“How Do You Become More
Productive in Your Home Business Opportunity?”
By Lloyd Dobson
When I was a youngster my Dad shared with me a very
fundamental philosophy for doing well. He said son "When you don't study in school your grades show it and when you
are not productive in the market place your pay check
shows it.”
He also shared with me that all work and no play made
for a boring life.
Make sure you do not fall into the
“busy game” trap.
I go to the Sirata Beach Resort in St Pete Beach, Florida several times a
month and get the question all the time; “Wow, you are so busy, how do you enjoy
life so much?”
The truth is, I have a ton of time to enjoy life. How?
I prioritize my time each morning so I can
accomplish tasks in a very efficient and effective
manner.
This eliminates tasks converting over to the next day and stacking on top of
each other and adding stress in my life.
Ever feel overwhelmed as you start your day?
Here are 8 tips to becoming more
productive during the workday to eliminate feeling overwhelmed!
Harness your productivity by taking note of these
eight things:
1) Create a smaller to-do list. Getting things accomplished
during your workday shouldn’t be about doing as much as possible in the sanctioned eight hours. It
may be hard to swallow, but there’s nothing productive about piling together a slew of tasks in the form of a checklist. Take a
less-is-more approach to your to-do list by only focusing on
accomplishing things that matter.
2) Take breaks. You know that ache that fills your brain when you’ve been powering through tasks for several hours? This is
due to your brain using up glucose. Too many people
mistake this for a good feeling, rather than a signal to take a break. Go take a walk, grab
something to eat, workout, or meditate – give your brain
some resting time.
Achieve more productivity during your workday by
making a point to regularly clear your head.
You’ll come back recharged and ready to
achieve greater efficiency.
3) Follow the 80/20 rule. Did you know that only 20 percent
of what you do each day produces 80 percent of your results? Eliminate the things that don’t matter during your workday: they have a minimal
effect on your overall productivity. For example, on a project, systematically remove tasks until you end up with the
20 percent that gets the 80 percent of results.
4) Start your day by focusing on yourself. If you begin your
morning by checking your email, it allows others to
dictate what you accomplish. Set yourself in the right
direction by ignoring your emails and taking the morning to focus on yourself, eat a good
breakfast, meditate, or read the news.
5) Take on harder tasks earlier in the day. Knock
out your most challenging work when
your brain is most fresh. Save your busy work – if you have any – for when your afternoon slump
rolls in.
6) Pick up the phone. The digital world has created poor communication habits. Email
is a productivity killer and usually a distraction from
tasks that actually matter. For example, people often copy
multiple people on emails to get it off their plate – don’t be
a victim of this action.
This distracts everyone else by creating noise against the
tasks they’re trying to accomplish and is a sign of laziness. If you receive an
email where many people are CC’d, do everyone a favor by
BCCing them on your reply. If your email chain goes beyond
two replies, it’s time to pick up the phone. Increase your
productivity by scheduling a call.
7) Create a system. If you know certain things are ruining your
daily productivity, create a system for managing them. Do
you check your emails throughout the day? Plan a
morning, afternoon, and evening time slot for managing
your email. Otherwise, you’ll get distracted from
accomplishing more important goals throughout the day.
8) Don’t confuse productivity with laziness. While no one
likes admitting it, sheer laziness is the # 1 contributor to lost productivity. In fact, a
number of time-saving methods – take meetings and
emails for example – are actually just ways to get out of
doing real work. Place your focus on doing the things that matter most as efficiently and
effectively as possible.
Remember, less is more when it comes to being productive during the
workday.
Enjoy the process of becoming more productive.
