Pounce on productivity in 2022

Take a look at our productivity tips below.

Focus

• If you’re struggling to write something, just put anything down on the paper, you can’t edit a blank page
• Work on one thing at a time – don’t multi-task
• Set your workspace before you start work, otherwise your workspace will become a distraction
• Breakdown larger tasks into smaller ones

Technology

• Keep a to do list or a kanban board for tasks you’re working on
• Turn off your notifications (phone and computer)
• Put your phone on silent and let it go to voicemail if you’re working on something really important

Habits

• Put a pen and paper beside you at night in case you remember something important
• Write your to-do list the night before

Schedule

• Make the most of your natural energy levels and schedule your work for when you’re ‘feeling’ productive
• If a task takes <10 minutes then just do it, don’t schedule it
• Harness the 80/20 rule – focus on the 20% of your work that produces the 80% of results
• Delegate any tasks that should be done by someone else
• Eliminate any tasks that should be done by someone else
• Eliminate trivial decisions from your day (like what to eat for lunch)
• Set a daily priority
• Start your day with a short team huddle – this will reduce emails sent throughout the day
• Block time out in your calendar for important tasks
• Take regular, scheduled breaks
