Begin your day early

All successful and productive people tend to be early risers. Even though its difficult to say that the morning hours would be the most productive working hours according to your habits but its easy to move the hardest part of the work to the beginning of the day.

Ways to be more productive at work:

Stay focused: You need to concentrate on the main tasks that needs to be completed and not get distracted by other issues which don't require your immediate attention. It is always smart to solve the problems as and when they come up to increase your productivity.

Create a schedule for the day: Make a list of tasks you have on hand and schedule time for the completion of each task. This to do list is my personal favorite method and I have found it to be super effective when it comes to the matter of productivity. When we have a deadline for a task and we keep ourself diciplined to complete it in the allotted time, our mind will give full focus to the task and you will be able to complete your tasks with a high level of efficiency.

Avoid responding to all notifications from your Mobile phones: Don't lose your focus when doing a particular task, discipline yourself to attending your phone only during the break time or only in case of emergency. A task done without distraction is just like driving a car from one place to another without applying any brakes, which will definitely cover a long distance against the car moving with brakes being applied even now and then.

Ask for help: Learn how other people are managing their time productively, its always good to learn from the experience of other people. Always keep up your discipline towards the set goals towards the completion of the tasks.

Use Technology: Nowadays lot of readymade templates for various tasks are available online, use them to save your time.

Delegate: Don't be “I will do it all” type of person. Do only those tasks which require your prime attention and try to delegate the remaining tasks to others.

Reward yourself: Reward yourself sometimes, when you feel that you have really done a good job. This creates a positive impact on your subconscious mind which will help you to repeat the process of excellency again and again. The rewards need not be big, it can be as small as a hot chocolate treat or a spicy burger at your local cafe.

Be aware : Always be aware of yourself being more and more productive when you do so you will think and come up with ways to become more and more productive everyday.
