Top 5 Ways to Increase your Productivity at Work

-





1.     Stop Multitasking

The human brain is NOT built for multitasking. It’s very counterproductive to any of the work you are doing and lowers your productivity by a large amount.

Research shows that productivity can drop by more than 40% when you are constantly multitasking! Easily increase your productivity by focusing on completing one task at a time.




2.     Take Breaks Regularly

Although it might sound counterintuitive, having regular breaks will improve your productivity. Multiple studies have shown that if you continuous work on a project or task without breaks, your performance drops dramatically.

A study conducted by DeskTime discovered that the top 10% most productive workers worked an average of 52 minutes and then took a 17-minute break. Therefore, next time you have a big project coming up break it how into focused times and break time in order to get more work done!



3.     Take Fewer Meetings

According studies, the average office worker attends 62 meetings a month and around 37% of all meetings are unproductive.

Next time you or someone else on your team organizes a meeting, ask yourself if this can be easily done over e-mail or online. This saves people time to booking and conducting the meeting. Every meeting should have a specific end goal or result, make its clear and achievable!



4.     Tackle Large Problem 1st and Smaller Problems Later

With our lives getting busier and busier is easy to get caught up in all the issue we need to resolve or tasks we need to take care of. Organize in order of urgency and the amount of time it would take.

When workers tackle larger problems 1st, it can make the smaller problems easier to handle afterwards. A large number of productive workers typically use this method of work in order to complete a variety of tasks each and every day.


5.     Make sure to Exercise Frequently

Exercise is not only important for the body, it is almost as important for your mental well being. According to this article from Brain HQ, exercising has been shown to reduce stress hormones while also increasing growth factors in the brain necessary for new neuronal connections.
Working out either in the morning or the evening is great! Finding the motivation to go to the gym after a really long day is hard to find. The most important thing is that you stay consistent with your exercise.
