We live in a society that greatly values productivity. Yet, our attention spans are shorter than ever before.
Here are 4 ways to increase your productivity, immediately. ~ input provided to the algorithm
1. Find a schedule
The first skill you need to learn is how to set up a schedule for yourself.
How do you know when you should be doing productive things? Well, that’s up to you. If there are things you can automate through your email accounts or your calendar (or other means of communication), then set them up.
There is no point in trying to get everything done at once. Set yourself up for success and follow a schedule that most efficiently helps you get the most done with the least amount of stress.
Begin using a time management system so that everything becomes more manageable.
2. Work at the right time
Take good care of your health and make sure you’re not working when you should be sleeping. Working late is an absolute waste of time. You’ll get more done if you work during the hours that your body requires for sleep and refreshment.
3. Take the right breaks
When you are taking a break, don’t just sit there doing nothing! These are times when you could use to refresh yourself and get things done while on a break from what you were previously doing.
Take a walk, meditate, spend time with your family or work on a hobby. This will increase your productivity after the break.
4. Build in some downtime
When you are building yourself up to be a more productive person, it’s important to set aside time for yourself and do things that you like. After all, you’re human!
If you make short work of what you need to get done and manage your schedule well, set aside some time for relaxation and be refreshed when you return to working again.
5. Take advantage of technology
There are many tools that you can use to improve your productivity. Track your time and committed tasks and see exactly where you can make improvements.
Also, make it a habit to use whichever tools are most effective in knowing the workflow so that you can easily manage and organize your time.
6. Don’t allow distractions
When you’re working, you should ignore all other sources of noise: phones, cell phone calls, television, music from the radio or Internet (except for music at work if there is an office).
7. Don’t multitask
It’s important to stick to what you’re doing without becoming distracted — especially by something that doesn’t require your attention in the first place.
8. Identify the purpose of each task
While you are working, it is important that you concentrate on whatever is necessary for that time and nothing else. These are points when you should identify the importance of each activity and how it contributes to the overall goal of your work.
9. Watch time management movies
You can find an abundance of time management movies online that are free to watch. They offer a lot of tips and advice.
10. Be motivated and be patient
There are two types of people: those who want things now and don’t want to wait for them, and those who want to save up as much as they can and do things at their own pace. Both types have a place, but the first type usually ends up being more productive than the second. So, save up your resources for when it’s needed most; you might need them when you’re having cash flow problems or when you’re in need of money for other things.
