Focusing on high-leverage activities at your UPbook facility means spending time on things that produce the greatest results, and **spending as little time as possible on them while still achieving that impact.** Ask yourself: - How can I **complete this activity faster?** - How can I **make this activity more valuable?** - Is there **something else I should be doing** that’s more valuable? ### Prioritize Ruthlessly Remember: working on one task **always means that you’re not working on another.** Don’t try to get everything done around your UPbook organization, because you’ll fail. Prioritize your tasks **so that you stop doing “stuff.”** Whenever possible, shift “stuff” tasks to other members of your UPbook business so that **you** **have time to focus on high-leverage activities exclusively.** ### Protect Your Schedule You’re not prioritizing your time **when you allow others to influence your entire schedule.** Try these tips to protect your all-important schedule: - **Block off your time in half-day segments**, not by the hour. Use this time to work exclusively on your UPbook business’s “rocks,” or the core goals you’re working toward. - **Stop leaving things unfinished.** Having a dozen “works-in-progress” out there isn’t productive; focus on one thing at a time, and finish it before moving on. - **Batch tasks instead of multitasking.** Rather than trying to accomplish several things at the same time, batch similar tasks together and work on them in consecutive order. ### Make it a Routine The fourth step to doubling your production is simple: **make it a routine.** If you don’t hold yourself to these practices around your UPbook business, you won’t get anywhere. If you make them a habit, though, **productivity will start compounding.** ### Cultivate a Mindset of Growth Leverage your UPbook organization’s success by **cultivating a mindset of growth**—it all starts with you. That means focusing on continually learning; **learning is something that offers great returns**. Mentorship and systems development (automation) are other high-leverage activities that are worth your time. Doubling your production **doesn’t mean doing twice the work!** Your UPbook business has everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by you leveraging your time effectively **in order to do more important work in far less time.** [**Choosing Dental Receptionist Courses Online**](https://blog.upbook.com/choosing-dental-receptionist-courses-online) [**How to Teach Essential Medical Receptionist Skills**](https://blog.upbook.com/how-to-teach-essential-medical-receptionist-skills) Tags: [UPbook business](https://blog.upbook.com/topic/upbook-business), [Tips to Double Your Productivity](https://blog.upbook.com/topic/tips-to-double-your-productivity), [Tips](https://blog.upbook.com/topic/tips) #### Written by [Zuhaib](https://blog.upbook.com/author/z) [![UPbook](https://blog.upbook.com/hubfs/UPbook-logo-final.png "UPbook")](https://upbook.com/) #### About UPbook - [Book a Demo](https://innovate.upbook.com/upbook-demo-lp) - [Support](https://www.upbook.com/support) - [Contact](https://www.upbook.com/contact) - [Blog](https://www.upbook.com/blog/) - [About Us](https://www.upbook.com/about) - [Login](https://app.upbook.com/) #### Free Resources [Demo: UPbook Front Desk Demo](https://innovate.upbook.com/upbook-demo-lp) [Demo: UPbook Answers Demo](https://innovate.upbook.com/upbook-demo-lp-0) Copyright © 2018-2021 UPbook [Privacy Policy](https://www.upbook.com/privacy-policy)  |  [Sitemap](https://www.upbook.com/sitemap) |  [Terms of Service](https://www.upbook.com/terms-of-service) Use this little footer to reinforce your message about who you are and why people love working with you.
