Productivity Basics

Productivity is generally measure by the resulting outcome produced and if this outcome is acceptable then the productivity percentage is deemed acceptable too, therefore understanding the elements that are required are where the answer lies.

The Basics

There are several tricks that one can apply in order to be able to be more productive without the hassle or stress it is perceived to present.
The most would be to make a list of all the tasks expected of the individual and then eliminating those tasks that either don‟t require the individual‟s hand on participation or are not that urgent to start with.

This not only allows the individual to focus on only the necessary tasks but also relieves the individual from its possible distractions.
Setting daily goals with the main goal always in focus also helps in the effort to keeping things on track and in focus always. It also eliminates the tendency to waste time on processes that will not eventually positively contribute to the goal.

Identifying one‟s own peak times for productivity is also another important element to take advantage of. Having the energy to be productive throughout the day is not only unlikely it is also improbable; therefore there is a need to capitalize on the productivity time frame and get as much done within this frame as possible.

Being in a work conducive environment is also something that should be given due consideration as this will directly affect the producing results.

Too many distractions will take the focus of the individual away from completing the tasks according to the pre prepared schedules and thus cause the overall timeline to be disrupted. This could then cause temporary derailment from the overall work schedule towards achieving the goal.
