15SIMPLE METHODS
T H A T W I L L
BOOST PRODUCTIVITY
#1 –
“I’ve
started so
I’ll
finish…”
When you start something, finish it.
Trying to juggle tasks is counter-productive and it is very easy to lose
focus.
Focus all of your efforts into one task at a time and the time it will take
to complete them will decrease massively.
#2 - Play Appropriate Music
“When listening
to classical music,
it improves the
ability to solve
problems and
increases
accuracy by 12%”
PPL, 2014
#3 - SET A CRAZY TARGET FOR THE DAY
Setting outlandish goals means
you are raising standards and
getting more done.
#4
PUT…
THE COFFEE…
DOWN…
After the initial
b u r s t o f e n e r g y …
…it will cause issues later
with attention and focus
#5 - WAKE UP WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
“The winners in life think constantly in terms of
I can, I will, and I am. Losers on the other hand,
concentrate their waking thoughts on what
they should have or would have done, or what
they can’t do.”
Dennis Waitley
#6
Breakfast is NOT OPTIONAL
An early morning protein or sugar
boost is just what you need
A hungry stomach isn’t
#7 - DITCH THE PHONE
A smartphone is not smart for productivity
Browsing through…
…won’t get stuff done
#8
IMPROVE YOUR LIGHTING
TO
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
I’d much rather work here…
…THAN HERE
#9
Start the day with your
most difficult
telephone conversations… …when you’re anxious
about these conversations,
the tasks that need doing
aren’t in the forefront of
your mind
#10 – News is great…but very distracting!
Get rid of the alerts and stop
checking, in this case no news
is definitely good news!
#11
AVOID
PROCRASTINATORS
Gossiping with Brenda from
accounts or watching the latest
viral videos at the water cooler is
not cool at all.
Nod at these people when you
pass them in the office, don’t
embrace non-work conversation!
#12 – REACHED A DEAD END? WELL STOP.
Writers block?
Go n e blan k?
Well then, come back to it later!
Completing tasks is important, what’s
more important is completing them to the best
of your ability
#13 – End those meetings slightly earlier…
Pulling that clock back by ten
minutes gives you a chance to
make that call or to respond to
those emails…
#14
If you find enjoyment from what you do, then an
increase in productivity is natural…
#15 – JUST BEGIN
Don’t just lie there, get out of
bed and go and kick some
ass!
