Mastering productivity skills in the workplace empowers the employees for higher performance. How productivity can be
increased? Simple tips for you:-
- Start your day to plan for 10 minutes. List out the pending jobs (urgent / important), recurring problems and deadlines. Prioritise them. The first on your list becomes primary goal for you to complete in the morning session.
- Always try to keep your communication short, simple and easy to understand. Know when to speak, to whom and how long? Set start and finish deadlines for the meetings.
- Having good control over mails will increase your efficiency. You can group similar tasks together and tackle them as a block with a deadline.
- Stop the work which you think is unproductive and concentrate on the tasks on the checklist with simple action.
- You are having projects which are too big and complicated? Divide the in to smaller sub-projects and break them down in to individual actions and authority commensurate with responsibilities.
- Avoid multi-tasking as it kills your productivity. Schedule and prioritise your tasks and tackle them one at a time. Focusing on one task will enable you to do a lot.
- Start your day with distasteful task first with fresh mind. Whether to start the day with tasteful or distasteful depends upon the person.
- Decide whether non-critical tasks like replying to emails should be completed immediately or to be postponed. Segregate the urgent and important works.
- Do self-evaluation on daily basis before you leave workplace. Analyse what you have done better today and what changes can be made? Make sure your table is uncluttered before you leave for your home.
