'7' COOL WAYS TO BE MORE EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE WITH YOUR WORK DURING WEEKDAYS, WEEKENDS ARE ALWAYS MEANT TO ENJOY & PARTY................!

 

 

 

 

Often when we work we get the feeling 'bas bhaut hua, Saala kitna kaam hai aur woh bhi itna boring aur Pakau', So for all such wonderful guys and lovely ladies I have something crazy to read which may not be a panacea but certainly will be a jadi booti that may help you all.

Before I write I would like to thank a dear friend of mine for always opposing mine idea of 24*5 his anti thoughts eventually helped me to develop this fantastic approach of doing work with love and curiosity.

 

1.) Start your day by focusing on yourself.

 

 If you begin your morning by checking your emails & text messages, you are allowing others to dictate what you accomplish. Set yourself in the right direction by ignoring your emails when u get up and taking the morning to focus on yourself, eat a good breakfast, meditate, or read the news.

2.) Create a small to-do list always.

It may be hard to swallow, but there’s nothing productive about piling together a slew of tasks in the form of a checklist. Getting things accomplished during your workdays shouldn’t be about doing as much as possible in the sanctioned hours. Take a less-is-more approach to your to-do list by only focusing on accomplishing things that matters most.
   

3.) Follow the 80/20 rule.

 Did you know that only 20 percent of what you do each day produces 80 percent of your results? Eliminate the things that don’t matter during your workday: they have a minimal effect on your overall productivity.

4.) Take on Harder Task Earlier in the Day.

 

 Knock out your most challenging work when your brain is most fresh. Save your busy work – if you have any – for when your afternoon slump rolls in.

5.) Take Breaks.

You know the ache that fills your brain when you’ve been powering through tasks for several hours? This is due to your brain using up glucose. Go take a walk, grab something to eat, workout, or meditate – give your brain some resting time. Achieve more productivity during your workday by making a point to regularly clear your head. You’ll come back recharged and ready to achieve greater efficiency.

6.) Pick Up the Phone.

 

The digital world has created poor communication habits. If you receive an email where many people are CC'd, do everyone a favor by BCCing them on your reply. If your email chain goes beyond two replies, it’s time to pick up the phone. Increase your productivity by scheduling a call. 

7.) Don't Confuse productivity with laziness.

 

While no one likes admitting it, sheer laziness is the No. 1 contributor to lost productivity. In fact, a number of time-saving methods – take meetings and emails for example – are actually just ways to get out of doing real work. Place your focus on doing the things that matter most as efficiently and effectively as possible.

 

Remember, less is more when it comes to being productive during the workday.
