Promote productivity and concentration on the essentials: 5 tips

Hiking in this way not only promotes creativity, but also clears your head and allows you to concentrate on the essentials. But does productive hiking work exactly? And how can this procedure be transferred to the development of a personal success strategy?

1. Choosing the route: Where is the journey going?

For me, at the beginning, regardless of whether it’s hiking or strategy development, that’s the first thing selection the appropriate hiking route. For example, what's important to me is that while my hike was scenic and a bit challenging, it also fit easily into my schedule. For example, on hikes lasting several days such as the Lechweg, the schedule is set from the start by the number of overnight stays booked as well as the firmly agreed times for luggage transport.

Transferred to strategy development, this means: Consider in good time where the journey should go. And then follow this path consistently. Because if you try it professionally here and there, the experience and that will be difficult Background get together that are necessary for top positions. It is true that life, like a hike, cannot be planned completely. But one thing is certain: if you don't pursue a goal, you won't achieve one. And if you act too spontaneously on long-distance hikes, you may not be able to find a hotel room and end up having to carry your luggage yourself.

2. Plan and divide the time correctly

Nothing happens overnight, especially not Success. Anyone who hikes needs patience - not only for hiking, but to get to the starting point in the first place.

This also applies to strategy development: First of all, the strategy must of course be found and planned. But since one is usually not alone on this path, its content must also be communicated. Especially to them Employeeswho need to know what they are working on. And at the end there is the concrete one Implementation of the strategy - and it is not uncommon for one to fail at this point because the time required was too short. It was the same for me in the Lechtal when I had to break off one or the other stage of hiking because I was simply running out of time out of sheer enthusiasm about the beautiful landscape.

3. Enjoy the success and use it for inspiration

Speaking of beautiful routes: The more comfortable section of the trail inspired me immensely due to the beautiful surroundings and gives me the opportunity to think about a thing or two Projects to think because I don't have to concentrate excessively on the path. I was thinking of TV star Manuel Andrack, who fills his head with ideas while hiking, as he explains in the interview. This is excellently possible on a pleasant section of the route.

This is also the case with your personal strategy: Enjoy your big and small successes, even if they are “only” stage victories. They deserved it! Because if you keep panting from success to success, because you only have the end goal in front of you Eyes to have, verlieren You soon find joy, motivation and also the ability to help others People take with them because they cannot communicate successfully.

4. Stick to the rule

You should know and accept the rules of your game. When hiking, for example, it is important to stick to signposted paths, anything else can be life-threatening, especially in the Alps. This happened to me on the last leg of the Lechweg when I wasn't willing to take the detour signposted due to heavy rain and instead chose a shortcut that was also signposted but ended up being very steep. I was then very happy to have arrived safely at the bottom.

Auch im Job should you at some point have left the pubertal defiance phase behind you and be ready to have to learn everything again. Patience, perseverance and a clear vision are the ingredients for a successful start. At the same time, however, one should also anticipate success: Anyone who wants to be a manager should behave (and dress as well) as if he or she were already a manager from the outset. Because that's the only way for managers to even get the idea of ​​recognizing someone's potential (you don't usually look for junior staff with a magnifying glass, but instead take those who put themselves in a position to do so).

5. Always sound out the situation
