People assume that being productive mean doing more work each day, but it’s not right. Instead, productivity means a person’s efficiency of completing a task. Productivity is doing important things persistently. No matter whatever task you perform each day in your workplace but only some of the things are true and very much important, if you are completing important tasks consistently then only you are productive in your work. You are not required to work for a number of hours but you need to work smartly, spend time on those tasks which can benefit the workplace or company.

Try to focus on one thing and then move to another
  • TRY TO MINIMIZE INTERRUPTIONS: Try not to get interrupted in between your work, this will disturb you and then are you cannot focus and it will take more time to complete a task. Interruptions can be minor like an unexpected phone call, minimizing interruptions may mean you can set office hours, keeping your door closed, or you can work from home for to complete time-based projects.
  • PREPARE TO-DO LIST: Organize your to-do list each night for next coming day, this will make your work more customized and will also save your time for next.
