How to Become More Productive?

Hi All,

Let's call today, 'Efficiency Tuesday' because today, is, well, Tuesday. And besides, who doesn't want to become more efficient?  You get more done with less work and you can spend time doing the things that you really, really want to do.

So...read on and become, well, more efficient at work.

One of the more well known small business magazines, Inc., has created an article titled, '6 Things Really Productive People Do'.  Click on the prior link to get to the article.  So, what does the article say readers should do? 
1. Pick Your Priorities
2. Go For Efficiency
3. Integrate Your Activities
4. Actively Manage Time-wasters
5. Be An Active Learner
6. Lighten Up

All good ideas - especially the last one - lightening up....

From the work and employment point of view, readers might want to click on this link from US News and World Report for this article titled, '10 Ways to Be More Productive At Work'.  And who wouldn't want to become more productive at work - especially since we spend roughly 25% (40 hours out of a total of  168 hours in a week) of our time at work.  We may as well be efficient and do good job!

As you will see the list is more holistic and appeals the mind and body of the employee - especially when compared to the prior list. 

The 10 ways are...
1. Take breaks
2. Prioritize
3. Set long-term goals
4. Start your day earlier
5. Surf the web - occasionally
6. Don't multitask
7. Meditate
8. Snack right
9. Power nap
10. Counter interruptions

So there you have it - two really good links that will start you on your way to becoming more productive at work.  The real question is, will you take the next step and click on the links? I bet you will!

Enjoy the sites and good luck on becoming more productive!
