How to boost your productivity?
Our time is a limited resource. We have only 24 hours a day but sometimes it seems that our colleagues or groupmates have a time machine. They always meet the deadline and manage to do additional tasks. There is a question: why some people are better at juicing the maximum out if their hours? The answer is simple: they work smart. There are some tips which can help you to boost your productivity.
1. Get organized. People spend many hours in order to find their shoes or socks. Even in a computer it can be hard to find the necessary file. So you waste your time, trying to find something and this only minimizes your day productivity. Imagine how many hours per week you lose on your preparation! Therefore you have to keep everything in order.
2. Remove distractions. It is not a secret that the Internet helps you to procrastinate. You start working and then you watch cat videos or check how Justin Bieber is doing and whatsoever. Do not do this. Focusing on your work will double your productivity. You can check your E-mail, update your status or post some pictures later.
3. Plan your day in advance. You can write a to-do list. This will help you to dive into your work from the very beginning of the day and you will be able to complete the tasks quicker. There is a wide choice of such apps where you can create a to-do list. Planning your activity in advance let you be more concentrated. This situation is familiar to going to the shop. You are wandering the grocery aisles trying to remember what you should buy then you go home and find out that you have forgotten to buy something and you have to come back. If you had written a list you wouldn't have forgotten anything. So plan everything properly. It must be your motto.
3. Just start. It may sound strange but when you start doing something you will work on it. This is what we call Zeigarnick effect. It is the effect of uncompleted tasks. This term is named after Zeigarnick, a famous scientist. She claims that uncompleted tasks stay in our minds until we finish them. People have intrusive thoughts and feel uncomfortable when something is not finished. That is why you should just start working and you will have 50% of success.
4."Turning off". All people have a finite amount of attention and energy. To avoid burnouts and exhaustion you have to "turn off" sometimes. You can travel or just have some weekend. Working overtime can lead to chronic stress. Therefore, occasional rest can even improve your skills and develop your ingenuinity.
5. Happiness leads to success. Sean Achor, Harvard researcher says that 75% of job success depends on your optimism level and your social support. To improve your productivity you shouldn't be just hardworking, you should take care of yourself outside work. Visit your family, walk with your friends, and buy something beautiful. It will be a breath of fresh air and it will double your productivity.
With the help of these tips you will be able to manage your hours and to get more things done in shorter periods of time.
