Enchanted pen

We do a lot of work that consumes our energies in a world that never sleeps, not knowing what the solution is. To be honest, everyone understands the importance of being effective and productive. We read, spend time online, and seek advice on how to accomplish it, but we forget or are too lazy to do it. “In a world of constant demands, learning to be productive is the ultimate superpower.” Let’s uncover the tools and techniques that will make you a productivity ninja.

1. A TO DO LIST

I know.. This is on the list of being lazy and not making a list since you constantly forget things. But, in the age of artificial intelligence and voice notes, nothing is impossible, right? So, while you’re making this list for the day, make sure you prioritise the things you absolutely need to do today and list the hardest things first. That way, when you put a checkmark in your checkbox, you’ll be far more satisfied with your work than you ever were. This tool not only increases your productivity but also organises and calms your mind. Now, it’s not necessary for all tasks to be completed on that day; with adequate planning, you can still accomplish them tomorrow. 

2. NO JUGGLING OR MULTITASKING

This is one of the most typical issues that people face in general. They become overwhelmed or just distracted by the multitasking that occurs, and as a result, you always finish very little work in your entire day, which is of course annoying. Juggling work is an art, but not when it comes to productivity. When you concentrate on one task at a time, you can achieve more achievements in less time.

3. BLOCK YOUR TIME ALONG WITH DELEGATION

This is one of the most ancient and successful productive tactics still in use today. But, as the saying goes, “old is gold.” This strategy typically involves allocating a specific amount of time to each work. Appointments are a good example. The typical time frame ranges between 60 and 90 minutes. You can accomplish this by making a colour-coded excel sheet or preparing a document to be printed, as well as on your phone or laptop, whatever is more convenient for you. 

Delegation does not entail passing on your work to someone; rather, it involves assigning a task to someone who is competent in doing it. It’s the same as delegating it to a coworker or hiring a freelancer to handle social media management. As a result, when you delegate, you will have more time to complete your larger duties.

4. SETTING SMALL GOALS

Everyone is aware of this universal rule, yet no one prefers to follow it since we have been swept away by the outside world to consider the greater picture. You must consider the larger picture, but you must do so in small increments. Because you can’t go up six stairs at once by lengthening your leg, you must take it one step at a time. So, as you complete these processes with complete focus, you will see a complete big project and for others, a big image. 

5. ANALYSE YOUR TIME OF PRODUCTION AND LEARN TO TAKE QUICK BREAKS

The difficulty with productivity is that it doesn’t just happen; you have to work hard with your mind and body to get it. So analysing your peak output time is beneficial since you will know that during that time period you can totally focus on one activity and give your all to your work. So you can be a morning, afternoon, evening, or night person, but simply recognizing your patterns will help you live a more efficient life.

Breaks are a good way to keep your body stress-free. But, really, how can we know when a break is over? So make a habit of taking tiny pauses, which might be difficult but are also incredibly helpful in your life. So, whenever you do take a break, keep it to no more than 10-15 minutes. By doing so, you bring mindfulness to your body as well as maybe fresh ideas to your workplace.
