Productivity as most people would define it is being efficient in producing work or results. It's about getting the most and doing the most with the available time and resources made available to you. Being productive means much more than that, actually. It's also about having the right mindset, intentions, and drive. The burning questions in our minds then becomes how can we make our daily life more productive? Does it simply mean being able to do more or having more results? Well, yes and no. Yes in the sense that the actual outcome would mean really being able to do more and have more done. No in the sense that it is also a question of optimal time management. Time, you see, is not really on our side. That is a fact. Each second of every minute of every hour of every day of our lives will never be returned to us. We simply age even as you read this. That is a natural law and there simply is no way getting around it.
Being more productive begins with establishing new habits and eradicating old ones. The following should be a daily inclusion in your TO DO list;
1. Be more observant of what you do on a daily basis and the length of time by which you do them.
2. Be less idle. Learn to do things in between things.
3. Start your day early and note which part of the day you are most productive and when is your down-time.
4. Stay Healthy.
5. Be more compliant and less fixated on other people's "How-to's" in life.
6. Always have a backup plan handy and always see things through YOURSELF.
7.It's always about ATTITUDE.
Being more productive is also about the way you interact with the people you encounter on a daily basis. What I mean by this is its also about relationships.
How you react and interact ultimately has resounding effects on your level of productivity. So breed a healthy environment not just in the workplace but at home as well. Stress, depression, and tension have the most negative effects on your outlook and the way you perform. Also, learn to be dynamic. "Flow like water", as they say. Never commit yourself to totality but rather commit yourself in being at your best even at the worst of times. Until our next post, folks. You guys take care.
