily schedule? Want to say ‘no’ to unsolicited requests with confidence?

Do you want to spend time together with your family…on a Tuesday evening? Want to feel less overwhelmed by your workload and projects?

Finally, let me ask you this: what do you truly want to experience?

If you could wave a magic wand and change things, what would you change?

That’s some true food for thought!

Remember, your future is not too far off.

Above all, the more clearly you can describe your productivity desires, the better you can plan for them.
