How To Become More Productive In 2019
Sometimes, we find ourselves overwhelmed at the thought of our tasks for the day. It can happen to the best of us. Instead of feeling defeated, approach your daily tasks in a new light. Together, all of us at Kelly Global Consultants have come up with a list of ways to become more productive. Take a note from us, and start making this year the most productive one yet!
Plan your week ahead of time.
Get ahead of the curve and plan your week in advance! Take a few moments before the start of each week to make your schedule. You can set up all your appointments and meetings while keeping in mind not to double book. Laying your whole schedule out gives you a visual of your week. Remember to use your time wisely and never spread yourself too thin!
Use time blocking to be more efficient.
Your day is made up of so many tasks, so why not tackle them in an organized fashion? Create time blocks dedicated to the types of tasks throughout your day. For example, set aside a chunk of time solely dedicated to office responsibilities. Allow your mind to focus on one thing at a time, and you are able to produce at a more efficient pace. Give this unique tactic a try and see how big of a difference it can make.
Accomplish your hardest task first.
We always have that one task on our list that we dread doing. Instead of looking at this as a burden, view it as an opportunity! Accomplishing your hardest task first will you put you in a great mood! You will feel accomplished beyond belief. Also, the rest of your day will become a breeze!
Use technology to your advantage.
In today’s world, technology is all around us! From the phones in our pockets to the watches on our wrists, why not use this technology to our advantage? Consider downloading an app to help with your time management skills or one that can help you improve your communication skills (we’re major fans of Todoist and Trello). There are also amazing softwares out there that can help you analyze data and get the most from your information (we recommend Rescuetime). Consider integrating new technology to help you improve your productivity!
From all of us at Kelly Global Consultants, we wish you the best in 2019. May you make this your most productive year yet. Remember to plan your schedule ahead of time, use time blocking to tackle your tasks, complete your hardest task first, and consider new advancements in technology and we know you can do it. What are you waiting for?!
