Ways To Increase Productivity

Does this sound familiar to you? First thing in the morning, you have just a general idea of what tasks you have to complete. One day and three meetings later, you remember that you’re no closer to accomplishing any of the tasks you planned than you were when you first began. Yes, it is!

5 Ways to Increase Productivity Using Technology - Veriday Blog

We’re here to help, and it’s already on the way. Here are some of my favourite methods for organising and channelling my time:

What is Productivity?


production is characterized as products and services produced during a given period of time. It is in your management of business affairs that your strength lies. Time is the limiting factor and the scale on which we make decisions. So keep an eye on the amount, but don’t concentrate on the production. Excellence!!

It is advantageous to know where you, as an executive, use (or squander) your time as we break down your day. When most CEOs and businesses are tight on time, they’re getting none of their actual job done, they’re spending their day in meetings and when they’re lucky, they find themselves facing flames.

Caving in to those who demand our attention is easy. When we are finished with all the other issues, we could have just had two or three hours of work left. Winding your way through this document will be to your advantage, so read on for time-saving tips.

Alternatively, instead of being concerned with being efficient, strive to be successful

Learn to make the most of meetings

Do you engage in weekly meetings? Use your imagination to see how far it can go. A good thinking about that it takes at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to see just how much time is lost. While meetings are essential to leadership, you can save time by optimising meetings.

When do you have time to meet? Sharing information is no more difficult, no less powerful, when conveyed in clear, straightforward terms via email or a video. You may deputise your team member to serve as host or recipient, use them as scribes to record messages, and have them report.

Don’t avoid any meetings.Let everybody in the meeting have a goal to be achieved. An excessive number of cooks in the kitchen causes the meal to go bad. Just invite those who will help you reach your goal.

Always have a plan for both start and finish dates and a times allocated for each segment of the creative process, as well as consistent goals and deliverables. A subject that has run its course should be pushed to the side in favour of a different one that develops from it, if another topic emerges. Settle down.

However, it is critical. Prior to disbanding, summarise all arrangements made and ensure that each team member is completely aware of their future responsibilities.

Resolve the emails that never stop

They’re insistent, always interrupting to demand your attention. The statistic on how many emails executives typically receive each day is more difficult to obtain; let’s just agree on “hundreds.” Many of us have become dependent on it to the point of total compulsiveness The best noise I’ve ever heard is the buzzer in the kitchen.

Take the initiative! Reduce the frequency and open your email accounts elsewhere so you don’t get captivated by it while you have other work to do. Write emails using a strategy, such as reading and responding to them regularly. For smaller monsters, attend to them just three to four times per day. It might also be advantageous to inform your staff and colleagues that you would be nonresponsive so no one gets offended if you don’t answer immediately.

Set aside times to answer emails, but do not procrastinate. utilise Merlin Mann’s “inbox zero” technique to triage messages Doing stuff in your inbox is not equivalent to being productive.

Instead of having messages pile up in your Outlook purgatory, you can choose any of these five options to get them out: Delete, assign, delay, ignore, answer, or do something, and then ask for forgiveness.

To start off, it is best to get rid of what you can.

Use anything that doesn’t have to go forward to anyone else (which is why you recruited good people).

Give fast responses only if they take less than a couple of your time.

It will last much longer than two minutes. store all items in the “for later” in the “defer” folder; set aside a specific time per day to work on those

What have you got in mind? Go ahead. Take the initiative. Better still, just delete it.

As you’re already working for a clean inbox, a calm mind, and to start your day in a more organized fashion, the combination is positive.

When it comes to getting things done, listening to music, you will notice an increase in productivity among these 6 types.

Record it. Write it out

Let’s get back to work. excellent Busy with other things? You may know about Zeigarnik’s Law, which holds that we recall completed activities and events better than those that haven’t occurred yet. Instead of fighting the Zeigarnik in your brain, use it.

Organized lists of tasks will become your best friends. That’s a job you’ve accomplished when you have finished a creative project, not a task when you finish it. It goes without saying that if you’re the sort of person who includes something only for completion’ One might argue that success-celebragging serves as a huge motivator. If you don’t keep track of paper in your day-to-to-day work activities, you will benefit from certain digital tools, such as computerised systems: You should try QuanticLogic, AirTable, Airtable, or Quantic Todoist. Additional benefits include setting time limits, allowing you to shut out virtual friends, connecting to your calendar, and syncing with other social networks

Meware of the perils, however. A to-do list is a list of priorities. Also, be aware that adding items to your to your list is not a replacement for a definite action to take. To ensure completion, break down a large projects into several small sub-tasks that must be accomplished over time with distinct deadlines. “Nudges” for the most significant daily activities might be useful.

Now that you have written it down, you can actually put a time frame of reference around your day.

First, work on the task at hand, then pursue your own objectives

You are likely to be more active during regular working hours, perhaps. Shut down those hours of the day every single day to catch up with your pedalling. Ensure to take regular breaks from work, particularly in the morning. They work wonders for enhanced energy and clarity.

What will you work on today? Remember that tasks that don’t take long to complete are also valued.

You will have to spend your entire career learning to master the art of prioritising. Overall goals could include targets, objectives, and timeframes. You might use OKRs (objectives and key results) to identify precise, time-bound, and measurable goals that are congruent with your strategic direction. Changes can be tracked on a week-over-to-week basis, and follow-up actions are regularly monitored for results.

Using the Eisenhower matrix technique, you could sort tasks into one of urgent/non-urgent and three of necessary/unimportant: important, urgent/critical, non-critical, and non-urgent This can help you to identify what is most important to you. Both essential and non-entertaining activities lead to change.

Problems appear

It can’t be avoided even if you are already a CEO, your most well-conceived plans are disrupted by several meetings as well as medium-sized and minor issues arising on a daily basis. As well as time-consuming, it’s also extremely common for a job to exceed its estimated length.

Flexibility and responsiveness are essential, as is usually provided. Think about what you want to write on Sunday night, what you’d like to get done on Monday morning, and what you want to finish in the middle of the week. If you don’t manage to deal with those three problems by Friday, it’s going to be quite a drama week for you.

Making sense of it, applying it


Now that you’ve committed to learning about these activities, it’s time to focus on selecting two or three tips that will help you. You will increase your productivity by managing your time, de-cluttering your mind, and making time to relax.
