5 tips for enhancing personal productivity
Interestingly, did you know that holidays and weekends is almost a third of all days of the year. It is easy to check according to the factory calendar.
It turns out that we're resting every third day of the year. And that's not including holidays, which usually lasts for 28 calendar days. Not bad at all.
But sometimes it seems that these days, very little for recreation. Perhaps the problem is not the number of output, and as workers.
I have compiled the best tips that allow you to increase personal effectiveness and less tired.
1. Stop working after hours.
Surely You have not once thought to work in weekends or stay after work. It's not a good idea. In 1926, Henry Ford conducted a study on the duration of the working day. He found that a longer working week leads to decreased productivity.
In simple words, the more time you spend at work, the less good. Ultimately appreciated the result, not the number of hours spent.
2. Sleep more
Lack of sleep affects Your condition is much stronger than You think. According to the research of Sarah Robinson, in the case of lack of sleep by one hour every night during the week, the person begins to experience mental disorders. The same as the state average of intoxication. And the man himself does not realize it (have You ever tried to convince a drunk man he's drunk?).
3. Use an effective planning system
Record on sticky, calendar, Notepad, letter in the mail, order over the phone... every day you have to process tons of information. Constant search for the desired entry or attempts to keep all the important things in mind – a direct path to stress and low productivity.
I recommend to learn the GTD methodology. The main feature of the approach is that the necessary information is always at your fingertips. Also You don't have to make a daily to-do lists and get upset every time some urgent things imposed on others.
3. Learn to say "No"
Both themselves and others. Each of us wants to be a good person. As a result, we say "Yes" much more often than necessary.
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful almost always say "no" – Warren Buffet.
If You zaporojets doing your timing, you will be surprised how much time it takes requests from people. The most offensive, that in most cases these things you could never do. Next time, before something to promise or answer the return on a request for someone, think it might be better to say: "Sorry, not this time".
4. Delegate wisely
It's amazing how much you can do if you do some of the routine cases. Do not think that every thing will be done perfectly only if you do it yourself. Allow other people to help you. And we definitely should not do the job for others.
Some of the work can be entrusted to children or to hire a cleaning lady. Most of the things you can buy in the online store with home delivery. Part of the routine work can be outsourced to a freelancer (don't be afraid to pay him from his salary) and so on...
5. Do not take long-term decisions during negotiations
The only thing you can promise in the negotiations: "we are all well again think about it and give a response within a day." A hasty arrangement destroyed not one good project. These are often guilty of sales managers, when trying to quickly close the deal and begin to promise "Golden mountains".
Don't be afraid to seem indecisive. Often additional time for reflection allows you to Refine many of the details and to give a more accurate answer. That seemed simple can become very complex and Vice versa.
It is always better to give a professional response than impulsive. published
