Become a work from home businessman. Quit your 9-5 job and start living a LIFE.
Find herewith 50 ways to increase your productivity and add hours to your day.
1. Take a break. Do you know that working in short duration blocks increase your productivity? If you keep on working continuously, then it actually reduces your optimum productivity.
2. Just start. Starting is the hardest part. Most of the times, works are not done in time because you just don’t start. Start working on it and you will get into a rhythm. Then finishing a work will not be tough.
3. Love what you do. This is something which is universal and has its roots deep into philosophy and psychology. When you do what you love, then you become more productive.
4. Set a timer. Set a timer for anything you do. This timing helps you to control waste of your time.
5. Find out your most productive time during the day. Everybody, including you, has a specific time during the day when you are most active and most productive. Utilize this time by eliminating the distractions. Schedule your work accordingly.
6. Eliminate all distractions. Now this helps you to improve your productivity within a short time. Your time is wasted by distractions such as emails, phones, multiple open web browsers on the desktop etc.
7. Complete your most dreaded tasks first thing in the morning. If have to do something, then love it- some wise man told it long back. True. If you do not like something then do that work first of all. It strengthens your will and helps you to find out that it’s not so hard or bad as you think.
8. Music. I personally feel and experts have proved that little music can help you to improve your productivity. But this does not mean heavy metal played on full volume. The volume should be dim and the music should play at the background.
9. Use JDarkRoom. This is an application which removes distractions and lets you write efficiently. You get a complete blank page to write. So it reduces the chance of distraction from emails, IM or web. Once you are done, save the work as a text file.
10. Keep a notebook and pen on hand at all times. This practice helped me a lot. It looks simple but yet it is very effective. Write down your thoughts, ideas and to-do work lists. Do not keep anything in your head, instead put it in paper.
