In this pandemic, the lines between work and home are blurred. If you are like most people, we wake up to a lot of zoom meetings and a million other tasks. But we have tips that can help you get things done.
We can’t actually say that you have not seen some of these tips before, but trust us, you need the reminder. Read on and put at least one of them into action today!
Write it down
Every task and commitment should be written down, don’t just remember everything and start putting things into a trusted system.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can use an app to sync every task (like Evernote, Apple Notes, or even Microsoft Outlook). But you can always start with a simple pen and paper.
Finish that most dreaded task
Every one of us has this task on our to-do list that we don’t want to accomplish. Maybe it’s too hard or you just don’t feel like it. But the real key is to DO THE HARD TASKS FIRST…then rest will simply be a breeze… –say this instead!
Don’t let yourself be distracted
With everything so accessible and technology so advanced, distractions such as emails and phone calls will be the top productivity killers. While they are created to make our lives easier, they can also be the crutch that will make us preoccupied with unnecessary things.
You need to take control of your devices. When you have something important to do, put your smartphone on “do not disturb” mode. You can also silence your alerts on your laptop and keep your office door closed for an hour.
Remember to Take 5
No matter how loaded you are with your tasks, after a certain amount of time, fatigue will slowly creep up and it will start making you ineffective. Taking a break, even during the busiest of days, will surely help a lot.
A simple five-minute break, with some stretching and walking around the room will help you both mentally and physically. Resetting your mindset, leading you to productivity. Another tip, STAND UP for 2 -3 minutes, every 40minutes that you are in front of your computer. This protects your spine and neck from pain later on.
Learn to Delegate Tasks
A lot of people hate to ask for help. We think that it will cause us more trouble to explain something than just doing the task by ourselves immediately. But you have to keep in mind that not everything must be done by you alone.
Evaluate your to-do list that we mentioned earlier, carefully. What tasks could someone else do? How can we focus on the more important tasks? Do only the things you can at a certain period and allow somebody else to contribute to your business.
Life is short. You can only accomplish business goals if you have the right mindset and sound body. Staying present is the key to being productive.
