Everybody has got just twenty four hours in a day, then why only few people are successful and other are still struggling on boundary line???There are two ways increase your output either put in more hours or work smarter. Being more productive at work isn't rocket science, but it does require being more deliberate about how you manage your time. Following are the super tips to increase the productivity at work.
Track and analyse how much time you are spending on each task. You may think you're pretty good at gauging how much time you're spending on various tasks. However, some research suggests only around 17 percent of people are able to accurately estimate the passage of time. If you carefully analyse and prepare proper timetable including your daily basis activities it will easy to get more output in a certain time slot. Take Regular Pauses. It sounds counterintuitive, but taking scheduled breaks can actually help improve concentration. Some research has shown that taking short breaks during long tasks helps you to maintain a constant level of performance; while working at a task without breaks leads to a steady decline in performance. Set self-imposed deadline to each task. While we usually think of a stress as a bad thing, a manageable level of self-imposed stress can actually be helpful in terms of giving us focus and helping us meet our goals. For open-ended tasks or projects, try giving yourself a deadline, and then stick to it. You may be surprised to discover just how focused and productive you can be when you're watching the clock. Follow the "two-minute rule." Entrepreneur Steve Olenski recommends implementing the "two-minute rule" to make the most of small windows of time that you have at work. The idea is this: If you see a task or action that you know can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. According to Olenski, completing the task right away actually takes less time than having to get back to it later. Hold standing meetings. If you absolutely must have a meeting, there's some evidence that standing meetings (they're just what they sound like everyone stands) can result in increased group arousal, decreased territoriality, and improved group performance. Quit multitasking. While we tend to think of the ability to multitask as an important skill for increasing efficiency, the opposite may in fact be true. Psychologists have found attempting to do several tasks at once can result in lost time and productivity. Instead, make a habit of committing to a single task before moving on to your next project. Give up on the illusion of perfection. It's common for entrepreneurs to get hung up on attempting to perfect a task--the reality is nothing is ever perfect. Rather than wasting time chasing after this illusion, bang out your task to the best of your ability and move on. It's better to complete the task and move it off your plate; if need be, you can always come back and adjust or improve it later. Take workout breaks. Using work time to exercise may actually help improve productivity, according to a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. If possible, build in set times during the week for taking a walk or going to the gym. Getting your blood pumping could be just what's needed to clear your head and get your focus back. Turn off notifications. No one can be expected to resist the allure of an email, voicemail, social apps or text notification. During work hours, turn off your notifications, and instead build in time to check email and messages. Minimize Distractions. Having a colleague pop her head into your office to chat may seem innocuous, but even brief interruptions appear to produce a change in work pattern and a corresponding drop in productivity. Minimizing interruptions may mean setting office hours, keeping your door closed, or working from home for time-sensitive projects.
