How To be productive, and not busy
✨Take breaks between tasks; increases productivity, our brains can feel on overload and we can become careless and lose focus. Small bursts of breaks outside 🌳 can increase oxygen to the brain and increase your resilience.
✨Limit your list-less is more; burnout and task anxiety becomes a lot less common with less tasks to work on. The act of narrowing your list to 20 tasks per day to 3 priority tasks can be a game-changer tweak for your productivity system, helping you do less, but more meaningful tasks.
✨Do what’s important first;
Determining the most important thing that we need to accomplish for the day is a great way to make sure that they get done. Because if you don't know what you want to accomplish, if you don't know the more important things that need to get done, you're unlikely to complete this work or even prioritize it in the first place. A simple way to do this is list down the things that need to be done for the day, and prioritize which needs to be done first.
✨Distraction- free zone; Turn off notifications from email, pings, or alerts so you stay focused on the task at hand and can stay productive.
✨One thing at a time; It starts at the beginning of each work day. Before you plunge into problem-solving mode, take a few minutes and consciously plan your day. This doesn’t mean creating a laundry-list of tasks to complete. Instead, focus on a few key objectives, things that are aligned with your longer-term business objectives and will help you move forward.
✨Ask for help or delegate; We don’t have to pile on the work and think we are sole responsible for everything. We can let others know we need more support on a project. Take the load off by having others do small tasks so you can focus on the bigger project.
