Confront Fear to Improve Productivity

Follow Dave on LinkedIn

My wife is afraid of spiders. I’m terrified of slugs and snails.

The mere sight of a slug or a snail sends my brain into fits. I bet the same thing happens to you at work sometimes with things as simple as new tasks in your inbox.

Sound bizarre? Watch this short video to learn how to improve productivity when fear strikes at the office.


Action Steps:

  1. Whenever you feel fear, confront that fear. Stay and fight. You will find that your fear was unwarranted, and the task you were afraid of was easier to complete than you originally thought.
  2. Use the comments section below to share your everyday fears and methods for confronting them. Let’s talk about it

Principles to Learn:

  1. Fear triggers our “fight or flight” response. When you’re at the office and fear strikes, it’s important that you stay and FIGHT instead of retreating to distractions like Facebook or your favorite blogs.
  2. Once you decide to confront your fear and stay on task, you’ll find that completing the task wasn’t as bad as you thought it was going to be.
