What are the secrets (sadly buried) of the desired productivity? Why are some people true prodigies from the point of productivity and for others the hours of the day invariably fall short (no matter how much they try to stretch them like chewing gum)? When answering these and other questions related to productivity, it is worth noting, first of all, that working more hours does not necessarily make us more productive . Working intelligently is the key to finishing our workday by having crossed out a good part of the pending tasks on our endless to-do list. Secondly , it is advisable not to ignore age and experience when sinking your teeth into productivity . In general terms, taller and more experienced professionals score better than younger, novice professionals in terms of production, according to a recent study published by Harvard Business Review . And thirdly , the general productivity levels of men and women are virtually identical , although both genders present differences in terms of the habits they adopt to boost their personal productivity. Women are, for example, better than the opposite sex when it comes to planning (more or less to the millimeter) the meetings in which they are going to take part.
The professionals who score best in terms of productivity are normally associated with more or less similar habits . They plan their work based on their top priorities and then act with a goal in mind. They also develop Email Data effective techniques to manage the high number of tasks they have on the table. And they also understand the needs of their colleagues (who obviously value their time and don't want to waste it just like that). Fortunately, productivity is a kind of muscle that can be conveniently exercised. And to do this it is necessary to give strength to 3 very specific habits : 1. Make plans using priorities as a compass – Review our agenda the night before to make our priorities clear and write down next to each appointment marked on our calendar the objectives that overlap with it. – Send a detailed agenda to all participants taking part in a meeting before it takes place. – When embarking on large projects, sketch out preliminary conclusions as soon as possible.
Before delving into reading material that is particularly rich in details, first identify the specific purpose of this task. – Before writing very long texts, write a sketch provided with a logical order so that we can rely on it and not lose direction when undertaking this task. 2. Equip yourself with effective techniques to adequately manage information and work overload – Turn small daily processes such as getting dressed or eating breakfast into routines (so you don't have to think too much about the effort they entail). – Leave gaps in our daily schedule to deal with emergencies or totally unforeseen events. – Take a look at the screens of our multiple electronic devices once every hour and not every 5 minutes. – Filter the messages that land in our email inbox by looking at the subject and sender. – Divide big projects into small pieces so that we can reward ourselves for each little piece that we have managed to achieve. – Delegate to others (whenever possible) tasks that are not part of our particular core of priorities.
