Simple Things That Can Make You More Productive!

No matter what kind of person you are.

Even if you feel you are a very productive person, there are always opportunities to increase your output.

The easiest thing you can do to increase your productivity is to plan ahead. I plan my day the night before. It only takes 5 minutes and it helps me get right to work when I wake up in the morning. By knowing what I have to get done ahead of time I can stop wasting time trying to figure out my schedule.

Since I do my best work in the morning I try to schedule my hardest or biggest tasks first. If you’re not a morning person you may want to plan to do a few smaller tasks in the morning before tackling your bigger projects.

Multi-tasking is a great way to save time. If I have two small non important tasks like washing dishes and doing the laundry I can do them at the same time and accomplish two tasks at once!

To-do lists are my favorite thing. They help me stay on track and keep focused on what I have to get done. Don’t make you to-do list to long. You don’t want to get overwhelmed with the work you have to get done. Set reasonable goals that you can accomplish.

I also make a to-do-later list. Sometimes things come up that don’t demand my immediate attention. I put them on the do it later…
