14 Tips that can increase your productivity by 90%

1. Set clear goals

Set a clear goal as to what needs to be accomplished. And,don’t forget to revisit your goals

and measure your progress on regular basis.

2. Social

networking

isn’t that

bad

For every two hours of continuous

working, take a two minute sneak peek to

your Facebook and

LinkedIn profiles. This habit suffices

your social networking curiosity and helps you focus

on your work.

3. Schedule your downtime

You can mark the moments during which you’re really not working on your calendar before or after they happen. This would help you to track the actual time you’ve devoted working and calculate the corresponding outcome.

4. Record. Record. Record.

Ideas get easily skipped from our mind if we don’t jot them down. So if you have an idea,

simply type in and save it into your ProofHub quickies as soon as they hit your mind.

5. A day unplanned

is a day wasted

Make sure to plan before you start working on a given day with your ProofHub’s to-do list. Preferably, you should do it a night before so that you can jump on the tasks as soon as you’re out of bed.

6. Reduce meeting time by 25%

Reduce a one hour meeting to 45 minutes. You’ll see the difference- people who all are participating will arrive early and will be more positive about participating as a result.

7. Switch off pop up notifications

Your email, chat, and other programs that are running on your system and cell phone will throw in distracting

notifications that will divert your attention. Save yourself and turn off these notifications while you are working.

8. Set deadlines

Self-imposed deadlines can be really helpful in getting your tasks done on time. Be it 5 minutes or an hour, set time limit for every task you do.

9. Don’t forget your

personal space

Other than work, to stay fit, ensure a 30-minute workout in the morning, followed by a healthy breakfast. For your loved ones, keep an hour or so in the evening and spend a major portion of weekends having fun with them.

10. Say No to the unexpected

While we’re in the execution mode, the biggest distractions tend to be those unexpected things in the form of – “Can you do this for me? Do u know how to send this assignment?” The easiest way is to stay away from these distractions

is to simply say – NO.

11. Be prepared when

on the go

Travelling should never hamper your work. You can manage all your projects in ProofHub, and connect to your people without being physically present there.

12. Get up and walk

Prolonged sitting can cause serious health damages including inflexible spine and poor leg circulation. A five minute walk along the corridor or taking a stroll to the lobby keeps you more active.

13. Motivate yourself

Staying happy and inspired when you work is very important. Reward yourself whenever you achieve something big. Treat yourself with a dinner at your favorite restaurant, or purchase new clothes or gadgets for yourself. It feels wonderful!

14. Use technology

The right technology enhances your efficiency and saves time. So, stay updated about the latest technology and how you can make the most of it.
