6 Simple Steps To Boost Your Productivity in 2019

Jun 21, 2019

1. Be Strategic:

Instead of what you can complete in a day, focus on what you can work toward each day. Experts say that organizing your responsibilities in a digestible way can instantly make you more productive. So, start your day or week by setting some goals or writing a list that way you can physically see your to-do’s being ticked off.

2. Be Honest With Yourself:

Think about how and why you are not getting as much work done as you need to: is it because you're tired? Or you sit next to a chatty coworker? Or do you go on social media too much? Or do you try to multitask? Identify what you believe is the root of your problem with productivity, and think of solutions that address that issue. SIMPLES!

3. Do Your Most Important Tasks Before Lunch:

Priorities and projects with tight deadlines should be done first. Do not get bogged down by emails or meetings, and do not let anything else distract you. Anything that "would be nice" to get done or does not need to be addressed until tomorrow or later in the week can wait, we all know that 3-5pm window is the worst part of the day!

4. Don't Multitask:

Trying to complete several tasks at once only makes you complete each task more slowly and usually costs you more time than if you focus on each task individually.

5. Cultivate space:

One of the primary needs that people require to thrive is a space that is their own. This can be a desk, a bedroom, or an entire apartment or home. The point is that you need to take ownership of some space, and work on making it somewhere you not only love to be but somewhere that inspires you to be exactly the person you want to become.

6. Don't Overwhelm Yourself:

Being ambitious is good until it is overwhelming. Then it is counterproductive. Trying to do too much will only cause you to stress, making you less productive and more anxious. So refine your to-do list, and be intentional about what needs to be done today.
