How to Push Yourself Past the Limits to Get Maximum Productivity Out of Yourself

By Jimmy Richardson

Your mind is more powerful than your body and can control what your maximum limits are. Have you ever gotten on the treadmill and gotten to a certain point where you were exhausted but told yourself to keep going and did it?


That is a great example of how you pushed yourself past the limit to get maximum productivity out of yourself. The top millionaires work in spurts of time. This was taught to me by Jonathan Budd in how he works to get the maximum productivity.


It is not substantial for you to try to work eight hours straight without breaks. It is best to work in the 90 minute to 120 minute spurts of time to get the most work done in shortest time. By working in short spurts you allow yourself to metaphorically sprint to the finish line and then have cool down periods before your next sprint.


Allowing yourself to mentally focus in on a goal is the first step to push yourself to get maximum productivity out of yourself. If you tell your mind that you must complete something do not allow your body to stop you from completing it.


The top body builders have mastered this craft of rejecting what their body has to say and only listen to their mind. I don't want you to go and burn yourself out but this is a guide to help you complete more work than you thought you could do.


In order to get yourself ready to push yourself past your limits you must start training immediately. Take a second to write down what it is that you do on a daily basis. Now take a second to write down what you want to do on a daily basis.


Hopefully there is a difference in workload of much more work in what you truly desire to complete. The best way to complete the higher workload is to add one extra task in your schedule until you get comfortable with your regular schedule plus the extra task.


It's all about the build up over time and consistency of you completing an extra load. Let's take push ups as a daily routine that you will complete. Let's say that you can only do 10 push-ups in a row. The easiest way to push yourself past your limits is to make yourself do at least one or two over the 10 push-ups.


If you consistently make yourself do 11 or 12 push-ups in time you will be completely comfortable with that amount. That is the same mentality that you must have to push yourself past the limits for anything that you want to do.


So remember that your mind will control what you do and not your body. Do not let your emotions dictate what you can complete. Make sure that you set your goals and set your schedule to meet your goals.
