Do you feel like you have too much on your plate, or there just aren’t enough hours in the day? Here are eight tips that will boost your workplace productivity:
1. Prioritize a top 10 list each day. Rank each item that needs to be done and start checking them off of your list. This will create a sense of accomplishment; it’s OK if you don’t get everything done.
2. Block your time. Many people have learned to block their time in 30- or 60-minute increments. With this approach, you can focus on what’s included within each block and accomplish more in your day.
3. Remove any distractions. We hear and see more smartphone notifications than ever before in 2020, and these notifications take us off point from what we need to be doing to be the best version of ourselves each day. Turn off the notifications!
4. Multitask less and focus more. Embrace the idea that people are not great at multitasking and be fully committed to one thing at a time. For example, be intentionally focused in every meeting you attend so you’re not overly distracted by convincing yourself you’re multitasking.
5. Use your smartphone to schedule your weekly events. You can use tools like Calendly to allow others access to your calendar and schedule meetings with you. Bringing organization into your life will be the best thing you ever do.
6. Schedule a few small breaks in your day to check your email or make calls. We all know that life happens, and this will allow you to check LinkedIn every once in a while or call a family member if needed.
7. Protect your time. Teach people that, although you have an open-door policy, they still need to treat it with respect. Tell them to let you know when they can get on your calendar or block a certain time of day when team members can talk to you. They shouldn’t think they can barge into your door at any time.
8. Give yourself a break. Like I already said, it’s OK if you don’t accomplish everything you set out to do in a single day. Give yourself the flexibility to react to urgent situations and push other items onto the next day.
I hope these tips help you have a great 2020. If you have any questions about this topic, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to help you.
