When you manage events in your life in relation to time, you wish you could get more time. Every year you make resolutions for being more productive by managing your time but they are left not more than a faded memory every time. With only 24 hours a day, you cannot have even a single minute extra to complete your work. But more productivity is possible once you make changes to your routine. The wise words according to experts are that time is the most valuable currency and the most finite resource. So you need to ensure that you maximize your most valuable currency by making small changes to your daily routine.
Doing multiple things at one time:
It is assumed that people who accomplish more during their time, they multitask their work. But, according to experts, these are the people who are more easily distracted than others. Those who multitask appear to get a lot done but that is not true. Multitasking make them less productive as compared to the people who do one thing at a time.
Concentration:
It seems like improve concentration in the modern world is impossible. According to experts, most productive ten percent of the workers work on average 52 minutes before taking a break. The idea of taking a break makes you more productive. It gives you the power to choose what you want to pay attention towards and what to ignore.
Get an app for a task that hinders your productivity:
There may be one task that you are not very good at and is a big reason for keeping your productivity low. It may be because you repeatedly miss phone calls from customers. You can get an app to stay in touch with your customers no matter where you are.
Assign responsibilities:
At times when you may think that you can do a job better but that might not be true. You need to know what you are good at and where delegating would be best to complete a work. It may not sound easy to handover some work to other people but it will free you a lot of time and the work will be completed more efficiently.
Attend only important meetings:
Most part of the day gets wasted when you attend meetings. For saving your energy and time, attend the meetings that are absolutely necessary. Try to eliminate all the other meetings which you think can be held without you. But if you cannot do that, try to make them as much productive as you can and keep them under 30 minutes or less. Another good way to save time is to create an agenda and send it ahead of the time of a meeting.
