The time
spent at work does not automatically ensure increased productivity and maximum
efficiency. Being productive means being able to perform different tasks, with
a considerable impact, in a short period of time and without overwhelming
yourself with unimportant details.
As a general
perspective, productivity implies the ability to properly coordinate yourself
and your professional habits.
Here are
some examples of carefully managed activities that can increase your
productivity.
Focus on the
important things
The most
important thing is to remove, right from the beginning of the day, all the
unimportant aspects and make a list with things that must be done. Evaluate
each task individually and sort them according to the importance, value and
impact they have on the final results.
Make sure you take
advantage of your breaks
Productivity
does not require robotic work without taking any break, on the contrary.
Working without breaks negatively influences productivity.
Avoid multitasking
Even if the
term is in vogue, at least among certain people who typically like to brag
about their fantastic capabilities, multitasking should be avoided because it
can lead to a significant decrease in efficiency, caused by the effort needed
to refocus attention to solve the problem initially abandoned. Multitasking typically
involves poorer quality work.
Providing employees with private work space with office cubicles that provide a quiet environment also helps with high productivity.
