Whether you’re working for someone else or you’re running your own business, productivity is key. It can be easy to get distracted by other things that take away from your productivity, especially if you’re your own boss and/or you work from home. Here are some ways you can maximize your work productivity:
Don’t multi-task
Juggling multiple projects at once might seem like a productive approach, but it may lead to burn out and incomplete assignments. Instead, focus solely on a single task until it’s complete, before moving on to the next. While you’re working on each project, give it your undivided attention and clear your mind of the other tasks that are on your to-do list.
Track your time
You may not realize just how much time you spend on a single project or assignment. Time each task—you might be surprised at the results, and you may discover that your time is being spent on things that shouldn’t take nearly as long. Once you see how long it’s taking you to complete certain assignments, you can set a maximum time limit and stick to it.
Take advantage of free time
Whether it’s on the train to work, an airplane ride, or even just waiting at a doctor’s office, use the time that you’d normally spend just waiting around to take care of some business matters. Even if it’s just sorting through emails, taking care of small tasks in your free time can help you be more productive during the workday.
Download helpful apps
No matter what industry you’re working in, or what your daily duties consist of, it’s very likely that there’s at least one app out there that can help make your job a bit easier. In fact, after an initial time investment, some apps will even do all the work for you, which can help to maximize your productivity. If you make daily social media updates, for instance, apps like Hootsuite can allow you to schedule your updates in advance.
