Because when it comes to being productive, even small things makethe difference.
It is not adding many things that boost productivity but subtracting things that kill productivity
We all would agree that there are days when nothing seems to get done. You just can’t be productive. As soon as you wake up in the morning, the worklist on your brain starts loading up, taking care of your fitness, spending time with family, excelling in your workplace, finishing that book you bought last month, and whatnot. So, much to do and only 24 hours a day! While most people think productivity is all about adding new things to your to-do list, experts suggest that productivity is all about prioritizing and subtracting things that kill your productivity. Are youcurious to know what are those things? Read on.
Just focusing on trivial details and not the result
Being productive is not just a busy calendar or apps that can show your schedules in the fanciest way possible, it is working towards a goal, the result. If you are not showing the results of your effortsthen you are just a busy bee who is aimlessly working. The best way to enhance your productivity is to create and deliver results. That is what sets apart successful people from mediocracy.
Checking devices as soon as you wake up is the worst thing you do to your productivity
When you can focus on your health and well-being, you just waste that time on useless stuff like social media or emails. Stop checking your phone as soon as you wake up. It would distract you and sometimes even stress you out when you see your long-time friend just bought a new car or bought a new home. So, focus more on positive vibes and energy first thing in the morning than checking on the phone.
Stop working on things that are not important
It is important that focus your energy on doing important tasks. And again, we would stress the importance of prioritizing. Not all the things on your schedules and to-do lists are important. You cannot do everything, take one task at a time and give your hundred per cent to it.
You cannot just find time to do things you make time for truly important things
Successful and productive people do not wait for time to get important things done; they make time. You don’t keep your kids on a waiting list, you make time to be with them.
So, how productive are you?
