We all strive to be productive at work, but often find ourselves wasting hours on social media, doing other things, or staring at the walls around us.
To prevent this from happening again, try these effective ways to increase your own productivity.
Be 100% focused
People who achieve success are always focused on a specific task. To do this, you need to isolate yourself from unnecessary irritants, stop (for example) reading Twitter and checking email.
You can only be distracted by other things during breaks between tasks, but not while working on them. Despite the fact that this advice seems obvious, many do not follow it.
Develop courage
This sounds like terrible advice. But often procrastination is linked to an unconscious fear of a task or problem. So it’s important to learn not to be afraid of difficulties.
Don't wait for the right mood.
Today you are not in the mood to do anything. Tomorrow you will be angry, and the day after tomorrow it will be Friday. Don't wait for the perfect mood, start doing tasks right now. Waiting for the perfect mood kills productivity.
Be clear about what needs to be done
Create to-do lists, set priorities, and track your time. This will help you understand what needs to be done and when.
Promise yourself a reward for completing tasks
It could be something intangible, like time spent with friends or family, or something tangible, like a delicious dinner or a desired gadget.
