Keys to Personal Productivity
No matter how motivated you are, productivity can
fall to the wayside because of distractions. When it comes to organization, you
have to re-evaluate on a regular basis in order to stay current. There are a few
keys to personal productivity that you can implement to get more accomplished
each day.
Determine Daily Priorities
At the end of each day, put together a list of
priorities for the next day. Do not make an overwhelming list. Simply write down
the top 4-5 things that have to get accomplished the following day.
You will deal with interruptions and things that
come up in the day. If you write down a list of items that fill the entire day,
you will be less likely to get it all done. That only leads to discouragement.
Work Uninterrupted in Thirty Minute
Increments
There is no way to keep all interruptions from
occurring in the day. However, if you determine to work for thirty minutes on a
project and eliminate the distractions, you will get a lot done. Most things can
wait to be dealt with until after the thirty minutes are up.
Attempt to work for a full uninterrupted 30 minutes
at least once an hour. You will be amazed at how much you can get done if you
take the time to focus.
Keep a Running List
In addition to the top 4-5 things you write down to
accomplish each day, keep a running list of things that you do outside of the
main things. This includes things that interrupt you and take your time. It will
help you to look back over what you did during that day and feel more
accomplished.
Group Like Tasks
Try to group like tasks together. For example, set
up different times during the day to check your email. Respond to messages
during these specific times instead of check all day long. This will keep you
from wasting time and getting off track.
Set Hard Deadlines
One way to get more done is to set hard deadlines
for yourself. Do not be lenient with yourself on these times. Determine a
realistic timeframe to complete the task and be sure to get it done before the
time clock runs out.
With these ideas, you will be able to get more done
each day. The more you can do each day, the more successful you will be.
