TIPS TO STAY PRODUCTIVE AT WORK

Treat Your Body Well

Getting enough sleep, making time for daily exercise and eating healthy food all
boost your brain's resistance to distraction. The price you pay for sleep deprivation is
no secret these days, and one of its main symptoms is an inability to concentrate.
Regular exercise beats stress and makes it easier to get those requisite hours of
snooze time every night, while healthy eating fuels you. When you find yourself
reaching for sugary beverages or unhealthy snacks, take a moment to remember the
sluggish feeling you get after eating this kind of snack food.
Unplug Social Media

Alcohol or drugs may come to mind when you think addiction, but more people are
finding it extremely difficult to live through even a workday without social media. Yes,
that means Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all your other favorites. Stay away
from your social media accounts at work unless your job involves interacting with
clients there. Check quickly for messages during your lunch break if you must. These
distractions prevent you from focusing on your work.
Write a To-Do List

Creating a to-do list every morning may be viewed as “old school” by some, but it still
provides a great road map for a productive day. Keeping on track via an official list
on a mobile app is a simple matter of following your own directions, which is easier
than innovating when your energy is low. Use your list-making time to set priorities
for the day as well, describing each task's urgency. Assign an A, B or C to every
item, with A being an absolute must-do. B might be something you hope to
accomplish and C can be an in-case-you-have-time task.
Break Big Tasks into Small Ones

Break down big projects into bite-size tasks when you're making that to-do list. It will
make them more approachable. Organization in an integral part of productivity and it
opens doors to more efficient results. If your task is to write a big report, you may
waste time fretting over how to begin. Breaking down this sort of foreboding
assignment into managable segments allows you to jump right in. The sense of
accomplishment that comes from finishing each small task and crossing it off the list
propels you forward to the next.
Take Breaks

It may be hard to take a break from your work when deadlines loom, or when you
have a million things you must accomplish. Take a break anyway, and you'll find that
it increases your productivity. Work in chunks of time — between 60 and 90 minutes
— then stop and recharge. Taking a break does not mean checking your social
media accounts, however. Give your brain 15 minutes of downtime by unplugging
and taking a walk or a nap.
Keep Things Neat

Straightening out your work space is a great end-of-the-day ritual. You'll arrive the
following morning to find the files relating to your top project ready and waiting for
you. Irrelevant papers will be filed away or in the garbage. Some people claim to
work best in untidy spaces, but try tidying up for a few weeks and you may agree
that a messy desk is not conducive to productivity.
Kick the Multitasking Habit

It may be possible for you to do two, three or even four things at the same time
thanks to technology, and you may think that multitasking is expected of you.
However, it often reduces productivity. Productivity is based on concentration. How
can you concentrate on an important telephone conversation when you are
simultaneously editing the report you wrote yesterday? You'll have to resort to
multitasking occasionally, but try to focus on one thing at a time as much as
possible.
Practice Optimism

It takes energy to be negative, so you'll have more to invest in your work if you try to
look on the bright side. A positive, optimistic attitude stops your mind from heading
into stressful territory. Try reminding yourself that you can get the job done, or
smiling as you walk into your office. You'll also get better feedback from your peers,
which is always a plus.
