10 WAYS TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE

Page 2: How To Be More Productive: The 10 Ways

It’s inevitable, almost all of us come across someone

that seems more productive than we are.

We wonder how they manage to accomplish

their daily goals, with time left to spare.

Page 3: How To Be More Productive: The 10 Ways

These people are no different from us. They

just know the secret code that leads them to

a productive life. The good news? The code is

not difficult to crack.

Page 4: How To Be More Productive: The 10 Ways

Here are some simple yet crucial steps to help lead a more

productive life...

1. REDUCE TASKS

The issue of managing tasks is twofold:

● filtering

● prioritizing

Page 6: How To Be More Productive: The 10 Ways

1. REDUCE TASKS

First comes filtering. Don’t mention EVERYTHING on your to-do list. Think realistically. Ask yourself, am I really going to get ALL of these done today?

The answer will be “probably not.”

1. REDUCE TASKS

Then comes prioritizing. Arrange the tasks after your filter from most important to least. This way, even if you are not able to tick off every last item, you

will have at least completed the most important tasks of the day.

2. AVOID MULTITASKING

Simultaneously performing multiple tasks kills focus and you

end up completing none of them.

It not only hurts productivity, it results in poorer work qualitycompared to that colleague of

yours who is doing one thing at a time.

...because it is sincerely very difficult to be as smart as a woman.

2. AVOID MULTITASKING

If you want to feel proud of your work,

invest ample time in it, stay focused.

… note that even if you are a woman, avoid multitasking sometimes.

3. UNPLUG YOURSELF

Unplug. Disconnect. Detach.Resist yourself from checking your phone or emails or social media notifications every other minute. These are distractions, nothing more.. Assign time for these activities and limit your exposureto them only in their allotted time.

3. UNPLUG YOURSELF

Unplugging gives a sense of peace and tranquility when everyone is hustling around you. As the Dalai Lama said, “The mind is like a parachute. It works best when it’s open.” So open your mind, withstand the distractions, and try to focus on the topic at hand.

4. ORGANIZE YOUR WORK DESK

Studies show that people who organize their workstations feel

more productive and focusedas compared to those who keep

their desks messy.

Organize it, arrange things, maybe put up some motivational

quotes, and keep your desk clean.

5. BE PUNCTUAL

Being punctual is an important practice to follow. Punctuality keeps you organized, giving you enough time to sort through your tasks before getting into the hustle. You feel calm, a sense of order in your assignments. Punctuality reflects professionalism, and is always appreciated.

6. PRE - PLAN

Just prior to wrapping up for the day, set aside five minutes

to plan for tomorrow. Schedule meetings, assign

work, allot time for each task.

You will be prepared to attack the next day and conquer that

to-do list of yours.

7. CUT SHORT YOUR MEETINGS

Meetings eat up a lot of time that could have been utilized doing something productive. Understanding the goal and agenda of the meeting ahead of time saves time, time better spent working to accomplish the objectives of your short meeting.

8. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HEALTH

A healthy person is a more productive one. Be it

mental, physical or emotional, a person’s health is the strongest

weapon against low energy, procrastination and poor productivity.

8. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HEALTH

Take breaks in between your work projects and

give your mind a rest. Go outside and get some

fresh air. And as the saying goes,

“you are what you eat”, eat right and healthy.

8. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR HEALTH

Meditation can help you feel productive. A tired and weary mind

makes you lazy and lethargic, not a recipe

for good work.

9. KNOW YOUR WORK HOURS

There are some who start right on 6 AM, some at noon, and some at midnight. Knowing when you are most energetic is crucial. Kick start your day when you feel most productive and get more stuff done.

productive, it makes you tired for the coming week.

We call them weekends for a reason. Take

advantage of these daysand unwind.

Relax, spend time with your family, read, whatever helps you to de-

stress, just do it. Working continuously can severely damage

one’s health, both physically and mentally.

accordingly. When you are working, remember these tips and more productive. Get more work done in fewer hours. Aim to

create a productive life cycle for yourself and your teammates. Productivity is a big step towards success and triumph.
