Hard work is elderly school. Smart work is where most productive friends to see how they get it right. Make the shift from hard to smart with our top ten productivity tips.
1. Stop multi-tasking:
Maybe you havent read the news yet, so wel tell you "multi-tasking is six feet under. Its been given the last rights, buried and mourned. The idea that you can focus on over thing at a time and be even remotely efficient has been exposed for the BS myth it is. In case you require to be productive then the first thing you require to do is FOCUS" on thing at a time.
2. Make Lists:
Keeping track of the things you need to accomplish is way less painful when you make lists for every day, every week and every month tasks. And its so satisfying when you cross things off!
3. Get out of your InBox:
How lots of hours do you waste every week with those "quick e-mail checks that finish up as hour-long black holes of" correspondence? Set specific times each day for checking emails, and give yourself a limit to how long youl spend each time. Every e-mail ought to fall in to of categories:
A. Immediately
B.(under five minutes)
c. Deal with later.
*Category C ought to make up a small fraction of your emails. Deal with them at the finish of your work day and get them out of your InBox before the days finish.
4. Take breaks:
Schedule specific breaks for yourself & stick to them. Giving yourself ten minutes every one.5 hours to stretch, go outside or do anything that is NOT work will give you a small brain-n-body boost.
5. Quit the chit-chat:
Social hour is social hour, whether its virtual or at the local bar. Skype, Messenger, Twitter, Facebook or anything that rings, bleeps, pops, buzzes or tweets ought to be turned off in case you require even a modicum of productive time.
6. Prioritize:
What are the most important things you require to get done today, this week, this month? Do them first, when your energy is fresh. Fussing with details that dont take much brain power wastes time when feeling chipper. Leave those small things for times when you only have small bits of energy or focus.
7. Rise-n-Shine(early!):
When you start your day early you give yourself more time to get things done. But theres more! One time you get going (as in: out of bed), you tend to have more energy than in the event you slept in. (But hey, if your're aiming for groggy and unmotivated then by all means, stay in bed til midday!)
8. Clear the Slate (or desk):
Make definite your work space is clear of unnecessary clutter and this includes your computer table top. A cluttered space is no mate to an organized & focused mind.
9. Schedule it:
Appointments, work time, fun time. Not that they wish you to marry your day planner or anything, but making a basic every day, every week & every month schedule that balances work & play helps keep your whole life in balance.
10. File it away:
When a task or project is complete, put it where it belongs. Get it out of sight & out of mind so you can focus on the next task at hand (see #8 in case you dont think us).
