When you see athletes being successful at the highest level, you might wonder how they make it look easy.
Like Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, who is now the National Football League (NFL) all-time leading passer in touchdowns.
You might wonder “how does Mr. Manning make it look so easy to dissect the defense on a mostly consistent basis?
What many might not know is that Mr. Manning prepares everyday for his opponent by watching game-film of the different defense formations, shows up early for practice and leaves late.
Peyton is super organized and that is why he really successful at the NFL.
What can we learn from elite athletes like Peyton Manning?
For starters, it is very important to be really organized because our brains can be at a million places.
Dr. Melissa Gratias explains it in this video below that was produced by MBG Organizing Solutions
In addition, the most successful people take the time out to plan out their day with to-do list the night before so that they can be laser focus on the task at hand.
The point is that with different social media tools that can help us to be really productive, there is no excuse on to why you can’t be productive.
For example, Natalie uses social media tools like Asana, Google Drive and Evernote to remain really organized with her business.
And since I want to be more organized, which has been a challenge, I will aim to use a lot of social media tools that will help me to stay productive.
As for today, I will start using Evernote again because it allows you to put reminders on important to do list like write 1,000 words or listen to a podcast.
Also, the representative from Evernote, Cristina Riesen took the time out of her busy schedule to showcase her expertise on a Twitter chat called #bizheroes a couple days ago.
That showed me Evernote’s dedication to their customers and I believed that if many businesses go out of their way to be where their fans or customers is at on social media, they will gain some new customers in the process.
So if you want to increase your productivity, you must be very organized.
Once you are organized, you will increase your chances at being successful just like Peyton Manning and Natalie Sisson.

I was thinking of starting to use Evernote. This blog post has convinced me it’s something I should finally try. “There’s no excuse why you can’t be productive” – you’re absolutely right. Not with all the tools available today. Thanks for this post Cheval!
