14 Tips & Tricks to improve productivity at workplace!

‘Productivity’ is one term that every individual, as an efficient resource; and a manager, as an effective leader; should expect from oneself and the team. Time is money and making efficient use of time will not only enable you to gain more, but as a team you can achieve higher goals.

“Productivity is nothing but doing things more efficiently, timely and getting most of your time.”

1. Plan in Advance, never hurts!

“Boost your productivity with proper planning and have a to-do list for

each day.”

2. Use the Right Tools; it’s high-time

“Setting up tools in your workplace will reduce ad-

hoc tasks and bring in every team member to a centralised platform. With the help of such

tools you can not only align team, assign tasks and allocate

timeline, but also ensure the quality of work and generate

evaluation reports.”

Thanks to the SaaS uprising in the past decade that

has given birth to several pay-as-you-go time tracking tools like Rescue Time,

beautiful calendars likeCal, conversational email tools like

Mail-time and team productivity tools like Gridle;

you can now have them up and running in no-time!

3. Connect the Right Dots.. It’s easy

• When it comes to assigning resources, it is pointless to waste time of other people in the discussion. Just add those resources who are essential for the task. Define a plan of action and get things grooving. This will help you to efficiently utilise the time of all the resources and scale up your expectations.

4. Great Time to Automate; because, why not?

• Automating the regular processes will not only make your delegation simple but also easy for your subordinates and team to understand. When you know how to manage and team has a clear vision of the path to follow, your productivity scales up.

5. Define a Working Model.. It works.

With a defined process, you can get things faster, better and more efficiently.

6. Re-size the Project; Da Vinci did too..

When you are working on a large project it becomes

difficult to focus on smaller things.

In such a case, it is recommended to break such tasks in to smaller

chunks. You will be able to define a clear roadmap to cover all the

chunks within the given timeline and concentrate on each task.

7. But they are good!

All of us have faced it and very well know the pressure of

deadline, but they are good. Nobody is going to kill anybody for missing the deadline, but it motivates us to finish our task

before time, quickly and efficiently.

8. Share Information

The simple secret is that when team starts sharing information

with each other, they spend less time researching and

emailing. So instead of holding the information to yourself, share as much as you can.

9. Wave out Distractions; they kill too..

Whether we browse internet, take emergency calls, quick chat, or

have a coffee break; distractions are a part of our work life.

Probably before you end reading this statement, you already know list of

distractions that affect your productivity, so just try to wave it off.

10. Plan the Unplanned

• Planning and preparation walk hand in hand. When you are planning for new tasks, you need to also be prepared to tackle the unplanned efforts.

11. Try saying ‘NO’!It often happens that while you are working on important things, you are asked to work on trivial ones; although you are not ready for that but you are unable to say ‘No’ and ultimately it impacts your productivity.

So, the best way to survive such invitations is by building right boundaries and declining the offer smartly.

12. Stephen Covey’s Priority Management

The matrix, also known as Eisenhower’s Urgent-Important Principle, distinguishes between importance and urgency:•Important responsibilities contribute to the achievement of your goals.•Urgent responsibilities require immediate attention. These activities are often tightly linked to the accomplishment of someone else’s goal. Not dealing with these issues will cause immediate consequences.

13. Relish your Hard work, always!

At the same time it is also important

that once you finish the task, you

need to take a break, relax and relish your hard

work!

14. Work Hard — Sleep Harder

• Improper sleep can badly affect your health and hamper your productivity. Taking complete sleep relaxes your body and brain which is very necessary for increased output.
